CARRIE | BRIGHT BLUE

Skirts

$200as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Ted Baker

The verdict

A bright blue linen midi at $200; excellent pick if linen's relaxed structure suits your style and you value breathable fabrics.

Fit

Linen pieces have inherent drape and movement; expect a less structured, easier fit than cotton. Linen skirts wrinkle by design; if you embrace that aesthetic, this fits naturally.

Quality

Ted Baker's linen is typically medium-weight; clean finishes and neat seams are standard. Linen holds color reasonably well and grows softer with washing, making it durable for warm-weather wear.

Price check

At $200 for a linen midi from a recognized brand, the price is reasonable for the fabric quality and design. Linen justifies premium pricing better than cotton blends do.

Best for

Warm-weather dressers who appreciate natural linen's breathability and relaxed-yet-polished aesthetic, and don't mind visible creasing.

Care

Linen wrinkles easily; expect to iron or steam. Wash in cool water and hang dry to preserve drape and avoid shrinking.

Varies by line

Ted Baker's menswear tops run small and slim — owners consistently size up — while women's numbered pieces skew generous, with bottoms the most likely to run big.

Owners agree the menswear shirts and polos cut slim and small: forum posters call the shirts "on the small side and quite a slim waist," and a golf reviewer who normally wears a medium found a Ted Baker large (size 4) "perfect." The women's side is less uniform: one long-term buyer says the numbered sizing is "on the generous side" (a 3 wearing like a UK 12/14), while forum threads split — tops reported small, trousers and skirts reported big, jackets and dresses roughly true to size. The brand's own 0–7 numeric scales add friction, so checking the per-item conversion chart matters more here than with most brands.

Sizing advice: Size up one in men's shirts, polos, and tees (the cut is slim and small); on women's pieces stay true to size for dresses and jackets but consider a size down in trousers, skirts, and knits.

What owners report about Ted Baker skirts

Skirt-specific coverage is modest but consistent: rental-platform reviewers rate one of the brand's leather skirts 4.5 of 5 across 39 reviews, with most calling it true to size while about a third say it runs large, particularly in the waist. The few retail owner reviews of the pleated midi styles are positive about color and occasion versatility. Forum discussion of the wider line holds that the clothing is more design-led than good value — worth it when the fit is right, but overpriced at full retail, with the standing advice to buy on sale.

Strengths: Owners consistently praise the distinctive prints and occasion-ready designs, and rate the skirts highly when the fit works.
Watch out for: Fit skews roomy on some cuts — a third of renters of one skirt reported it ran big in the waist — and forum posters call the line overpriced at regular price.
Sizing: Most owners report true to size, but enough report waists running large that trying a size down on wrap and high-waisted cuts is a reasonable hedge.
