A pencil-style leather skirt is a classic option, and the a-line model is quite relevant in any season. This option requires the correct choice of product length, top item of clothing, selection of accessories and shoes. At the same time, leather skirts can be worn by those with a slender figure or slightly outstanding proportions. In the case where the physique is quite full, you should not wear a leather skirt, as it emphasizes imperfections and visually enlarges the figure. A particularly important point is the color combinations with a leather skirt, as well as the style of the outerwear. In this case, you need to take into account a set of rules that allow you to create a stylish image.
Who is a leather A-line skirt suitable for?
The elegant cut with a flaring hem is beautiful and versatile. It suits absolutely all ladies, both slim and tall, and those whose shapes are far from model. The shape of the A-line skirt visually:
- reduces the waist;
- lengthens legs;
- widens the hips;
- harmoniously emphasizes the dignity of the figure.
A leather A-line skirt has long ceased to be a thing for the brave and self-confident. Today it is the basic and most desirable element of a woman's wardrobe. Every season at least one or two designers or luxury brands always include it in their classic collection.
If you are a student, feel free to wear a short leather skirt to school or a party in the most fashionable colors in autumn and winter - brown or black. Pair it with a tight, feminine knee-high or an elegant white blouse. Pair these pieces with a classic jacket in fabric or cozy knit.
Fashion for a business woman is more conservative. Therefore, length to the knee, mid-calf or ankle would be appropriate in the office. To look stunning and stylish, wear a long A-line skirt with a voluminous pullover or a fur-trimmed jacket.
Today, the trend is decor with a vertical through zipper on the front panel. In combination with a small slit, a contrasting top and a neat handbag, such a miniskirt will provide a slim silhouette and add a touch of sexuality to the image.
Remember! If you don't want to look like a biker, don't wear multiple leather items at the same time and avoid additional leather parts in your clothing. Simplicity and laconicism of the form suggest the absence of pockets, darts and inserts. Only a belt and buttons are appropriate for decoration.
How to combine skirts of different colors with clothes?
At the peak of popularity were leather models in black, burgundy and brown shades. These are very convenient options in terms of color compatibility. It’s easy for them to choose a pair, regardless of color type and appearance.
Black
The color is basic, non-binding. It can become the basis for a daring bow (the material suggests), a set for work, or an option for meeting a young man.
Balanced and neutral solution:
- gray hat;
- White T-shirt;
- skirt above the knees;
- long dark red scarf;
- gray coat;
- tight tights;
- dark red ankle boots with low heels;
- black or scarlet bag.
The T-shirt is replaceable . In winter, take a warm sweater or turtleneck, and in summer, take a T-shirt with thin straps. On a hot spring day, instead of red ankle boots, black boots are suitable, and tights will give way to knee socks. Moreover, girls with thin ankles and beautiful calves can easily wear socks that peek out from under their shoes . The edge will catch the eye and emphasize dignity.
Important! The good thing about white is that it suits almost everyone. But if you know a palette that matches your appearance, feel free to use your knowledge. A black leather skirt will go with a sweater or T-shirt of any shade. And don’t shy away from things with labels, sports inscriptions and drawings, and other thematic elements.
Not only a coat is suitable for outerwear. A bomber jacket and a short A-line skirt are a classic combination for a young, active person. Moreover, the top may well be of the oversized type . If you don’t believe me, look at American students and schoolgirls. Their habits are actively copied by older ladies. Only they wear their bomber jackets not with sneakers or boots, but with shoes with feminine thin heels, and complement the look not with a mini, but with a midi.
Important! The trend of combining sports with other areas is not a thing of the past. Don’t be afraid to wear shoes and sandals with things that originally suggest footwear of a completely different kind.
Brown
First, try on a blouse or collared shirt. Recommended colors:
- green;
- aquamarine;
- classic (black, white, gray);
- blue, blue;
- terracotta;
- gold;
- light beige.
Complement your chosen item with boots, a shoulder bag and a trench coat. If there is a difficulty in color combination, solve the problem with a scarf or stole (let it contain the tones used in the bow).
With a skirt above the knees, you can do differently. We make our legs look endless with shoes and tights of the same shade (preferably black). Keep the top simple. For example, a plain turtleneck. We proceed further depending on the goal. If you need to balance the look and restrain expression, take a woolen coat (for example, blue-gray). If, on the contrary, you need a provocation, a daring jacket or short fur coat made of some crazy faux fur will do.
Examples with a suede skirt:
Burgundy
A deep shade, strong and hiding enormous potential. If you have the opportunity to choose, in everyday life avoid combining bright and red burgundy with a short length and shiny lacquer material - such an expression will only be good in the evening. Instead of the presented option, try to create a simply expressive bow. Example:
- cashmere bucket hat;
- oversized wine or gray sweater;
- a long stole the color of coffee with milk (let it hang carelessly);
- wrap skirt;
- brown sheepskin coat;
- boots (dark, with a red tint or just burgundy-black).
