Who loves this look?

Would you view this garment advertised on line and think - great look, I'll take it?

No

What’s your point, @wheresthesnowgone?

(And you do know there’s a Style & Beauty board on MN?)

I don't think it's very stylish and it definitely wouldn't suit me, as a pear shape. Also I would fear over-exposure when sitting down or bending over.

Looks like it would crease too. In that colour and fabric I'd only consider trousers, and possibly not even then

I’m hoping the OP isn’t using this thread to shame someone in real life …

It reminds me of stewardess uniform.

no

Reminds me scout leader uniform - beige and badly fitting!

Insufficuent skirt for sitting down in

Nope, its a faceless model and a real advert for clothing on a well known retail site.

Yes, I can see all that. It’s still not clear why you’re asking the question?

Not from that picture, no.

But I have two skirts just like that. One I saw in a shop and liked and the other is a skort which is very practical for holidays.

Prison officer chic ...

Because retailers flogging frocks etc don't generally entice shoppers with frumpy looks.

What style of skirt do you prefer OP?

It's the combination they've chosen which just doesn't work, a crumpled shirt, creased skirt and clumpy shoes.

It’s boring, ill fitting and unflattering.

I do

I don't mind the style of skirt, it would be too short for me though others would get away with the length.

I think it's a really badly styled look.

Retail sites aren’t owed any anonymity @wheresthesnowgone .

what site?!

Breaking news

Different retailer, virtually identical outfit.

Anyone else think weird how cagey @wheresthesnowgone is being about the retailer?

I think it might look better on someone else, with longer legs maybe. It’s fine, but it’s a very plain skirt so it’s never going to look amazing.

That looks better.

I only wanted to discuss the strange look and why a retailer would think it would sell.

Do a bit of research if you're that bothered who the retailer is. Clue : reverse search.
