summer skirts

[lancashirebornandbred]

Hi, I am looking for a couple of casual, but not denim, knee length skirts for summer. I would prefer plain ones, but a small pattern would do. Am not keen on large patterns like windmills or sailing boats. I suit A-line skirts, and can't see any anywhere. Have just come back from a session with a personal stylist in John Lewis, and she couldn't find me any. Am feeling quite despondent about the whole thing.

Sorry, can't help you but I'm looking for some too. Looked everywhere last year without success. Surely they must exist somewhere?!

The personal shopper told me that a) people were always asking her for them, and b) there wasn't really much demand. She advised me to buy it straight away if I saw one, as there wasn't really time to ponder it, or someone else would buy it.

I usually find Boden have few A line summer skirts. Some of their prints are mad but they do plainer ones also. I have some for years and just buy new one each Summer.....they wash and last v well.

I got one in next a few weeks ago, it’s a stripe pattern I think they have a few different ones, might be worth a look.

Try Joanie Clothing - they have loads of a-line skirts - knee and midi length.

Would something like this work? Or too smart?

Dorothy Perkins always have quite a few A-line skirts, they're not necessarily all the way to the knee but they are quite long.

Something like this?

I just bought one from Gap - very flattering

I have also been looking for this type of skirt. They all seem to be calf length. Its so annoying! White stuff used to have loads as did boden but now they are all horrible patterns, over the knee or pencil skirts.

Have a look in Seasalt.

There are very few on the seasalt website this year sadly. They used have loads too. Most are past the knee and some aren't particularly nice print wise.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep looking, especially in Next and Dorothy Perkins. I hate shopping. So frustrating when you know exactly what you want and can't find it.

Fat face have a few skirts. I bought two at the weekend- first time I have shopped in there for years!

Zalando have some decent ones at the moment.

Boden on eBay. I only wear A-line skirts and that's where I find them.

White Stuff and Fat Face usually do them.

This one from Mantaray isn’t too loud.

I have just brought this one it's very flattering

Esprit
Esprit
M&S

I have an old Hobbs on that’s very similar to the m&s one and I love it- might have to get the m&s one to replace it!

I love that second Esprit skirt Bloomers

You probably don't want to hear this, but......generally, if you can't find a particular style anywhere in the High Street shops, then it's probably no longer in fashion.

I used to wear a lot of this style of skirt, but they feel quite dated now. The only place I can think of that still might do them is White Stuff.

Next have some nice casual summer skirts in a variety of colours here.
