Donning Leather: Dare to be Bold

An undeniable show-stopper, the leather skirt is a piece of garment that would look good literally on every woman. Apart from being sexy and stylish, leather will always be in fashion. A trend that comes in many forms, leather skirts can be mini, even micro mini, short pencil cut, on-the–knee pencil, high-waist, tea-length or the really long leather skirts. They come in a lot of colors, too. From the sassiest pink and pastels, and white, to the more professional earth hues, along with the darker muted shades of blue, grey, to name a few – - – which all are incredibly appealing and elegant in their own sense – - – a lot of women still opt for the conventional black and brown for their unmistakable sophistication and quite remarkable versatility.

Among all forms of leather skirts made available for women with varying tastes, one piece of trend all women would agree on, and will always have a special place in every closet, is the leather pencil skirt. No longer an exclusive fall and winter wear, leather pencil skirts can now be worn every day, most especially to important business functions and even to daily work. Creating graceful looks when paired with feminine, draped or printed tops, this skirt could also be teamed up with a great number of tanks and blouses in the closet. Here are added suggestions on how to wear your leather pencil skirt:
1.       Wearing this skirt with button-downs is considered the classic look. The combination beautifully accentuates one’s waist while showcasing a woman’s silhouette in a corporate way.
2.       When wearing blouses that fall on the hips, finding a good belt creates quite a wholesome fashion marker. Belt could either be of the same hue with the skirt, or slightly lighter.
3.       A zippered vest of solid hue, when paired with leather pencil skirt of on-the-knee length, creates a number or eye-catching looks. Gray zipped vest, when teamed with black pumps, wedged shoes or boots, brings one to the more metal look. Lighter shades conclude a more feminine ensemble.
4.       Simple solid hued tanks, paired with rolled-up blazers, make smart casual outfits when paired with this skirt. Black tights and pumps makes the whole look a lot more striking.
5.       A structured jacket with nipped-in waist, when worn with black leather pencils, resembles more a 50’s look, but is a very professional choice.

Adding red accessories to your black leather skirt look creates a somewhat dramatic effect. These two, when worn together create quite a powerful impact, and many agree on that. However, there are a lot of other ways to accentuate this trend. Ideas can be picked up from fashion magazines and celebrity fashion guides, along with newer ways on how to wear leather pencil skirt. Womens leather skirts will always grace women’s closet, and a timeless classic it is, makes it truly a worthy fashion investment.
