What to wear with a leather skirt? What tops and shoes can you pair it with? We bring you some essential advice to avoid the famous "fashion faux-pas". 

Leather, a noble material

Leather is a very good choice for clothing: its resistance to wear is good and makes it a good investment for a wardrobe that lasts. It is easy to maintain and does not require special care like silk or wool. The key is to keep your garment dry, nourish the skin regularly and avoid stains - cleaning with white vinegar will certainly be sufficient. If you have vegan convictions, you can definitely turn to good quality faux leather. 

What cut should you choose for the leather skirt?

The classic skirt is straight or trapezoidal and comes to mid-thigh. From this base, several styles have been declined: it has been taken up with the "pencil" cut for a deliberately feminine style, or in long version slightly pleated for a more marked trend. The skater cut is also possible, but beware, it tends to thicken the silhouettes. 

What combinations to choose for a rock look?

If you like the rock side of the leather skirt, you can completely play this card. Its perfecto will finish to give your outfit a "bad girl" style, and all the more if you choose a pair of studded boots, very trendy these last seasons.

For the t-shirt, you'll have to look for the grungiest thing in your closet: a top with a rock band's effigy, a t-shirt with an offbeat message. The pair of white sneakers will also be perfect to give a more streetwear style. We will keep the casual style, but with a slight break with the rock side. Avoid the overload of accessories, the style of the leather skirt is already well defined.

How to wear a leather skirt while remaining sophisticated?

The occasion for which you want to wear your leather skirt is more formal? So prefer pieces that will soften its grunge side: tops in big knit, loose oversized sweaters, as well as white shirts will bring it a softer touch and will give a bohemian style. You can also choose a colored skirt: khaki, camel or bottle green, the tones will soften the rock-attitude. For the jacket, a blazer will be perfectly coordinated. Winter will also allow you to associate a wool coat. Moccasins, flat boots or heels depending on your figure, these shoes allow you to keep a sophisticated look, perfect for the office or a professional meeting.
