After 5: Pleated Leather Skirt

Within the context of women’s fashion, some of the most popular trends are out of style by the time you wear them twice.

This season, there is one particular trend that has survived the testament of time. Since this trend covers a broad area, we label it as, “Leather.” So ladies, if you have yet invested in the leather phenomena, you are truly missing out. This year, leather made another strong comeback into mainstream fashion and has transformed itself into a variety styles, fits, and colors for the everyday buyer.

From moto jackets to skater skirts, leather has taken over almost every retail store. More specifically, faux leather has trademarked itself as the must have item this season. Traditional stores like H&M, Forever21, and Urban Outfitters have the latest faux leather deals and finds. Just take out your credit card, and get ready to swipe away.

If we still haven’t convinced you, check out this week’s individual style feature. Our good friend, Briana, demonstrates how to style a pleated, faux leather skirt below!

The great thing about a faux, leather skirts is that it can be worn with a variety of looks! Think about it! You can wear a pencil leather skirt with a solid color button-down, pair of stockings, and black pumps for a light office look.

Additionally, you can be more adventurous and wear the same pencil skirt with an over-sized sweatshirt, hat, and combat boots for a dynamic daytime look.

If you are wearing a pleated, faux leather skirt, like Briana, try an urban chic look. By combining her golden skirt with a graphic tee, over-sized sweater, knee high socks, and a pair of suede wedges, Briana can easily go from day to night.

She states, “I like this outfit because it’s fun, bold yet not flashy, and can go from day to night.”
