There is no denying the allure of a slinky slip skirt, but a powerful leather skirt has its own indisputable impact. There's a dichotomy between the two styles that gives equally important yet very different feelings. You can change an outfit just by opting for one or the other. Slip skirts, though, lack the durability and warmth that leather skirts possess, which is key to surviving the colder months in style. Whether you're traipsing to the office or heading out at night, leather skirts manage to be both practical and undeniably chic when temperatures begin their descent this time of year.
Just in case you're not sure how to style our favorite winter slip-skirt alternative, below is a curation of six looks that'll make introducing leather skirts into your rotation this season a breeze.
Sweater + Slingbacks + Pencil Skirt
A classic gray knit complements a light-brown midi skirt every time. Snakeskin slingbacks and silver accessories add a sophisticated touch to the look, completing it with ease.
Shop the look:
Jacket + Turtleneck + Midi Skirt
Opt for a tonal ensemble with a brown suede jacket and richer chocolate skirt. Tie it all together with a black turtleneck and coordinating black accessories.
Shop the look:
Pastel Cardigan + Opticals + Pencil Skirt
Soften up your black leather skirt with powder pink and soft textures. A fuzzy pink cardigan, a heart puffer bag, playful opticals, and satin flats create the perfect juxtaposition.
