Every year when the temperature heats up, we find ourselves frantically searching our capsule wardrobes for pieces that will see us through the summer. Enter - the maxi skirt.

When it comes to dressing for hot weather, a floaty, lightweight maxi skirt is a must-have. They look great paired with everything from chic puff sleeved tops to oversized shirts, and are a great piece to take you from day-to-night with a quick change of shoes.

Just in time for the summer days ahead, we spotted a stylish new Marks & Spencer Per Una Floral Maxi Skirt on the retailer's Instagram and instantly knew it was missing from our wardrobes.

A transitional piece in the making, the Per Una skirt will see you through the summer paired with your go-to trainers, chunky sandals or espadrilles. And, it will remain an essential in your wardrobe come autumn, teamed with knee-high boots, Breton jumpers and chunky knits.

In the photograph of fashion influencer Sammy Duder (aka @theturquoiseflamingo) on the M&S Instagram page, we see the dreamy skirt in action with its navy all over floral print and deep V-shaped waist for the ultimate swishy effect. Sammy teamed the maxi with another Per Una buy - the ultra cool Floral Reversible Quilted Blazer (which is another piece we're adding to our wish lists...)

Quilted jackets are still very much in this season, and we love the contrast of the geometric pattern on one side, and the dainty floral print on the other. Another piece you can wear now, when the wind picks up on beach trips or it gets chilly in the city at night, and still wear come autumn.

The Floral Maxi skirt costs just £39.50 and is also available in a red geometric print and a light pink geometric print. Plus, there's two length options (short/petite and regular) and it's available in sizes 6 to 24 - although it's already sold out in a few sizes online, so it's worth snapping up this skirt fast.

The Floral Reversible Quilted Blazer is also available in sizes 6 to 24 online and costs £49.50. It's already had quite a few raving reviews on the retailer's website, with shoppers predicting it will be a wardrobe staple come autumn/winter, too.
