How to Wear: Leather Skirt

I felt very inspired so lots of pictures for this How to Wear instalment...

An item of clothing that i have struggled with, can look very tarty if styled wrong but with the right partner and accessories is a very chic look. Many of the styles seen in street style are faux leather, as i am sure most people cannot afford the cost of a true leather skirt but these days like faux fur the imitation styles are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

I always thought if i were to wear a leather skirt it would be a mini however recently i have seen some beautifully styled midi styles - for example the gorgeous bottle green image above, teamed with a chunky knit and cute plaid shoes. Also i love how polished a pencil style can look when teamed with a crisp white shirt and simple accessories. No matter what style you decide to go for, keep the rest of the outfit classic - a sweatshirt, white shirt or tee with a cute pair of shoes and your favorite bag - this item of clothing is definitely not one to wear with lots of bold colour.

Think this is an item i will be adding to my "try in 2016" list - perhaps a skater style mini teamed with ankle boots or a midi with cage style sandals. Either way it will be on my list, so keep an eye on my Instagram feed.
