How to Style a Leather Skirt: 8 Outfits That Turn Heads

A leather skirt brings edge and polish in equal measure. It is the piece that makes a plain top feel intentional and a basic outfit feel fashion-forward.

Choosing the right skirt

• A midi or knee length is the most versatile
• An A-line or pencil cut flatters most shapes
• Black is the most wearable, with tan and oxblood as alternatives
• Look for a soft or faux leather that moves with you
