I think I’ve just found the perfect white skirt for summer. I didn’t think it was possible, but here it is. The high street certainly isn’t short on white skirts<\/a> right now, but Marks & Spencer’s version stands out for all the right reasons. Not only does it look far more expensive than its \u00a365 price tag suggests, but it also cleverly combines three of summer’s biggest trends: a hanky hem<\/a>, delicate cutwork and a flattering midaxi length.<\/p>\n

To break it down, let’s start with the silhouette. Falling to a midaxi length, it’s what I like to call the Goldilocks of hemlines – especially as a petite<\/a> woman. It’s not so long that it drowns your frame (or, in my case, my personal vendetta: drags on the floor), yet offers a little more coverage than a midi.<\/p>\n

But the real beauty of this skirt lies in the details. The hemline taps into one of summer’s most understated yet stylish trends: the hanky hem. The asymmetric cut gives it a more premium feel, while adding beautiful movement. Plus, it’s a trend that’s set to carry through well into autumn.<\/p>\n

The hem is also finished with delicate cutwork and embroidery<\/a>. Kept tonal, the detailing is subtle but adds a lovely, feminine touch. Take a close peek and you’ll notice the prettiest floral motifs, very \u00e0 la Chlo\u00e9.<\/p>\n

As for styling, the skirt and its thoughtful details do most of the heavy lifting for you. For weekend errands, pair it with a simple tee<\/a> – black for contrast or white to keep the look monochromatic – and slimline trainers, and you’re good to go. For the office, dress it up with a striped button-down shirt<\/a> and woven flats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

White skirts aren’t just for summer, either. Come autumn, try styling it with chunky moto boots for contrast, then add a cosy knit to complete the look. <\/p>\n

As with any brilliant M&S find, I don’t expect it to stay fully stocked for long. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I think I’ve just found the perfect white skirt for summer.
