Look, January (not April, sorry poetry nerds!) really is the cruellest month.

It's cold, we no longer have Christmas to look forward to, and most of us are following the strict regimens of New Year's resolutions which demand that we cut down the booze, ditch the sugar, or finally tackle our codependent relationship with Netflix.

And that's before we get started on the perma-struggle which is finding something suitable to wear during this bleakest of months.

However, we're here to spread some positive news: we've found the silver bullet to all your January style struggles. Coming in at £45, Next has dropped a skirt that is the stuff of winter wardrobe dreams.

Made of 100% cotton, this machine washable midi skirt not only has a dropped waist (allowing you to continue adding a boho flair to your outfits, even in the depths of winter) but it's also corduroy: aka one of this season's trendiest, and most wearable, textures.

In case that wasn't enough, the skirt comes in two colourways: a dependable navy, as well as burgundy, the hugely trending shade of the season.

So here's some fashion maths. Drop waist + corduroy + burgundy = three trends in one!
