Marks and Spencer shoppers rush to buy 'so flattering' £40 autumn skirt with 'expensive' look
The Leather Look Midi A-Line Skirt has earned praise for its 'delicious' bitter chocolate colour, with shoppers describing it as 'beautifully soft' to wear
by Catherine Addison-Swan · ChronicleLiveMarks & Spencer shoppers have been rushing to buy a "fabulous" skirt that has been hailed as both a flattering and sophisticated fashion essential for welcoming the new season in style.
The Leather Look Midi A-Line Skirt has rocketed up the bestseller list after turning heads in M&S' latest TV advert showing off its autumn fashion collection. Priced at £39.50, the skirt comes in a bang on-trend 'bitter chocolate' shade perfect for pairing up with bright pops of colour for stepping out in style this autumn, with a flattering high waist and classic A-line shape ideal for day or night.
Also available in black or grey for £35, the skirt has earned only five-star reviews from M&S shoppers so far, with fans praising it as a "wonderful" wardrobe staple to see you through autumn and winter. Reviewers particularly loved its rich colour, which was branded "absolutely gorgeous", while its "really flattering" style also earned top marks.
One person praised in a five-star review: "This is a beautiful colour and buttery soft, not like other leather look items I've tried which have been stiff. Can't wait to wear."
Another M&S shopper said: "Looks like leather, feels like leather, a lovely chocolate brown colour. This skirt will become a classic and would suit all ages. A great purchase."
A third customer wrote: "Fits perfectly and is the right shade of chocolate brown. I'm impressed with the cut and the quality for the price."
And someone else raved: "Beautifully soft and great shape in a delicious deep chocolate colour. True to size."
To complete the look, a matching Faux Leather Top can also be found in the new M&S autumn collection with a price tag of £29.50. This stylish top has been praised as "amazing quality" by shoppers who loved its "classy colour" and said it looked "really expensive", although several reviewers recommended going a size up because their usual size was "too tight".
One reviewer said of the pairing: "I bought the set without seeing it in store and I love it! The length and material is perfect and a very flattering length and I did match it with the top. The colour is a deep chocolate - looks more expensive than it is. Very happy!"
The coordinated outfit can be finished off M&S' Faux Leather Puffy Baguette Bag in the burgundy shade - priced at £35, the bestselling bag also comes in black or eye-catching lime green. To get a similar look elsewhere on the high street, Next is offering a Red PU Faux Leather Glossy Column Skirt for £38, with a matching Faux Leather Zip Through Biker Jacket available for £72.
Another similar option when it comes to leather look skirts, which are set to be the must-have trend of the season, Debenhams has slashed the price of the Wallis Black Tab Detail Faux Leather A Line Skirt from £49 down to £39.20. Available in sizes eight to 22, this skirt has earned praise for its "perfect fit and style" in the reviews section.
