While I’ve been wearing my jeans and trousers on repeat over the past few months, the announcement of a heatwave has made me reconsider my wardrobe choices. And with temperatures set to reach some of the highest we’ve seen so far this year, I’d say it’s high time to reintroduce some 100% linen into your wardrobe.
The catch? Pure linen pieces tend to come with a rather hefty price tag. It makes sense, of course, genuinely good-quality linen staples take careful craftsmanship to create. Yet, sometimes it’s hard to justify the hit to your bank account. The solution? Next - who, as part of their premium collection, stocks a stylish 100% linen skirt, proving that affordable, good quality summer clothing doesn’t have to completely bankrupt you.
Designed with heatwave dressing in mind, the 100% linen column skirt is the perfect answer to warm-weather styling on a budget. Incredibly lightweight and breathable, the skirt is especially cooling, making it ideal for the 25+ degree temperatures set to hit the UK next week.
Available in a rich rust-brown hue, it might not be the most eye-catching and bold piece you’ll add to your heatwave wardrobe, but it’s certainly one of the most practical and breathable staples you’ll own this summer.
An added bonus? It comes with an elasticated waistband, making it especially comfortable for off-duty wear. Pair it with an airy cotton tee or a matching linen top for optimal protection against high temperatures, then finish the look with a pair of M&S sandals for chic bank holiday dressing.
