summer skirts

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.

Hi Cointreau, I don't mind hearing that. I've never tried to be at the forefront of fashion, and it's too late for me now. I just would like a plainish A line skirt, and according to the fashion stylist yesterday, so do lots of other women.

Plain A line linen skirt - you could remover the tie belt to make it plainer

I really like the look of this one but maybe too patterned for you?

Oasis have some nice ones

I've just had a couple of jersey ones from Weird Fish. They are patterned rather than pain but knee length, comfortable and look nice with a plain vest or t-shirt.

@Romaine, how does Weird Fish size? I’m a Next 14 (if that helps). Really like some of the dresses.

RomaineCalm · 11/05/2018 10:23

@AuntyJackiesBrothersSistersBoy I find the sizing fairly true to Next, perhaps a little more generous.

Lots of gorgeous skirts at Zara Online.
All different lengths and shapes and some really reasonable ones.
