How to Wear a Leather Midi Skirt

I usually consider myself pretty good at putting outfits together. Usually where I struggle is putting too many trends together. But for some reason, I found it a bit hard to figure out how to wear a leather midi skirt. After throwing half my closet around the room and getting second opinions from a friend, I figured it out.

The key thing to know when you’re deciding how to wear a leather midi skirt is that the fabric makes the skirt look much more polished. In a world where we are no longer going to work, I was surprised when this leather midi skirt (EU) felt more formal than I expected. Here are a few things to keep in mind when styling:

Button downs will make it look the most polished/work appropriate. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to keep in mind. For running around Amsterdam, this felt too dressy. When things return to normal, I think I’ll love this combo.
A chunky sweater is the perfect topper. After trying on half my closet, I realized a chunky knit (EU) pairs best with a leather midi skirt. It keeps it from looking too formal while staying warm. Pro tip: employ the french tuck to keep it from looking frumpy.
Be smart about your shoe choice. In my head this skirt was going to go perfectly with chunky boots or sneakers. But it didn’t look right. I recommend knee-high boots (one of my fave ways to style a midi) or a nude block heel like I’m wearing in this post.
Have fun with your accessories. Overall, this look is pretty simple, so play with your accessories. A chain belt is very on trend for 2020. Or throw on a fun necklace or interesting bag.

It may be slightly intimidating to try out new trends. Now that you’ve got the above tips for how to wear a leather midi skirt, you’ll be able to rock it in total style. And if you do, send me a DM or tag me on Instagram. I love to see how you guys put together looks!
