Shoppers are rushing to snap up a 'chic and timeless' office skirt from Marks and Spencer that has been dramatically reduced in the retailer's post-Christmas sale.
A Versatile Winter Wardrobe Staple
The item in high demand is the M&S Micro Dogtooth Check Mini A-Line Skirt. Originally priced at £40, it is now available for just £20 – a full 50% discount. Described as 'gorgeous' by fans, the skirt features a subtle chocolate brown plaid pattern that is both unique and professional enough for the workplace when styled with a smart shirt.
Its versatility is a key selling point. The skirt can easily transition from a formal office setting to a casual weekend look. On the M&S website, it is modelled with a coordinating jacket and woolly tights, presenting an ideal outfit for winter shopping trips or lunches out.
Shopper Reviews Highlight Quality and Fit
Customer feedback for the skirt has been overwhelmingly positive, with many stating it was worth the full price. One five-star reviewer called it 'timeless and chic', praising the easy-to-style dark chocolate colour and soft material. Another highlighted its high quality, noting that it is fully lined – a detail that significantly enhances the garment's feel and drape.
However, a couple of practical notes have been raised by buyers. Some mentioned the skirt runs a little short and that the sizing is smaller than usual, suggesting customers may want to consider ordering a size up. The fabric's thickness also means it is recommended for hand washing or dry cleaning.
Complete the Look with Matching Sale Finds
While the exact matching blazer is no longer in stock, M&S offers other discounted pieces to create a coordinated outfit. The Checked Single Breasted Blazer has been reduced from £65 to £32.50, perfect for a polished office ensemble.
For a more relaxed or evening look, the Jersey Asymmetric Neck Top is down from £23 to £11.50. Reviewers have found this top to be 'flattering' and a piece that 'receives lots of compliments'.
For those concerned about the mini skirt's length for work, alternatives are available elsewhere. Next sells a knee-length Green/Black Check Brushed Pencil Skirt for £32, which has also garnered positive reviews for being easy to match.
The Marks and Spencer Boxing Day sale continues to offer significant discounts across its range, turning sought-after wardrobe staples into undeniable bargains.
