As much as I love swishing around in a floaty midi skirts throughout the warmer months of the year, there’s always that inevitable point in autumn when practicality takes charge. The thought of braving a chilly morning commute in lightweight cotton suddenly feels far less appealing, and more freezing.
Thankfully, there’s one fabric come autumn that solves this dilemma every single year, and that’s corduroy. Soft, very insulating and timeless, it’s the cosy choice that allows you to keep wearing skirts even after the mercury begins to drop, thanks to its plush texture.
So, it was no surprise why I was ridiculously excited to spot a Corduroy Midi Skirt at Next, which is already proving popular with fashionable women. Featuring a flattering A-line silhouette and versatile midi length, the skirt is proof that the ‘70s style can be given a fresh, contemporary makeover for 2026.

Smart enough for the office, yet relaxed enough for weekend plans, it’s one of those wardrobe staples you’ll reach for time and time again.
One of the best things about this corduroy staple is the way it instantly adds texture to your outfit – a key factor when it comes to looking fashionable. It lends itself well with autumn’s other hero fabrics, from soft cashmere (affordable versions do exist!) and chunky wool knits as well as buttery suede and leather accessories.

I’d recommend wearing this midi skirt with a fine knit and sleek black loafers now, before swapping them for knee high boots and a cosy oversized jumper once winter arrives.
The black version is (unsurprisingly) almost completely sold out, proving its popularity. And, judging by how quickly it sold out, I don’t imagine the khaki version will stay in stock for much longer.
