I absolutely love a poplin skirt, especially when it’s hot outside. Light, airy, and easy to throw on and go, they look great with a plethora of wardrobe staples, from cropped polo tops for a boyish touch to a black scoop neck vest top for chic, Parisian charm.
So, you can imagine how happy I was when I found out that my favourite skirt style comes with yet another of my favourite details, and that's a drop waist. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi they add to a piece, even if their subtlety means they can sometimes go unnoticed.
And, if you’re as partial to the silhouette as I am, Next has a particularly lovely one for just £38, proof that you don’t have to spend a fortune to wear the trend.
Next White Cotton Poplin Drop Waist Midi Skirt
It's heatwave wearability is solidified by its 100% cotton poplin construction, the ultimate airy solution to staying cool and chic during the hottest time of the year. Loose and breezy, it'll promote a cool draft and prevent you from breaking out in an unbearable sweat - though, if you're wearing the midi on the tube, we're sorry to say that perspiration may be inevitable.
As with any skirt, this style comes with my favourite practical feature - a zip up waistband. Of course, you might be wondering what’s so great about that, but for me, it’s all about making getting dressed that little bit easier. There’s no fiddling with buttons or awkward fastenings when you’re rushing out the door, just zip it up and you’re good to go.
