I have noticed plenty of leather skirts on the high street for autumn and winter. I particularly love the pencil skirts as they can be worn with a t shirt for a rock inspired look or a blouse for a more feminine seventies inspired ladylike look.
The longer length means that they are more classy than trashy but I would also wear these skirts with high cut and slightly loose tops tucked in to balance the look out. They are also great for the evening with a vest top or camisole.
If you fancy treating yourself to a leather skirt, it is well worth considering a second hand or vintage one. Leather is one of the few materials that can actually improve with age, so you can get yourself a beautiful and on trend piece of clothing and also save yourself a few pennies or pounds. Here are some that I have found.
Buttersoft Nappa Leather Pencil Skirt – Penny Dreadful Vintage, Etsy – Size small, £40
Vintage High Waist Leather Skirt – Onceuponatime ASOS Market Place, Size 10, £20
Wallis Black Leather Skirt – Oxfam - Size 14, £14.99
Miss Selfridge Black Leather Skirt – Oxfam - size 12, £19.99
Black Leather Pencil Skirt with Side Split – Rokit Vintage, size 8, £25.99
Knee length Leather Skirt – Beyond Retro, waist 26 inch, £21
Grey Vintage Leather Skirt – Lady Pearls Vintage Boutique - size 10, £30
If none of these take your fancy, there are loads more out there and don’t forget to check out your charity and vintage shops.
How would you wear a leather skirt this autumn? they would look great with a blouse from www.style-is.co.uk.