Another set, no less expressive and fashionable:
- silk scarf on the head;
- black plain golf;
- Marsala skirt;
- thick opaque black tights;
- classic biker jacket to fit the figure (can be replaced with a black short quilted jacket);
- boots (black, with stable heels).
Midis are incredibly popular this season. If you take something of this length as a basis, it is better to replace the boots with oxfords, thick tights with nylon, and a black turtleneck with something light-colored. All that remains is to complement the base with a burgundy leather bag, and a stylish, versatile look for autumn is ready.
Well, for the office it’s worth looking at a plain light blouse (blue, yellow, dark green, black, beige) and over the knee boots. It's nice if they are the same shade. If you don’t like such sweaters, take a wine shirt with a repeating small pattern or a white one, in which one of the pattern elements is red. Or you can take a regular snow-white one, but add a burgundy ribbon to it (use it instead of a bow on the neck) or a collar of the same shade.
Burgundy
A rich burgundy leather skirt is an ideal everyday solution for the cold season. With a short informal flare, wear a thin jumper a shade darker and with a large neckline. Accessories should be warm colors and clearly visible. The fashionable look will be effectively complemented by light gray ankle boots and a handbag to match the jewelry. When choosing what to wear with a leather skirt to work, adhere to the official office dress code. Pair the luxurious mid-length model with dark stockings, a knitted cardigan with large buttons, or a loose sweater.

Stylist tips
- The main advice of a stylist is not to be afraid to experiment. Modern fashion designers especially zealously emphasize this thesis. The question itself: “What to combine a leather skirt with?” — should not stand, since there are no restrictions.
- A skirt made of faux leather or leather already poses a certain challenge to society; it has a sense of audacity and originality. This foundation is unlikely to be interfered with by an extravagant T-shirt or top, so there are no restrictions.
- The main thing to remember is that skin is always an accent. This is where passers-by, colleagues and friends will focus their attention.
Black
A black leather A-line skirt above the knee looks most harmonious with a closed top. Pair it with a dark sleeveless jumper or a T-shirt with a fun print. Make a bright accent on shoes - red sneakers, high black sandals without socks or narrow cream shoes.
If it's not hot outside, wear an elegant black blazer or light jacket with a short skirt. Dilute the undisputed black and white classic with contrasting decoration or play with shades - with pure black, combine the colors of a cold palette - dark gray, graphite, prune, etc.
Note! A tucked-in top will accentuate your waist, and sunglasses will add mystery to your look.
Prints
Prints can brighten up anything. Don't give them up and always add them to your wardrobe.
In a cage
The cage can be bright, discreet and needs a calm top. A turtleneck, T-shirt, and chunky knit cardigan will go well with it. A classic shirt will be the perfect complement.
Animal prints
Animal prints do not go out of fashion for several seasons in a row.
Material
Denim
The denim mini trapeze is a classic. For several seasons in a row, denim has been at the peak of popularity. Models with raw edges are especially popular. This skirt can be easily combined with a sweatshirt, T-shirt, or turtleneck. On your feet - Cossacks, sneakers, boots, low-heeled shoes.
Leather
If earlier the skin was more often black or brown, now there are many shades. The most popular are burgundy, emerald, eggplant, gray, orange. A stylish trapezoid made of leather is a good option to replace a classic pencil.
Product Features
Thanks to the structure of the fabric, the samples fit the figure in a unique way, creating romantic waves and soft folds. It is believed that a trapezoid-shaped product is ideal for obese women . However, young slender girls with a boyish figure and ladies of Balzac's age of any build look no less attractive in them. Versatility is one of the main advantages of the trapezoid model, which perfectly corrects the figure.
Women with curvy figures will look slimmer and taller if they wear a leather midi or maxi skirt. For those of short stature, a long skirt will visually elongate and add elegance to the figure. Short styles will highlight your toned buttocks and thin waist. It is important to choose the right length and cut method to create an inimitable image of a charming lady.
Shoes and accessories
If you want to create an elegant urban style, it is best to use classic shoe patterns. Elegant black high-heeled shoes, luxurious ankle boots with a beveled edge, high platform boots or stiletto sandals will add expression to a woman's look . A sporty look can be created with white sneakers, high-top bright sneakers, multi-colored moccasins and slip-ons. Miniskirts go well with pumps and ballet shoes and allow you to create a casual style. Business midi-length swatches can be paired with boots or closed-toe shoes.
As for accessories, you can opt for a transparent neckerchief, a bright scarf, or folk-style jewelry. Fine gold jewelry, a silver chain or earrings made of natural stone are suitable . A hat and gloves will become the main accent of the style, and a belt will emphasize the waist and visually add elegance to the silhouette. Every detail has meaning and affects the perception of appearance, you need to remember this.
