If there was ever a single item of clothing that instantly renders any outfit “cool,” it would be a leather skirt. The mere thought of the garment brings up delightful imagery of stylish femmes like Alexa Chung and Kate Moss, who freely mix the article with fuzzy turtlenecks and argyle cardigans come winter. The reason these “It” Brits have championed the sultry hide for years is simple: It’s a cure-all for the typical humdrum cold-weather ensemble.
Whether worn with tights or towering shoes, a leather skirt can do so much more than your standard jeans. The buttery-soft and shiny bottom adds a rocker chick edge to a preppy plaid topper, and its abridged hemline allows you to experiment with logo tights and over-the-knee snakeskin boots. Plus, it comes in an array of styles: There are extra-glossy numbers for those in need of a retro standout, moto minis for when you’re feeling like a badass-leaning biker and vegan belted button-ups for sustainably minded shoppers. There are also plenty of clean-cut, corporate-approved pencil options and classic A-Line versions for when you need a girlish dash of daytime daring.
