Leather Skirts: Edgy Elegance

Leather skirts continue to be a staple this autumn, offering a blend of edge and elegance to many outfits. This year, try pairing them with oversized knitwear or tailored blazers for a sophisticated outfit that works from the desk to dinner. If black isn’t your go to, look for skirts in warm shades like chocolate brown, deep burgundy, or forest green.

Full Skirts: contemporary and Feminine

Full skirts, often seen in midi lengths, are perfect for adding movement and a feminine touch to your wardrobe. Look for full skirts in luxurious fabrics like taffeta, wool, or denim for a bold statement. Pair them with fitted tops or tucked-in knits to balance the volume and create a flattering silhouette.
