Whenever I want to make an outfit look more expensive or elevated, incorporating leather is the easy path I follow. Whether it's in a blazer or pants, the classic material always looks luxe. And while the past few months I've been wearing my faux-leather pants and blazers on constant rotation, I'm ready to take on a new style: skirts. While it may be something I'm starting to grasp, it's certainly not "new" in the fashion scene. But I'm seeing more fresh takes of the trend on the market lately, so I knew I had to talk about it. It's also a perfect way to take the leather look into the transitional weather that's ahead. 

Below, I searched through the internet to find the most fashionable leather skirts that are out there, in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Whether it's an all-black version, a classic neutral, or a party-perfect miniskirt, there are a plethora of options below. If you've been overwearing your leather pants and want to mix it up with other silhouettes, the skirts below are perfect for you.

Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
