You pull it on over tights on a cold morning and the ribbed knit falls into soft vertical pleats that swing when you walk.

This is the skirt for the weeks when trousers feel like too much effort and you still want to look put together. The high waist sits above the hip and the A line hem opens into a gentle swing, so it moves with you from the desk to the school run to dinner without a single crease to manage.

The fabric is a soft ribbed knit that the maker lists as 95 percent wool, warm against the leg and matte rather than shiny. The waist has a light micro elastic give so it settles without digging in, and the vertical rib runs the full length into a mid calf midi hem. It comes in dark camel, milk camel, dark gray and black, in sizes S through XXL.

Why It Works

A knit midi lives in the gap between a stiff tailored skirt and leggings. The wool holds its shape and warmth while the rib and swing keep it soft and easy, so it reads as dressed without asking anything of you. The maker also describes it as reversible, wearable front or back for a slightly different line.

How It Fits Your Routine

For work, tuck in a fine knit and add ankle boots. The high waist keeps the line long under a tucked top.

On weekends, layer an oversized sweater over the waist and switch to flats or trainers; the swing hem keeps it relaxed.

Wool knits prefer a cool gentle wash or hand wash and drying flat, which keeps the rib and shape intact.
