The right outfit can make a world of difference in your self-esteem and overall confidence, which can carry over to other aspects of your life, including your career/job, personal relationships and more. While there are countless ways to create an attractive outfit, one of the most visually stylish options involves a leather skirt. Some women assume that skirts are only made of traditional fabrics like cotton or wool, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. There are also leather skirts available, which are made using the same high-end leather materials as classic bomber jackets. So, if you want to turn heads and improve your confidence, consider the following outfit ideas involving a leather skirt.
Black Leather Skirt with Black Leggings
Being that winter is right around the corner, many women are putting up their skirts for the year. After all, wearing a skirt when it’s cold outside isn’t particularly comfortable. Well, one way to continue wearing a skirt — leather or otherwise — is to wear it with leggings. A black leather skirt with black leggings, for instance, is a classic outfit that’s guaranteed to turn heads. You can even go one step further with this outfit by wearing black shoes or boots. Just remember to add break up your outfit with at least one other color, such as a white undershirt.
Midi Leather Skirt with Blouse
What is a midi leather skirt and why should you wear one? A midi leather skirt falls somewhere between a mini and maxi skirt. It’s longer than a mini skirt, but still shorter than a maxi skirt. Because of their moderate length, mini skirts have become increasing popular in recent years. They allow women to present themselves in a stylish yet still somewhat formal appearance. When wearing a midi leather skirt, consider pairing it with an attractive blouse or top.
Leather Skirt with Matching Leather Jacket
There’s no such thing as wearing too much leather. On the contrary, wearing multiple leather garments and accessories is a sure-fire way to enhance your appearance. A leather skirt with a matching leather jacket, for instance, is a brilliant choice for all women. If you plan on wearing a traditional black leather skirt, try pairing it with a similar black leather jacket. Being that these two garments offer the same appearance, it helps to create a more cohesive and uniform appearance in which your outfit flows together. However, you should only wear a leather jacket with your leather skirt if it’s the same color. Wearing a brown leather jacket with a black leather skirt is a serious fashion faux pas that will only hurt your efforts to create a stylish outfit.
Leather Pencil Skirt with Button-Up Shirt
A fourth outfit idea is a leather pencil skirt with a button-up shirt. Pencil shirts are characterized by their long length and slim fit. They typically stretch down to the knees (sometimes farther), while resting snug against the hips and legs. As such, they are often preferred for work attire and other semi-formal environments. To compliment your leather pencil skirt, however, you should consider wearing a button-up shirt. Button-up shirts are also somewhat formal, making them an excellent choice to wear with a leather pencil skirt.
Red Leather Skirt
While black and brown are undoubtedly the two most popular colors in which leather skirts are made, there are countless others from which to choose. Red, for instance, is a popular alternative that offers a brighter and more eye-popping appearance. You can create a stunning outfit by wearing a red leather skirt with a matching red jacket. Of course, there are other colors from which to choose as well, some of which include yellow, green and blue. Feel free to experiment with multiple colors to see what looks best on your body type.
Black Leather Skirt with White Long-Sleeved Shirt
You really can’t go wrong when wearing black and white in your outfit. A black leather skirt with a white long-sleeved shirt is one such outfit that’s guaranteed to look great. The contrasting colors of the black and white create a stunning appearance, all while enhancing your own appearance.
Black Leather Skirt with Gray Top
Finally, consider wearing a black leather skirt with a gray top. Gray doesn’t necessarily contrast with black; rather, it nuances the black to create a vibrant appearance. It doesn’t matter what type of top you wear — a blouse, button-up shirt, regular shirt, etc. — so long as its gray. You can even wear a black jacket over a gray top to further enhance your appearance. These are just a few great outfit ideas to consider for your leather skirt.
Leather Skirt Buying Tips
Hopefully, this will give you a better idea of how to wear a leather skirt. Additionally, though, you’ll need to choose the right type of leather skirt. See below for some helpful tips on buying a new leather skirt.
- Always choose a genuine leather skirt. Don’t be fooled into buying a skirt made of fake or faux leather. Although cheaper, they lack the attractive qualities and characteristics of their genuine counterpart.
- Check the length of the skirt to ensure it meets your needs.
- If you’re having trouble finding a leather skirt in your size, consider ordering one from the leather experts here at LeatherCult. You can specify your own body measurements when ordering, which we’ll use to create the perfect fitted leather skirt.
- Check the care label to see how difficult the skirt is to clean and maintain.
- Always buy leather skirts from a trusted, reputable vendor.
- Check to see if the leather skirt has buttons or a zipper, and if so, where they are located.
- Consider the thickness and overall quality of the leather skirt. Some of the cheaper leather skirts on the market are made with thin, low-quality leather, whereas higher quality leather skirts are made with thick, premium-quality leather.
