I’d like to get some skirts for summer. I am struggling to find a shape I like. Some seem too flouncy others too tight fitting. I guess I’m looking for straight or slightly a line?
the l girl character Natalie in the Minecraft movie was wearing what I’m looking for (can’t find a decent picture) but I don’t know what to search for!
any suggestions please?

My dd likes a skater style skirt

I just bought this from White Stuff after trying it on in an M&S - I would have dismissed it online but it’s really nice in person. They call it A line but it reads more straight on me.

Maren Mid Length Skirt in DARK TAN

Shop the Maren Mid Length Skirt in DARK TAN. This classic straight cut skirt has a slit at the front. Which makes it nice and easy to move in. (Dancing is encouraged, but not required.)

I don’t know why longer denim skirts hadn’t even crossed my mind but they both look like options.

I do try and buy exclusively 2nd hand where possible just to make things harder for myself so will get perusing Vinted!
