Spring has officially sprung, and with it comes the perfect opportunity for a little retail therapy. High street favourites like Marks and Spencer, H&M, and Next have all unveiled their fresh spring collections. One piece that’s really caught our attention is Next’s Drop Waist Midi Skirt, priced at £35. The drop waist trend was huge last summer, and it’s set to continue into 2025. This lightweight midi skirt, available in crisp white or deep navy blue, is a flattering addition to any wardrobe. It features a side zip, pure cotton outer, and comfortable lining, making it a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Concerned about the white version being see-through? Don’t worry, the lining ensures full coverage, reports the Mirror.

The beauty of this skirt lies in its versatility. For a chic office look, pair the midi with a tucked-in white shirt and woven ballet flats. Alternatively, team it with chunky sandals and a Breton striped tee for a relaxed weekend outfit. Currently, the skirt is available in sizes 6 – 26, including a tall version. We suggest trying the taller version even if you’re on the shorter side, for a maxi skirt vibe rather than a midi. If you’re jetting off on a sunny getaway, this lightweight skirt is a suitcase essential. It’s easy to roll up and pack without hogging all your luggage space. With drop waists being all the rage, many other brands are offering similar styles. The Nobody’s Child Black Drop Waist Shirred Midi Skirt, priced at £65, boasts a flattering shirred waist and would pair beautifully with some raffia accessories for that perfect summer look. Another fab option is Anthropologie’s Hutch Drop-Waist Midi Skirt, retailing at £148. Its blue check pattern makes it an ideal pick for those springtime vibes.
