This denim maxi skirt is sure to be a wardrobe staple during the summer season.
Jeans are a trusty wardrobe staple no matter the season. However, with it being warm outside, many of us want to wear something a bit breezier.
This is why M&S shoppers have been packing theirs away during the warmer weather to instead wear the £45 Denim Maxi Skirt that they have branded as "massively flattering" - and it's already proving popular online.
Already being snapped up by multiple shoppers, this maxi-length skirt offers that minimalist design we all crave in summer, as it can be paired with everything from chunky trainers and a jumper to a cute tee and sandals.
Falling to a trendy maxi-length, it has been crafted from a pure cotton material with a touch of stretch to ensure the fit is not restrictive. The panelled design provides a voluminous feel, with some shoppers saying it is "very flattering" on their figure.
Finished with a size zip for a practical touch, this £45 skirt is available to buy online in two colours - medium indigo and cream.

A similar shopper echoed: "Love it! It is a great alternative to wearing jeans if you not feeling them. Chic enough for posh top jewellery look."
One shopper said in a lengthier review: "The cut of the skirt is massively flattering and really slims hips and bum…. The gentle flaring towards the bottom of the skirt would suit most body types and really creates a no fuss silhouette. This skirt is one of those clothing items that will be a staple for years as it is timeless."
A few shoppers have found the material of the denim to be on the heavier side for them, with one leaving a three-star review that read: "The skirt looked lovely but it was a very stiff fabric and did not suit me- I'm sorry I had to return it."
