Burberry’s catwalk has been about the leather rather their overhyped, famous checks. Perfectly balancing sophistication and attitude, their collection was full of classy black leather trousers and skirts. the fashion world is eagerly welcoming back its ultimate transitional hero: the leather skirt. While longer lengths have enjoyed their time in the spotlight over recent seasons, this autumn belongs unequivocally to the leather mini skirt.
Brimming with a bold, energetic charm and an undeniable retro flair, the structured mini has reclaimed its title as a must-have wardrobe staple. Designers and street-style icons alike are trading in basic denim and heavy trousers for the instant edge and rich texture that only high-quality or carefully crafted faux leather can provide. Far from being just a nightlife piece, the contemporary leather mini is proving to be incredibly versatile, serving as the perfect foundation for sophisticated daytime outfits and cozy, elevated casual wear.
We are bringing you once per month the outfit seen on our founder and owner Marketa. The miniskirt in bared, shapely legs is rarely seen on her, but the leather skirt is trendy again and the outfit works as the perfect example to show not just good body shape and the pins out. We feature couple of current designer mini skirts, seen in the recent fashion collections and we have also couple of the pre-owned designer and contemporary skirts and the trousers in our stock for colder months.
Marketa’s outfit: pink t-shirt by Chelsea Piers, leather skirt by Valstar, peep toe heeled boots by Prada
The ankle peep toe boots are fashionable again this season, the black is always a staple and works well with low – high white top such as a relaxed t-shirt or a classy shirt or the soft knitwear , read about monochrome dressing and styling The pink and purple, violet colour shades dominate the winter season and colder months love an injection of the cheerful colour, check it pink and purple rain in the winter
The genius of the leather mini skirt lies in its ability to anchor the season’s cozy textures. To balance the shorter hemline, fashion insiders are leaning heavily into play with proportions. An ultra-chic daytime uniform has emerged on the streets, combining a sleek black or chocolate brown leather mini with a heavily oversized chunky knit or a relaxed cable-knit sweater. This contrast between the soft, voluminous knitwear and the sharp, structured leather creates an effortless balance that looks carefully styled yet completely comfortable. For those crisper autumn afternoons, layering with semi-sheer black or patterned tights, super trendy knee socks, or knee-high leather boots extends the lifespan of the mini skirt effortlessly into late November, proving that cold weather dressing doesn’t have to mean hiding your personal style under layers of fleece.
