Buy me: NEXT SKIRT

The abundance of florals on the catwalk denotes this as a trend to be reckoned with. Those clever people at Next are there with the print, and with a length that is flattering at a price that's right for those not seduced by labels. This is one of those crossover garments ideal for bridging the gap between winter and spring: breezy enough to be worn with a tiny top on a sunny afternoon or, teamed with a big jumper and tights, wholesome enough for cold evenings.

The skirt pictured here is part of the new collection from the Next Directory and, at £26.99, is a snip. It comes in black and buttermilk floral, has a wrap front and a tie waist, which means it caters for a good range of sizes. The soft, floaty fabric is 100 per cent viscose, and adds to the garment's flirty, feminine feel.
