With autumn officially here, we’ve been combing through the high-street’s new-in sections for key pieces to update our workwear wardrobe, and we’ve stumbled across a real hero at Marks & Spencer for the season ahead.
Alongside trending knitted dresses, a knit skirt is an effortless workwear staple for the new season. And, M&S’ new-in style ticks so many boxes. The High Waisted Midi A Line Skirt ticks looks chic and polished, yet thanks to the soft knit material it offers comfort in spades. The A-line silhouette is particularly flattering, gently skimming over your silhouette, while the high-waisted, elasticated design gives definition.
But it’s the colour of this midi that really makes it so perfect for the season. Deep maroon and burgundy hues are always a favourite at this time of year, but seem to be having a real moment right now, with celebrities including Victoria Beckham and the Princess of Wales recently stepping out in the rich shade. Pairing perfectly with autumn’s signature palette of browns, camels and greys, it’s a little more interesting than a classic black skirt.
For a tonal look, pair this midi with M&S’ matching crew neck jumper in the same warm maroon shade to complete the co-ord. Or, team it with a crisp white shirt for an elevated finish. Wear it now with loafers, and when the temperatures drop switch to this season’s knee-high equestrian boots. We can even see ourselves wearing this style beyond the office, paired with a cosy Argyle knit at the weekend. Oh, and did we mention it’s under £40? We’re sold.
