Short tube skirt black/grey/navy

Can anyone recommend a short tube skirt in black, grey or navy? I'm a curvy 8/10.

I have a navy/grey marl one from H&M which is fab but the other colours look cheap (which of course they are!).

P.S. I don't expect to get one for an H&M price

Actually H&M have some great tube skirts in at the moment for under a tenner and they are thick with a good deep rolled waistband. I have one in black, a navy and ochre stripe and a navy.

They are much thicker fabric than the usual cheapie ones. And to date they have not faded.

Seemingly the ones from whistles are the best. You can get short and midi.

Hi LilAnnie - are they on the website? Thx

Whistles are indeed amazing.I looked everywhere but they are still the best.

pinkbadger · 19/10/2014 15:01

Off to look at Whistles too...

I can't see them but instead of having elastic around the waist they seem to be double walled in that the lycra cotton fabric is folded over inside. They are very thick and stretchy and cost £7,99, a bargain.

Hush ruched skirt is really lovely on.

I bought this in the River Island sale during the week, if you're near a River Island store? I liked it because it stays where it is, with the material being thicker, rather than slowly travelling upwards like other tube skirts I've had!

I like Zara for this kind of thing , or you could try Baukjen

I have the whistles mini one in navy. Despite being a 10 everywhere it felt restrictive on me (in the 10). And the mini was too short and the midi too long. Don't know why I bought it.

Like Lil I have the same H&M tube skirt in black. I wear it for work (teaching) and have to say how pleased I am with it. For a mere £7.99 it's perfect.
I'm definitely going to look for any different colours they have.

pinkbadger · 19/10/2014 16:18

Looks like a trip (back) to H&M is in order. I was in there yesterday but only saw the thin ones at £3.99.

Thanks for the other suggestions too - I'll be checking them out.

pencil skirt

This is the one Lil and I have.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/10/2014 16:30

I love the Whistles ones, and Jack Wills (astonishingly) come a close second but they never have many. I have this JW one which I love, but it isn't grey, black or navy! They do have a black one and a grey one currently but tbh I'd go for Whistles as first choice.

BettyMoody · 19/10/2014 16:45

too short , unless you midget like Rl
we have a female boss t ours who dresses in TOO SHORT stuff all the time. but NOW has got a chic below knee skirt suit. Looks so much better

goodasitgets · 19/10/2014 16:57

Matalan had some, will have a look

pinkbadger · 19/10/2014 17:02

suze and Lil what's the sizing on the H&M skirt like?

OP posts:
LilAnnieAmphetamine · 19/10/2014 17:43

They seem quite generous.

suze28 · 19/10/2014 18:12

I bought the small size and normally wear an 8 or 10 in most shops.

Flipflops7 · 19/10/2014 19:04

Primark £5.

SorrelForbes · 19/10/2014 19:48

This Baukjen one caught my eye. No idea about quality or fit I'm afraid.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/10/2014 19:52

I saw this grey one in M&S today, but only from a distance. It looked quite nice.
