Meet the Leather Midi Skirts You'll Want to Wear All Season
The midi skirt is having a major moment, especially the printed variety, with '90s-inspired florals, polka-dots, and leopard print. However, there is one style in particular that not only transcends the trends but can truly be worn for any occasion: the leather midi skirt. This length tends to fall anywhere from below the knee to right above the ankle, which means there's so much versatility. Another plus is that a mid-length skirt caters to those, like myself, who don't particularly like to draw attention to their legs. This makes the piece a true godsend in that department, allowing me to confidently wear a skirt.
Although the options on how to style a leather midi skirt are endless, there are a few outfits in particular that we rely on again and again. The first is a fashion-girl favorite: Style your skirt with an oversize ribbed turtleneck sweater, a mini ring-handle bucket bag, and a fashion-forward pair of mule heels or flats. Another take that's spot-on for the office involves a tailored blazer (we're partial to pinstripes) cinched at the waist with a luxe belt; then complete the look with pointed-toe ankle boots. As for a casual outfit idea we love for the weekend or even concerts, couple the leather midi skirt with a worn-in vintage band tee and sporty sneakers.
With all this in mind, we rounded up our top leather midi skirts of the season to help you find the perfect one for your closet. Trust us—with a piece so stylish and versatile, you won't be disappointed. You'll be wearing this skirt style for many seasons to come.
