Skirts in winter

Hi all, I am getting tired of wearing the same old skinny jeans and boots in winter. But I have to admit they’re practical, and I can’t think of many alternatives.

Im slim, average height,,forties. My style is rural-ish (I wear dubarry boots, padded gilet’s....Blush with a bit of Toast (the brand) thrown in.

How to get rid of the skinnies and replace with skirts without looking like a prize penis in all of my other stuff? Black tights with brown boots???

I so confused.
I don’t drive either so need to wear water[roofs a lot and have this idea that if I ditch the jeans I’m gonna look mismatched and soaked.

Is this possible? Any ideas?
Thanks :)

TierraJ - love the sound of the skirts. I find them much easier to wear but need to get comfy with the idea of twinning them with waterproofs!

I could do with a knee length raincoat. I have a winter coat but not a good length mac.

I've got a coat like this from River Island, it's so warm!

Also fleece lined tights are good and my boots are fleece lined too.

I'm always super warm in winter!

Branster - I need to experiment with tights, love the sound of fine knit cable ones, especially in a dark charcoal colour. Have been trying my winter stuff on today (nearly passed out in the heat😁) and found a few shirt jackets that will work well. Thanks!

Small2018 - I think I tried that one on last winter? Insanely warm if same one. Lovely!
