Will anyone get 'the' M&S skirt?

That suede one?

Or is it over-hyped, over-priced and over-exposed?

never heard of it. Do you have a link to it?

What's the hype about it?

That one.

I can't see it regenerating their fashion fortunes, whatever the papers say

No, not unless I was a reed thin young model who could carry 'fugly' off

SoupDragon · 14/05/2015 07:16

My word, that's ugly!

Andcake · 14/05/2015 07:16

Not nice - so no. I think it's like the fuss they made about that pink coat a few winters ago. I saw a few people in them ( London) suited some but mostly on looked badly made

BuyMeAPony · 14/05/2015 07:16

It's hideous.

Jumblebee · 14/05/2015 07:17

No, it's hideous Confused this coming from someone with no fashion sense whatsoever

britishbakeoffblues · 14/05/2015 07:22

Oh for the love of God, NO!!!
That's vile.

rootypig · 14/05/2015 07:22

I like it! would look like fancy dress where I live in California though. This city has killed my fashun mojo Hmm Grin

spookyskeleton · 14/05/2015 07:23

Wow, £200 for that Shock I wouldn't buy it if it was £20!

WipsGlitter · 14/05/2015 07:27

They do this every year relentlessly plug some item claiming it shows they've got "it".

They need to stick to what they do best - good basics and middle of the road stuff. Get that right and then concentrate on reclaiming the fashion crown.

BadgersArse · 14/05/2015 07:42

is it still not out even? Bored of reading about a skirt the colour of diarrhoea

BadgersArse · 14/05/2015 07:42

its a hideous length

victoire1208 · 14/05/2015 07:43

I wouldn't have it given to me. Foul.

Very very ugly

NCTimeAgain · 14/05/2015 07:51

It looks shite. Even on the model.

dexter73 · 14/05/2015 07:58

DMBL40 wants it!

BeaufortBelle · 14/05/2015 07:58

Hideous colour.

M&S (needs klaxon here) please can you make some navy/black plain panelled skirts in a good fabric, possibly with a bit of crepe in the weave, cut well, flippy at the bottom and knee length, with a lining.

I'd buy one of those please. I'd pay up to £50 for one too. I have seen something similar in Jaeger and Austin Reed for much much money but you, M&S used to be able to make simple things like that that didn't scream "cheap cut", "M&S colours" "the one everyone else has". I'd also like some simple, unstructure jackets too - a cross between a jacket and a cardigan to wear with skirts like that - you know in navy, black, deep berry colours.

Some cotton summer well cut skirts would be great too - with similar type jackets in paler colours.

I do not want your pretend cheap business range; I do not want your awful Per Una prints and lengths, I do not want your sports range or your Classics Range.

I JUST WANT CLOTHES I CAN WEAR TO WORK

burnishedsilver · 14/05/2015 07:59

I didn't see the skirt. It was over powered by the hideousness of the shoes. I've never seen such and ugly shoe.

FuckingLiability · 14/05/2015 08:03

What the hell is wrong with M&S? They seem to consistently fail to get the basics right, produce awful colours, cover everything with tacky embroidery and churn out horrors like this.

It's the leather dungarees all over again.

I was going to say that skirt is shocking, but then I clicked on the 'faux leather' dungarees Shock

I bet people sat round a table and all agreed they'd nailed it this year. What were they on??

lavenderhoney · 14/05/2015 08:13

It's awful. And from the back even worse. And £199!!!

I can imagine if you're slim it will hang off you and hide your slimness and if your not it will cling to bulges.

And poo brown! Why?
