Marks and Spencer shoppers are heaping praise on a £25 skirt that has become an everyday ‘go to’ for fashion fans during summer. The skirt, which has been hailed as having a flattering fit’ by shoppers, is ‘versatile enough to be worn dressed up or down’ thanks to its timeless design and elegant colourway.
The M&S Collection Linen Rich Maxi Skirt has been designed with both style and practicality in mind. It comes in a gorgeous, natural oatmeal shade as well as in black and khaki. Shoppers can also buy the ‘stylish’ skirt in petite, regular and long lengths, so women of every height can find their perfect fit.
The cool and comfortable skirt has been constructed from a linen mix, that is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for warm weather. And no need to worry, as many shoppers have insisted that it’s not see-through.

It has a floaty maxi length, and is complimented by a drawstring waist, which will allow you to decide how tight or loose you want it, as well as cinching you in. Another key feature are the bottom side slits – they’ll show a bit of ankle without the risk of flashing your knickers, as you find with the back slit on many other skirts on the market.
Marks and Spencer‘s M&S Collection Linen Rich Maxi Skirt has been flooded with praise by those who have bought it. Shoppers have been ‘delighted’ with its lightweight but high-quality fabric, and its versatility to be paired with several tops and blouses throughout the summer months.
One shopper said: “This skirt is amazing value, it fits well and feels really nice on. I chose the petite size which was just the right length for me.” A second wrote: “This skirt has become my everyday go to. I’m 5’9″ and ordered long, which skims the top of my shoes. It washes well and isn’t see through like a lot of linen. I like the splits up the sides which ensure your ankles and shoes are shown off too.”
A third penned: “I recently purchased a perfect linen skirt, and it’s fabulous. The fit is impeccable, with a flattering silhouette that enhances my shape. The linen fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for warm weather. It’s versatile enough to dress up or down and features a timeless design. This skirt has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. Highly recommend.”
Another positive review read: Generous fit, a modern and stylish take on your normal linen pieces. Bold yet easy to compliment colour.” “Worn it loads this week,” mentioned another. “Good fit, very practical, had loads compliments , very versatile. Looks good with various tops and jackets.”
However, one person gave the Linen Rich Maxi Skirt a negative review, calling it ‘overwhelmingly disappointed’. They wrote: “Very unflattering, shapeless, awful colour (oatmeal), supposed to be short/petite – no way. Just nothing about it that I would recommend. Will be returning.”
But another loved their latest M&S purchase, adding: “An easy to wear summer staple. Great alternative to my trusty linen trousers in the summer. Good fit and length. Will be fab on holiday for hot summer evenings.”
