The Metallic Gold Pleated Midi Skirt from Marks and Spencer costs £46 and is expected to be a hit for those looking for the ultimate festive party outfit
Christmas party invitations and events have slowly started to creep into our inboxes, and such occasions deserve a show stopping outfit. As a fashion writer, it’s my job to hunt down the very best picks on the high street – and I’ve found one piece at Marks and Spencer that could be the skirt of the season.
I have a real love for festive partywear, be it from sequins to sparkles and metallics. It really is the most wonderful time of the year where you can go all-out with your outfits.
This year, the Metallic Gold Pleated Midi Skirt from Marks and Spencer is expected to catch attention for all the right reasons. At £46, it delivers high-impact glam without the hefty price tag, which is exactly why I’m expecting it to sell out.
Over the years, I’ve predicted a number of fast movers at M&S, whether it’s a summer bag , or versatile frock . This skirt is yet to appear on Marks and Spencer’s social media platforms, but I imagine that fashion fans will scramble for it the moment it does.
The skirt itself is cut in a regular fit falling to a flowing midi hem that lends itself nicely to being paired with knee boots, heels, flats or even trainers. The soft pleats are polished but playful, and the metallic finish catches the light in a way that’s bound to turn heads.
Metallic Gold Pleated Midi Skirt
Add a touch of glamour to your party look with this gleaming metallic gold skirt. It’s designed in a regular fit, with a flowing midi-length hem. The pleats bring subtle movement to the fabric, while a side zip fastening gives a neat finish.
One shopper described it perfectly in a review: “It’s a great length. Makes you feel confident and beautiful in wearing. Great with boots or high heels, ladies. The only downside is – go down in size. Then the pleats around the skirt will fall nicely and not give you big hips.”
Gold is a naturally warm tone, which makes it a great match for those with warm or neutral complexions. For cooler undertones, silver can be a better choice, and Boden’s Camilla Metallic Midi Skirt is a beautiful alternative. Originally priced at £150 and currently on sale for £60, it offers the same sharp accordion pleats and dancefloor-ready vibe.
Elsewhere, Roman is offering bronze and silver midi skirts for £40, which the brand has tipped as ‘the perfect choice for the Autumn/Winter season’. While lovely the black elastic waistband doesn’t look quite as premium as M&S or Boden’s versions.
Whichever shade wearers opt for, a pleated metallic skirt is one that can elevate even the simplest of outfits. Because the fabric is already a statement, keeping the rest of your look pared back ensures the skirt takes centre stage.
Either could be paired with a black jumper or cardigan and suede knee boots for a dazzling ensemble. For festive officewear, a crisp white shirt and ballet flats are a modern, wearable take. For evening, a silky camisole or a velvet blazer and strappy heels makes for the ultimate party look with some matching accessories.
