A fashion item that’s becoming more and more popular over the years, the leather pencil skirt is turning into a staple office wear, evening wear, and for certain color picks and with what you wear it with, even a daytime and summer wear. Leather pencil skirts are truly versatile apparels that, if a woman’s wardrobe is without, misses one out from all the fashion opportunities and great looks one can create from it. If you’re quite weary how to don the leather pencil skirt, let me tell you how.

1.       Find the right skirt length for your specific body type. Leather pencils can come in many forms. If you’re the tall and slender type, go for the pencil cut a little above the knee. Most body types that do not fall in the same category as the latter and would opt for the on-the-knee leather pencils and the ones below the knee.

2.       Find the right cut and design. This is an important element to looking your best. As women are build differently, specific skirt designs will go well only with certain shapes. Pear-shaped women should stay away from pleated designs, as such is only best for the petite ones for some added frame. Smooth tailored designs would do the trick. Remember, A-line cuts flatters almost all shapes, you might want to try it out. However, if you are slender with some pretty good height, you can flaunt on knife-pleat pencil or the more flared cuts.

3.       Find the right color. Most leather pencil skirts out there come in the most basic black and brown. As they’re the most versatile and would stretch one’s wardrobe quite amazingly, having one in such color would be a smart option. Yet, going for more adventurous color options like white, blue, pink and the striking red would acquaint you with fashion possibilities more than you ever thought you could explore.

4.        Find the right top. If you have your leather pencils in black or brown, finding the right top wouldn’t be much of a headache. Paired with a tank, a dressy blouse, jersey top or even your simplest tee, as long as it looks good in front of the mirror, a little more attitude will pull off your ensemble. Make sure your top’s fabric is appropriate for the season, time and venue. If you wanna go an extra mile with your leather look, you can top it off with a nice jacket, and you’re sure to turn some heads.

5.       Find the right shoes. When worn to work, plain black pumps is the classic must-go-with for your leather pencil skirt. Yet winter and fall trends show how this skirt would look truly edgy with tall boots. And for sexy nights, strappy sandals with a bit of accent will look sophisticated.

6.       Find the right time and place to wear it. With the skirt’s versatility, you can practically take this trend from work and transition easily to your night out. Perhaps slip on your pumps with the skirt during the day at work and switch to your sexy stilettos when meeting your girlfriend for dinner. Lighter fabrics, when teamed up with leather skirts, makes the whole ensemble appropriate for daytime and even for summer. Evening and winter looks calls for the tall boots and nice-fitting jackets. Finding the right time and place to wear it would somehow sum up the kind of top you pair it with, your footwear, accessories and not to forget, how you wear it.

I looked around and found all looks of leather skirts. From buckled to snapped and jewelled and the very basic plain black, there’s just really too much to choose from. But as I wanted to try the leather look so badly, but still go with my personal style, I looked for simple yet elegant picks. I found my staples at Amazon, and how timeless leather had proven to be, they stayed in my wardrobe season after season no matter what newer trends came and went.

Black probably has the most style options for leather pencil skirts, but I find this Phistic Lambskin Leather skirt really edgy.

Its neat cut works well with my simples tees to dressiest blouses. The back zip closure leaves the skirt with a clean sleek look making most of the superior material’s natural shine. I like how perfectly this skirt contours my curves while its cut and its single back vent allows me to stay comfortable and confident in it. But what I find truly sexy about this skirt? Its wide waistband just added so much character to my every ensemble and in some way, camouflages my quite wide hips.

If I wanna feel sexy, yet stay on the sophisticated side, I wear my black BGSD Lambskin Leather Miniskirt.

Not too much of a mini to make me look tacky, yet sexy enough to turn some heads. I love the versatility of this skirt as it goes quite well with mostly what I have in my closet. But most of all, having stayed with me for quite some time, I love the material’s outstanding quality.

This one’s perfect if the classic black isn’t your cup of tea. My pecan Newport News Together Leather Skirt is my ultimate trusty when I need that corporate look.

With a trendier tone, yet as versatile, it is easy to take this skirt to quite a lot of venues. It length makes it truly unique and the slight pleats allows the comfort I need.

I’ve seen more designs added on the list from time to time, but my few fave picks just would never go out of style, so I prefer to stick with them. As every woman is different, and leather skirts are made in all designs, colors and styles, there’s surely one made for your look.
