This skirt keeps popping up on my feed and I am in two minds about whether it's very cool or too much like a quality street wrapper.

Its pretty awful.

Get it! I think it's fab.

I don't like the colour, too yellowly

The styling makes it look awful and very “catalogue”. M&S is generally pretty dreadful at styling though so I guess it’s to be expected.

So true

It's fine if you can carry it off. Don't wear a black top with it though!

No.

Is it an every day skirt? No, but it would be if it was silver. However, the gold makes it a perfect skirt for the festive season and metallic foil skirts such as this appear most winters, and for the past few decades at that! It's very much a classic style. Be aware that this kind of pleated skirt does not look great on everyone, so it is worth trying if only to see if it counts itself out.

The main issue is that it is badly styled, the black looks heavy and cheapens the skirt. This is my main concern about such a yellow-based gold. Whites, creams and neutrals will work better, ditto blue denim and chambray.

I think it’s the kind of skirt that could look pretty good worn on someone young, with that kind of ironic, mock-old-but-actually-young-and-edgy styling.

I think on anyone aged 30+ it just looks a bit safe and middle of the road. The sort of thing someone older might pick when they’re trying hard not to look boring or old-fashioned (and I say this as a 50 yr old woman myself!)

Sorry to those of you who love it 🫣🫣 I’m sure you’d hate my favourites equally 😂

I think it came look good at any age IF you havent got large hips. You can dress it up or down.

I absolutely love this skirt but sadly this style my my hips look like shelves!
