Black Watch skirt

Yes, I recommend this

Nice skirt as it’s a bit different. I ordered size 6 as it was only size available in the sale thinking it would probably be too small as I’m a size 8 but plenty big enough so it comes up big

Checked skirt

Yes, I recommend this

After reading numerous reviews stating the skirt sizing was rather tight, I opted to buy a size up from my usual. Wish I hadn't as it came up far to big.Tried to order my usual size online but always 'out of stock', . So disappointed as I loved it but will keep trying.

My new favourite go to piece of clothing

Yes, I recommend this

Having never been an M&S clothing fan I was pleasantly surprised to discover how much I love this skirt! Bought in two sizes - as everyone said it came up small on the reviews but I found the opposite was true. So normally a size 8, I found the size 6 a better fit. (Free returns policy a real bonus!) I haven’t washed it yet so hopefully it will look the same after being thrown into the machine, but so far so good....it’s definitely going to be my favourite, most worn item of the winter months! It hangs beautifully and the cut and shape is flattering not dowdy at all, despite a below the knee length which can sometimes make me look a bit like a librarian (no offence to librarians!). I simply love love love this skirt! I agree with criticism that it’s not a real kilt, and yes the buckles are plastic and not leather, but it just looks so lovely on that you can forgive all of those sins! Big clap to M&S for this gorgeous item! More like this please...!!!

Green Mix Checked Pleated Midi Skirt

Yes, I recommend this

Excellent quality and beautifully made. I have been looking to buy and wanting a tartan skirt for years. The colour in the Green Mix is superb. I am matching this with a couple of cashmere roll neck jumpers in Evergreen & black to include the same colours in cashmere button through cardigans. What a beautiful outfit(s) to see me through the cold weather.

Flattering skirt

Yes, I recommend this

I’m 5ft 3 and vary between a 14 and 16, so after reading other reviews ordered a size 16. The skirt is a little loose but I prefer it that way and a nice length mid calf. It hangs really well and is a good weight. The leatherette straps and buckles are a bit cheap but are not too noticeable. Not my usual style at all but I will be looking out for more skirts with this fit/flare style as it flatters my apple figure.

Green/Navy Kilt

Yes, I recommend this

My mum loved this. She has been waiting for M&S to reintroduce good quality classic style skirts. I got her 3 of these kilts and the sizing is inconsistent between the colours: She had a 12 in this navy/green one although the hip fit was a bit snug. In the black check, the 12 was way too small and the 14 too big so it had to go back. The red colourway was again way too small in the 12 but the 14 was fine.... the same size waist as the 12 navy/green but with a little more room on the hip just right. Nevertheless, she was so pleased to have found them that it was worth the hassle of trying all the sizes in all the colours! Some of your customers are very forgiving M&S!

Tartan Skirt

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely skirt. Heavy material and even though it's unlined it falls nicely. Tried the size 10 and it was too tight on the hips. The size 12 was far too big on the waist and hips. Had the black check one in a 10 and that was a perfect fit! Very disappointed as it's a really nice skirt. Been returned!

I wanted to love it

No, I don't recommend this

So so excited to get my hands on this skirt as it reminded me of my old school skirt. It was such a disappointment to find the cheap buckles and button actually weren't even functional and just there as decoration. Why bother putting on cheap embellishments that have no function? It just ruined it! I had to return the skirt as I couldn't stand the buckles and it just spoiled the whole look and feel. On top of that, the fit and length were a little off, I would have had it tailored but if it wasn't for the added annoyance of the embellishments I would have kept it.

Great Plaid skirt, should be lined.

Yes, I recommend this

Unfortunately l had to return the size 12 which is my usual size when shopping at M&S. The waist is definitely coming up a tad smaller than usual, need the next size up for the pleats to lay properly. Sadly the 14’s are now out of stock or l would have swopped it. At £49.50 when not on offer it really should be lined.

Kilt-like skirt

No, I don't recommend this

Marks & Spencer - I was extremely disappointed with this skirt. The appearance looked good, the material was a good quality and price-wise, was a bit pricey but bought it when there was 20% off, so made it more appealing. Normally I wear a size 12 but, having read other reviews that it would be prudent to order the next size up, I ordered a size 14. Even the size 14 was a bit tight. However, the overall finish of this garment was very poor with the pleats (for some reason) not all facing in the same direction. Between the side seam and the buckle pleat at the front, the pleats were reversed. One pleat was so badly stitched (at the front) that the whole garment hung askew. So disappointed and the skirt went back.

Great Kilt

Yes, I recommend this

I wasn't sure whether to keep this skirt. I was disappointed that it didn't have the traditional kilt adjustable fitting. I have bought size 16 trousers and skirts recently, but this size 18 only just fits. It needs to be worn with a slip as the wool is very scratchy. It is good quality and is the kind of item that will last a long time, so I decided to keep it.

Missing pleat

No, I don't recommend this

This skirt has a zip at the side seam and there is no pleat on this side. The lack of a pleat spoils the way the skirt hangs. The skirt is also larger than other M&S skirts on the waist. I returned the skirt

And another fashion buy!

Yes, I recommend this

For the first time in years I have bought several items from Marks this year. I feel that Marks really are starting to listen to what people want. So this skirt is very on trend although it could be classic too. Similar skirts are available at top fashion stores however this is far better quality than most. Very happy with my purchase. Will be wearing this with ankle boots and an oversized knit. Very cosy!

Yes, I recommend this

This skirt is lovely quality, heavy matterial hangs beautifully. I bought my usual size but had to change it for the next size up as the skirt was very small. Once I had the right size, brilliant.

Trendy kilt

Yes, I recommend this

Great modern take on the kilt. Always liked a bit of Black Watch tartan..such a classy tartan. It fits well and I would say true to size. Not sure if pleats will stay in as I haven't put them to the test yet. The overall quality is good but perhaps leather buckles would have have made the quality great.
