Which colour skirt?

I struggle with confidence with choosing clothes…so I am asking for some advice: what are your thoughts about this skirt and if positive thoughts on it which should I choose - white or yellow? It’s for a holiday initially but also general wear afterwards. Thank you

The yellow is quite creamy looking rather than a vibrant vivid yellow so a lot of colours would go ok with it, so personally I would go for that one rather than the white one.

onehorserace · 16/07/2025 00:17

I prefer the white. It's like 1976 all over again 😊

beetr00 · 16/07/2025 00:33

think the white would be more versatile @aracena

just a caution, did you notice that the lining is 100% polyester, so it may not be as cool/wafty as you hope.

Eggybreadwithnuts · 16/07/2025 00:40

It's lovely. Yellow for certain.

aracena · 16/07/2025 06:58

Ok - thank you all! Maybe I’ll order both and see which I prefer on!

Definitely have the white one. The skirt isn't lines only the pockets are lined with polyester.

PoppySeedBagelRedux · 16/07/2025 08:09

I saw them in person in Uniqlo yesterday. They seemed good quality for the price.

The skirt is lined. You can see it in some of the photos. Also, the description says so.

Doggymummar · 16/07/2025 08:36

The lining is cotton. Pockets are polyester lined. That's how I read it anyhow

Shell: 100% Cotton/ Lining: Pocket Lining: 100% Polyester

BusterGonad · 16/07/2025 09:12

I think the yellow looks lovely.

CurlyTop1980 · 16/07/2025 09:50

I tried this shirt on yesterday. Lovely, I bought a dress instead. White is a good option.

TeamKneeLength · 16/07/2025 09:56

Yellow if you'll only wear it with pastel colours, otherwise white.

Daftypants · 16/07/2025 09:57

I like that , it’s really nice , I’d get both then see what looks best with all your tops at home .
My preference would be white ..BUT if I got one I’d have to get it in the black 🤣 white wouldn’t stay white for long in my house .

WellWoman · 16/07/2025 10:30

I have this skirt in a khaki green colour, it's given me many years of good service for holidays. Packs brilliantly, it will not crease, hangs well and is very comfortable. Of the two colours you're considering I'd go for the pale yellow as you can still wear white tops with it without looking too matchy-matchy, and it would also go well with deeper blues and other strong colours. Would be a great holiday buy.

Cantonet · 16/07/2025 10:35

I've got the white & yes it does have a polyester lining. The skirt hangs really well & the white goes with lots of other shades. Lemon is very much a colour of the moment & will probably not be in next year. Plus the colour would be limiting. Whereas a white skirt is forever popular.

Aixellency · 16/07/2025 10:41

I like the brown best! The yellow is too ‘colour of the week’ and might be annoying by September. The white is ok but would be better in a starchier cotton. The black only works if you intend to take only neutral coloured tops.

BreatheAndFocus · 16/07/2025 10:51

Yellow, for sure! It’s a lovely shade of yellow and very pretty whereas the white is boring, clinical and will be sure to get grubby the first time you wear it.

Arrivederla · 16/07/2025 11:12

As others have said, yellow is very much the colour of the moment, and will probably be completely out of fashion next summer! If you go for the white it'll be pretty timeless.

DramaAlpaca · 16/07/2025 11:57

I ordered the yellow one the other day and it's on its way to me. I think it's so pretty and I don't mind that it's this summer's 'in' colour.

I already have a similar white skirt, so the yellow was an easy choice.

Flamingoknees · 16/07/2025 12:49

Black for me, white for you

fudgesmummy · 16/07/2025 14:33

If you find you like the fit and style when you try it on I would buy both the white and the black.
Both those colours would go with all the tops in my wardrobe!
Not so keen on the yellow myself as it’s not a colour I would tend to wear 🙂

BB49 · 16/07/2025 15:02

What colour tops would that yellow go with?

ladygindiva · 16/07/2025 15:15

I'd be buying the yellow and the brown. Id steer clear of the white, I'm incapable of staying clean

Poodlelove · 16/07/2025 17:35

I personally like a darker colour for a skirt , but I think you would be better choosing white if you want lighter and I would pair it with a black fitted top.

What colour tops would that yellow go with?

I have some linen shorts in this colour, they look great with black, white or most shades of blue.
