You CAN do Leather: Skirts!

by Monica on September 2, 2010

I love leather for summer and fall this year. A timeless/season-less staple like leather never goes out of style. However due to its edgy reputation its rarely found in the everyday woman’s closet. But I’m serious when I say you too can do leather!

I came across this super chic street style on Elle.com. This outfit is so fierce, I love it! I adore the feminine pleat of the tough (faux) leather skirt. This is the best version of a leather mini I have seen and its not even a glamorous celeb rocking it!

This girl proves that leather can work for day when paired with the right pieces…blouse-y tops and casual shoes!

Her skirt is from Forever21 but unfortunately, it’s no longer available! However, I did find this one for less than $20 as a great alternative!

I love the ruching at the waist and the zipper detail…and while it looks super short on the model, it was much longer in person!

There’s a lot of leather out there for Fall and while I think leather shorts and pants look ab-FAB on models and super tall skinnie-minnies, they’re not for everyone.

It’s a hard look to pull off so if you want to be bold this season with your leather picks, opt for a skirt… or if the skirt still isn’t your thing try a leather jacket like this or a soft leather belt to add a little edge to your closest!

I actually like the one you found better, even though its a bit short for me! :) )))

You inspired me to go buy one! I got a cute pleather one for $10 at a Loehmann’s Clearance center. It’s knee length and has angled zippers on the sides
