If you're on the hunt for the crowning glory of your summer wardrobe, then look no further than Alex Jones' latest fashion discovery. The presenter donned the Verity Linen Midi Skirt from Boden on The One Show on Monday night (June 23), and it ticks all the boxes we're seeking in holiday attire.
From its vibrant tropical print to its airy linen fabric and flowing fit, it's truly the ideal choice for a holiday or even just coping with the UK heatwave at home. Now, we have some good news for you, as it's currently part of Boden's massive summer sale. Normally priced at £130, it's now been slashed to £91, saving you nearly £40.
Although it's available in seven different prints and patterns, it's Alex's tropical print version that's really grabbed our attention. The bold colours and fun pattern scream summer, with everything from bananas and pineapples to crabs and lobsters emblazoned on the midi skirt in bright summer hues.
In an Instagram story, the Welsh presenter described the Boden skirt as fun, before sharing her outfit of the day mirror selfie and heading to the One Show's sofa. You can watch the episode here to see Mrs Jones Thomson's skirt in action.

The Verity Linen Midi Skirt is designed to sit at your natural waist for a flattering fit, with pleated details which then flare out into a floaty A-line shape with plenty of volume. There's nothing worse than tight, form-fitting clothing in the heat, which is why there's a hidden elasticated waistband at the back to ensure you have room for indulgent dinner you've been craving.
The brand have said that it was "made for your next trip to the coast". Made from 80% linen and 20% recycled linen, this fabric is the ideal breezy choice to stay cool even on scorching hot and humid days. It also boasts two handy side pockets, finally ladies, we get pockets!

They have range of sizes from a 4 to a 22, as well as petite, regular or long options. Reviews of the product are very mixed as some mention that the product runs quite small and that you bear this in mind when ordering and potentially you should size up.
One person said: "It is a very good quality fabric and perfect for summer. Unfortunately 10P was like 8P and too tight on the waist, would return and get 12P. The length is perfect."
However another person said: "Love this beautiful summer skirt. Love that it has the elastic waist band and pockets. Lovely pattern and lots of colours that you can wear lots of different colour tops with. Can't wait to wear it on my cruise.
Another said: "I love the cut and material of this skirt. I just ordered another one in navy colours. "
However they added: "To make this product even better I would like to see it in other patterns, more muted. Most of the patterns and colours from this brand are too bright for my taste.
You can find more muted skirt options like this M&S Ecru denim skirt for £45 that "fits like a glove according to one reviewer.
Although, if you are a fan of the colourful skirt trend, you may like this coral pink and orange striped cotton maxi from Next for £40.
There is also this beachy shell print Nobody's Child maxi skirt for £75 which will be perfect for the Summer. The brand currently have a deal on for new customers, who will get an additional 15% off using the code HELLO15, which would make the skirt £63.75, saving you £11.25.

However, if you're keen to acquire the Verity Linen Midi Skirt, you'd best act swiftly, particularly if you're after the exact pattern sported by the Welsh icon. According to Boden's website, the skirt is "selling like hot cakes" and select sizes are beginning to sell out, which may have been due to Alex's televised seal of approval.
