I bought two "tulip" skirts from a boutique in October and have barely taken them off, along with some wide-legged trousers they are the backbone of my winter work wardrobe (tip: don't wear WLTs on a windy day as the extra fabric around the legs forms a sail and propels you into busy roads, down hills at top speed, etc. Cringe).
Both are made of woolly, tweedy fabrics in my favourite colour, grey, and have a central pleat that is then reattached along the seam to form the tulip shape (hope this makes sense) and one has cute pockets on the hip so when I put my hands in them the tailoring is emphasised. They are really very wearable and not at all fashion mad; I guess just try them and see whether you like! Both end about two inches above the top of my kneecap.
One is from Great Plains and one is from Nougat, I expect they might still be in stock (or in the sales!)
I wear them with black opaque tights, sometimes footless ones if it's not too freezing then usually heels but flats now and then.
The only thing is that they're quite high-waisted and have waist detail so you need to wear a relatively short top with them. A little shirt with a tank top over it seems to work (everyone is probably laughing at my horrendous outfit now!!!)
Try the tulip skirt with opaque tights, I bet you love it. You could wear boots with it for extra warmth too. Enjoy. xx
