7 Leather Skirts ...

While the leather skirt may have previously been viewed as a bit punk and risqué, it has recently become a must-have wardrobe staple. Styles range from ladylike full skirts to streamlined minis. While leather skirts are on the pricier side, you can always find faux leather alternatives. Take inspiration from a few new season leather skirts below.

1 Topshop Leather a-Line Skirt

Topshop Leather a-Line Skirt Price: $125.00 at us.topshop.com
Tan leather makes a great alternative to the more common black leather skirts around. I find that tan colours are more versatile when it comes to creating daytime looks. This Topshop skirt has an A-line design, is fully lined, and has a side zip fastening. Pair this skirt with loose-fitting blouses and ballet flats for a quirky take on prep-style dressing.
