Midi skirts have become one of our go-to wardrobe staples this year.

They're stylish. They're super flattering. They're also a great alternative when we're absolutely sick to death of wearing tights (or when you're not quite ready to break the tights out yet). Which makes them the perfect piece to carry our wardrobe through the seasons. From Topshop to New Look, many retailers have already released their own take on the trend - and we've fallen in love with this one from M&S. The velvet polka dot jersey slip midi skirt ticks so many boxes for us - and, honestly, it looks so much more expensive than its €42 price tag. We reckon you could pair it with a tee, a biker jacket and a pair of trainers for a comfy (but stylish) weekend look. Or maybe with a comfy knit, a camisole and a cute pair of ankle boots for heading into the office - there are so many possibilities. And, in good news for the weeks ahead, it is perfect for party season - and has gone straight to the top of our #inspo list for Christmas party outfits. "Feel party-ready in an instant in this eye-catching polka dot skirt," the retailer said of the piece. "[The] midi length and elasticated waist create a figure-flattering silhouette."
