Can you help me find a basic flared work skirt please?

I used to own a couple of skirts from Boden - plain knee length flared. Somewhere between a-line and 50s flare. Not too short but not midi which doesn't suit me.
They were wool and hung really nicely.

I've been looking but cannot find anything similar. I attach a photo of something the right sort of shape.

Needs to be good quality as for work but not a big budget, ideally within £70.

Well - you won’t find pure wool, new, for less than £70. (Though I haven’t looked at M&S, which might have something.)

Cos has this, which is 100% wool, for £95:

Masimo Dutti has a couple - mixed fabrics including wool - for a similar price, which you could have shortened to suit you. Photos below.

Those aren’t flared though - they’re almost straight / are straight. My tall and willowy stepmum and teenage sister can pull these off but I don’t think they suit most people.

Thanks but not flared enough.
Yes, you might well be right that my budget is unreasonable.
The Cos skirt is nice but not smart in the right way for work. Thank you though.

That is nice thank you and maybe I need to try another fabric. I probably need a plain colour though.

Have you tried eBay/Vinted? I’ve got a few classic pieces like that from eBay before- including an unworn Hobbs skirt for under £10. Might be worth a look if you know your size.
