I Wear This M&S Skirt Nearly Every Day In Summer - And I Just Bought Two More
Few wardrobe staples nail Côte d'Azur style quite like a poplin midi skirt. While nautical stripes and breezy linens have long defined effortless summer style, there's a fresh elegance in swapping them out for a crisp cotton poplin skirt that elevates your look with minimal effort. Enter the Pure Cotton Poplin A-line Skirt from M&S - a breezy, flattering essential that transitions seamlessly from laid-back mornings to stylish afternoons.
Known for its airy and slightly buoyant design, M&S's poplin skirt blends effortless wearability with polished charm. Made entirely from pure cotton, you needn't worry about overheating when this midi is in your rotation, thanks to its cool, breathable fabric. A clever choice, we'd say, especially with stifling tube rides and sun-drenched park picnics on the horizon - just possibly avoid sitting directly on the grass if you're hoping to dodge the dreaded green stains. 1.
M&S, Pure Cotton Poplin A-line Skirt
Of course, it's no surprise that this skirt style is trending - especially with its recent runway endorsement. For their spring 2025 collections, both Miu Miu and Jacquemus gave poplin skirts a thumbs-up, with the former championing knee-length styles and the latter embracing flowing, ankle-grazing versions with a whimsical twist.
When it comes to styling, your options are truly limitless - the M&S skirt acts as a blank canvas, ready to be worn with anything you own, in any print and colourway. Think cute printed baby tees worn by the likes of Bella Hadid, or Savile-Row style pinstripe waistcoats for a touch of sophistication. For date night, when dressing up for the occasion is a must, pair the skirt with a black bandeau top and a pair of kitten heels, not forgetting accessories.
Shop now, before like the black version, it completely sells out.

The Loose Women star, 65, whipped up the dish after a 'very long' Pilates session this week - the recipe is very straight-forward Ruth Langsford has shared a quick salad recipe with fans that's ideal for a simple lunch. The 65-year-old Loose Women star mentioned that she made it after a 'very long' Pilates session this week, showcasing the dish on Instagram. "Quick, lunch for one," she wrote. "Did Pilates this morning with @siobhanklloyd after a VERY long time so I thought I'd better follow up with a healthy lunch!" If you're eager to try Ruth's recipe, here are the eight essential ingredients she used. One portion Lettuce Chopped cucumber Avocado slices M&S Seafood Sauce Cooked prawns A small volume of milk A sprinkle of black pepper A sprinkle of paprika Article continues below To kickstart her recipe, Ruth first chopped her ingredients off-camera before throwing the lettuce, chopped cucumber and lettuce into a dish. She then placed her cooked prawns in a separate bowl before coating them in a generous spoonful of the M&S Seafood sauce. Once thoroughly mixed together, she popped the prawns on top of the salad in her serving dish. However, she then realised that a little more dressing was needed. In light of this, she blended more of the seafood sauce with a tiny splash of milk in another separate bowl. She said this helped to loosen the dressing, which she subsequently drizzled over the salad. As a final touch, paprika and black pepper were sprinkled on top. Ruth added: " battery-operated pepper mill has a light!!!" The TV star's recipe was quickly showered by comments from fans, with many complementing her straight-forward but delicious-seeming recipe. One person wrote: "Love this Ruth. Looks delicious and healthy." Another person added: "Looks lovely Ruth . Great tasty lunch," while someone else said: "I need that now please."

A pull-out sofa bed, where my dad and brother slept, my mom and me in the bed…' Detailing how her and Trent coped at the time, she said: 'My brother and I tried to make the best of it - we would joke around and say we were in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. 'We'd run around the different hallways and find stairwells and make friends with all the staff and they would make us grilled cheese.' In a far cry from her beginnings Sydney now boasts an incredible property portfolio after finding her own financial success thanks to her movie and TV work. She owns a £4.5million Bel Air home and another Tudor-style home in LA that is worth £3.3million.
