10 Amazon Fall Midi Skirts That Look Designer

As someone who loves luxury labels, I consider myself to have an eye for what sets these pieces apart: classic cuts, polished buttons, and fabrics that drape with unmistakable sophistication. My passion for luxury has fostered a hobby for vintage shopping wherever I explore as a travel writer, unearthing finds from charming thrift shops or consignment boutiques. 

But even the best secondhand shops aren’t stocked with amazing luxury labels all the time. When I’m seeking a specific statement piece or ensemble to pack for a trip, I sometimes take a peek at Amazon. The retailer has surprised me before with a selection of affordable yet luxurious-looking styles, like these fall sweaters that could pass for designer. 

The item on my must-find list right now is a midi skirt, the perfect addition to any fall travel capsule wardrobe. These skirts look great for travelers wanting to add a bit of luxury-inspired style without the runway price tag. Below, I’ve curated 10 midi skirts from Amazon that are versatile and affordable,  while having an essence of designer appeal. From the softness of suede to the comfort of woven knits, these pieces not only elevate your travel wardrobe but also capture a luxurious look on a budget — starting as low as $13. 

Corduroy Button Front A-line Midi Skirt

This high-waisted A-line corduroy midi skirt feels like autumn. This one features a snap front and the cozy texture of corduroy. With a similar silhouette and fabric as this Louis Vuitton style, this skirt adds luxe to your look without the multi-figure tag.

Suede Midi Skirt

A classic A-line skirt is eternally flattering. This faux suede skirt on Amazon mimics this made-in-Italy designer one. One Amazon shopper said the elastic waist made this easy to put on without finicky buttons, praising the quality and midi length.“And this is washable suede so you don’t have to worry about putting it in the washing machine and dryer,” they also noted.

Stretch Knit Midi Skirt 

A soft, flexible knit skirt is a great choice for days on the road or in the air, but even better for including in a travel capsule wardrobe. Simple and elegant, this knit skirt shares the same pencil silhouette as this $1,180 designer one. The slim skirt’s side slit helps with mobility if you’re climbing stairs or hopping in and out of cars. Reviewers repeatedly say the skirt has the perfect amount of stretch. Available in four colors, the skirt’s two shades of brown (mocha and coffee) are neutral colors that blend well with a fall wardrobe.

Plaid Wool Midi Skirt

A plaid wool midi skirt is great as a transition piece from fall to winter. Ideal for colder destinations, this skirt has a tartan design that is reminiscent of the equestrian style and appeal of this Ralph Lauren skirt. Pair it with tights, riding boots, and a chunky knit sweater for a warm outfit ready for travels to Ireland or Scotland. 

Leather Look Midi Skirt 

It’s hard to find a leather skirt on a budget, but this faux leather option comes close to resembling the designer Altazurra skirt that retails for over $1,000. With over 800 reviews, this Amazon skirt is loved by shoppers for its fit and comfort. One reviewer claimed it’s the “perfect fall skirt,” saying it’s “[flattering] to full figure,” thanks to the flowy, not stiff, fabric.

Denim Midi Skirt

If you thought denim was just for Western wear, think again. Celebrities like Selma Hayak love a denim skirt, and the style is just as versatile in a traveler’s wardrobe as your most comfortable pair of jeans. The dark blue unwashed hue can be dressed up or down, and most closely resembles this designer denim skirt by Magda Butrym. You could pair this Amazon midi with white sneakers and a soft cashmere sweater, or layer on your favorite cardigan or jacket — a denim skirt goes with anything.

Wool Midi Skirt

This wool blend skirt on Amazon is genuinely warm, reviewers say, and “perfect for winter” due to the quality and softness of the material. An A-line wool circle skirt is a nostalgic travel look, in keeping with Lena Hoschek’s handmade European clothes that are like wearable homages to old-world travel. This piece wouldn’t feel out of place on a luxury train journey. The cut enhances an hourglass silhouette and goes with anything. Pair it with a black turtleneck, a blazer, and Chelsea boots.

Cargo Midi Skirt

This reviewer’s “clothes snob sister-in-law,” guessed this under-$40 skirt was from The Frankie Shop, Nordstrom, and Artizia — but never from Amazon. Similar to this Elie Saab cargo skirt, the Amazon version has been praised for its stretch, with the same shopper noting it was “comfortable but maintains its shape.” Pockets are a traveler’s best friend, and this skirt has two large patch pockets on the front to keep your passport and phone easily accessible while breezing through the airport. Belt loops add an extra level of detail that feels nicely tailored. 

Pleated Knit Midi Skirt

Pleats add an extra dose of luxury, sophistication, and prep-inspired style to an ensemble. Much like this $810 designer skirt from Nordstrom, the Amazon lookalike is also a stretchy polyester knit. You could wear this skirt on a travel day or out to a nice dinner. Available in 10 neutral colors, this slim skirt is versatile and easy to pack — you could fit several in your suitcase and have an easy, instantly polished final look with the addition of a soft sweater and a pair of ballet flats.

Silk Skirt

Silk skirts roll up and travel compactly thanks to the nature of the fabric. But just because silk is lightweight, it doesn’t mean it’s not suited for fall travel. Genuine silk is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it can still provide some insulation in cool climes. Just in case, travel with a pair of tights as an added layer. This Amazon silk-like skirt is now 20 percent off and far from the price tag of this luxurious silk stretch crepe skirt retailing for $998.
