It's not leather, but here's what I wear with it:</p> <p>- Graphic or word t-shirt and flats. Makes it more casual.</p> <p>- Tank top with an unbuttoned button-up over top (does that make sense?) and flats.</p> <p>- A dressier top with a brown or denim fitted jacket and boots.</p> <p>Here are some ideas I found on pinterest:</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1857540 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 21:50:05 +0000 The Cat 1857540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some additional ideas: Wear the leather skirt with:<br /> - a checked shirt, i.e. red &amp; black, blue &amp; black or green &amp; black, and matching red, blue, green or black sneakers. (If black sneakers, choose some with white soles and other white details to brighten the look. And consider wearing white pearls as a fun and unexpected contrast.) Or substitute the sneakers for wine, blue or green combat boots or suede ballet flats<br /> - a white, offwhite or black lace blouse and non-black velvet shoes/boots<br /> - an offwhite cable knit sweater, a large but simple casual pendant necklace, and wine boots<br /> - a black cardigan, a camisole in a different colour, and patterned shoes/boots (i.e. leopard print, florals or checks)<br /> - a classic button-front shirt, perhaps in a pastel colour and/or patterned (i. e. stripes or dots), hoop earrings, a great textured belt, and oxfords (flat or heeled). Consider adding a knitted vest (waistcoat) and/or a printed scarf </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1857106 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 13:48:52 +0000 unfrumped 1857106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I likevthe ideas suggested. Keep the top simple and classic, some style that’s in you comfort zone helps keep the outfit feeling like “ you” , and simple keeps the skirt from feeling like too much. Also a different texture, a knit, makes good relief from the smooth leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1857058 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 11:14:58 +0000 kkards 1857058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the idea of a simple striped tee and denim jacket....or just a denim or chambray shirt.....black booties or i'd also try sneakers or to dress up simple black pumps </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1856950 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 01:21:03 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1856950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a black leather maxi skirt (that I haven't worn yet), and I'm 4'11".&nbsp; I'm looking forward to seeing how you style yours, because I could use some ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1856924 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 00:09:01 +0000 Anonymous 1856924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it with black in different textures. I have a black maxi skirt that I bought thinking it would be a good idea and have never worn it, so am really no help. I even bought a black quilted shortish jacket to wear with it, but it also has never been worn. Both could be dressed up or down. Hmmm, there is a lesson here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1856921 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 00:00:34 +0000 jill58 1856921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what <b></b><b>The Cat</b><b></b> suggested. I don't think you're in any danger of looking like you're trying to hard with this skirt--it's such a simple style and looks like it be worn in lots of different ways. I know how you feel--sometimes trying anything different makes me feel uncomfortable at first but I try to push past it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1856899 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 22:52:43 +0000 The Cat 1856899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool. Definitely not ridiculous. Your skirt looks gorgeous. And I imagine that it can be styled in a multitude of ways, from casual to rock chic to very elegant.</p> <p>One suggestion: Wear it with a fitted and tucked in high neck pullover and booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-leather-maxi-skirt-cool-or-ridiculous#post-1856896 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 22:26:48 +0000 lamireille 1856896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a lovely black faux leather maxi skirt because I thought it would be a goes-with-a-million-things basic bottom to substitute for jeans... but it turns out that I am not cool enough to wear it.</p> <p>Or at least I'm not cool enough to feel cool wearing it. I feel like I look like I'm trying too hard. Maybe that's because as a vertically challenged person I was always told I shouldn't wear long skirts.</p> <p>But the rules seem to have changed to more of a wear-what-you-love kind of approach. Should I give it a try? Is a black maxi skirt a basic?</p> <p>And what shoes or boots should I wear?</p> <p>Thanks so much for any advice! I love the honesty and support here!</p> <p></p> <p>It looks like this:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/ZyoAAOSwmgJY5oe7/s-l225.jpg">https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/i.....s-l225.jpg</a></p>
