It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I love a good skirt. Mini, midi, or maxi, they're reliable wardrobe staples that are versatile and always look effortlessly polished. And in typical fashion, with cold, rainy then sunny days here in the UK, now is the perfect time to invest in a transitional skirt style and I've found the ultimate one on the high street.
Enter the Lowen Midi Skirt (£60) from Free People. I spotted this style on my fellowBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editor, Annie Wheatland-Clinch, as well as a slew of Instagram fashion people, and knew I had to try it for myself.
Who What Wear Uk's assistant social media editor, Annie Wheatland-Clinch wears Free People's Lowen midi skirt in 'Ivory'.
Available in sizes XS-XL (the equivalent of a UK 0 -18, although I'd note that many reviews say it runs large) and 15 (yes, 15) different colours, this skirt ticks more boxes than I had previously considered. With its chic a-line silhouette and subtle pleating, it's the kind of skirt that will elevate even the most basic of top-and-shoe combos.

The fabric composition is also not to be missed. Made from 100% cotton, the Lowen skirt is lightweight, breathable and ideal for the in between weather we'll experience over the next few months. As a natural fibre, this skirt is not only biodegradable but durable so that it lasts in your wardrobe for a significantly longer time than synthetic fabrics.
And the price? At £60 I admit, you could find more affordable options on the high street but, for an item that you'll wear from spring and well into early autumn for many years to come, as well as more premium fabrications, I personally think it's worth it. For the upcoming season, I'd personally style it with a crisp Oxford shirt and loafers for the office and then swap these out for a satin cami and strappy kitten-heel sandals for evening drinks.
