How to wear a leather skirt to look stylish

What are leather skirts

Perhaps once leather skirts were something daring and defiant. But now, if they have not yet become a subject basic wardrobe, then they are definitely marking time on the threshold. And all because leather is just a material from which you can sew almost anything. So, there is an option for everyone (and even for everyone!).

If we consider leather skirts in general, they will differ in several ways.

By lenght

Most often, leather skirts come in mini or midi lengths. This is due to the properties of the material. Eco-leather - and speaking of leather skirts, we still often mean its artificial counterpart - is quite hard. Therefore, there is a high risk that a maxi-length product will simply stand as a stake. Although this does not mean that floor-length leather skirts do not exist or that they all look bad. Much depends on the thoughtfulness of the pattern, the thickness of the fabric and the features of the figure of the customer.

With mini and midi, it is usually easy to make friends, although the model plays a role. But more on that later.

By model

Two options are also common here - a straight skirt and an A-silhouette. In many ways, everything is again explained by the properties of the skin. These two models have a simple cut and do not imply artistic folds, draperies, flowing fabric, and so on. They look good on women with different figures. So the choice of designers is clear.

At the same time, it is worth paying attention that if both a straight pencil skirt and an A-line model are good in midi length, then for a mini it is more convenient to stop at the second option. Just a slight flare at the bottom will give room for a comfortable step and reduce the risk of the item sliding up as you walk.

But other variants of cut are still found. For example, wrap-around or pleated skirts look interesting and are easily combined with other things.

Leather skirts can be decorated with studs, fringes, patterns. Sometimes other materials or pieces of leather are used for tailoring, including different colors. The more decor, the less versatile the thing becomes. But this does not make it worse, just the image will have to be thought out a little more carefully. If a laconic leather pencil skirt can be combined with everything that falls out of the closet, then a model with a fringe, for example, will fit more into the style. country music or boho (but not always, nuances play an important role).

What else you need to know when buying a leather skirt

There are a couple of important points:

• Pay attention to the label of the skirt in advance. There is such a paradox: often things are made of leather or eco-leather cannot be washed, iron, dry-clean, but at the same time they get dirty and wrinkle. Therefore, it is better to understand in advance what difficulties the new thing will throw at you and whether you are ready to put up with them.
• If you have several leather items, store them on hangers in covers or at least not next to each other. If the models touch each other, there is a risk that the darker one will color the lighter one. In the case of eco-leather products, they can even stick together.
