When you’re seeking out the season’s newest trends, the runways aren’t the only place to source sartorial inspiration. The street style spotted in between each show is equally as inspiring—it’s also telling of fashion’s future. We couldn’t help but notice, among the top trends spotted during the most recent fashion month, a slew of sleek leather midiskirts worn time and again by some of fashion’s chicest insiders. From figure-skimming pencil skirts to ladylike A-line skirts and modern schoolgirl-inspired pleated skirts, the leather midi has unmatched versatility. Dressed up with billowy blouses or down with an everyday T-shirt, this is one closet classic all your wardrobe essentials will pair with perfectly.
The leather skirt in itself is a staple wardrobe piece that regularly returns in refreshed iterations each year, in keeping with current trends. This means that shoppers will often purchase the item as a long-term investment, something they can wear year-after-year. Additionally, a number of brands have begun to implement animal-friendly or ‘sustainable’ iterations of the design into their offering, allowing for a wider consumer base to access the piece. My choice? A leather midi skirt, a nice pleated blouse, high heels, a lot of pearls and a touch of red on the lips!
Leather skirts are an item that allow for plenty of styling possibilities, depending on the weather, of course. For colder weather, add an oversized sweater and long-line coat to take the skirt into the autumn/winter season. For now a blouse with or without a cardigan will be enough. Silk or printed shirts further help to create a softer appearance to the look, while distressed elements or cut up designs bring a bit of edge to the piece. As a well established wardrobe staple, the leather skirt is an item almost every customer can feel comfortable purchasing knowing that it will continue to remain in style for years to come.
My style is as follows: skirt and bluosa Soliver Black Label, shoes Steve Madden, bag Pinko.
