K/P tweed zipper skirt ETA: pics winter skirts "collection"

This is a tweed skirt I bought two years ago. I've worn it quite a few times, but wonder if it still is a keeper or not? I like the sturdy fabric, the texture and wool blend a lot. But I wonder...

Is the skirt a bit too straight in a way?
Is it forgiving on my apple figure?
What do you think about the fit?
Are zippers still on trend or are they starting to fade?
Is it too short?

Thank you for any comments and suggestions.

Yay = Keep
Nay = Purge

ETA: I have 4 skirts for winter wear. As you see the tweed skirt is different from the others in texture and colour. The black pencil, the charcoal pencil and the striped midi pencil are not styled for winter. The navy A-line skirt is in heavy rotation all autumn and winter and I repeat the last outfit (skirt + soft cream blouse) endlessly.

I like this one! I really like it with the tights and booties. I can't comment on whether zippers on still on trend through - I'm also interested to know the answer to that.

Thank you, An! I was also thinking I could style the skirt with bright coloured tights for a more fun look.

Just bumping to hopefully get some more input on this decision

I prefer the length and fit of the other skirts (in genera) but think the tweed is neutral and has some interesting detailing to warrant keeping in rotation. The tweed appears to end rather straight instead of curving at the knee or flaring out which I think I prefer on you. I do think that pairing with the dark hosiery makes it very wearable and the zippers add edge which I think is a part of your style. Do you feel fab in it?

Thank you for the input, Kelly! I think you are right about the curving / flaring out at the knee. Maybe that create more flattering lines for my body? I like a bit of RATE in my outfits, but less now than previously. And I'm really wondering whether zipper details has done deed or not.
