I really think that it has to do with the length of the skirt, how tight it is, and&nbsp;how you style it.</p> <p>If you're having trouble styling your skirt, feel free to post pictures of different combinations, and we'll help you out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-1348153 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:20:50 +0000 Aquabee 1348153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a leather skirt that isn't a pencil skirt. It's fitted at the waist, but has small gathers and pockets. It looks better with something tucked in, so is trickier than I thought to make it look right. I'm waiting for cooler weather to debut it....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-699434 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:20:31 +0000 Anonymous 699434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both sets of outfits look very professional and classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-699253 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 09:28:56 +0000 harmonica 699253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK and Deborah - your leather skirt outfits are awsome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-699243 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 08:05:40 +0000 Deborah 699243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it perhaps come down to the fit and and the length of the skirt and of course how you style it. I wear mine to work and feel confident that I look both professional and appropriate. Hmmm might wear it tomorrow:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-699109 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 01:55:57 +0000 Thistle 699109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is possible, but I agree with Echo. It is very difficult to do properly. I don't know what industry you or in or what type of position you have (marketing has a different acceptance level than finance where I work).</p> <p>Still, unless you are absolutely sure, I would leave leather bottoms out of the workplace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-699102 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 01:40:41 +0000 Krista 699102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You go, MaryK!<br /> I think it's possible - it's all in what it's mixed with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-699096 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 01:34:36 +0000 MsMary 699096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I work in a pretty conservative office and I rock my leather pencil skirt at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-698832 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:55:29 +0000 Anonymous 698832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once worked for a hotel manager who wore leather dresses and leather skirt suits into work and still looked appropriate behind the bar//in the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-698827 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:52:08 +0000 Echo 698827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a VERY fine line to walk, IMO. First, a person must not be in a very conservative environment because leather will be inappropriate in some workplaces no matter how it is styled, and better safe than turning heads. In less conservative fields, the skirt must not be too shiny, too tight, too short, too bright or even too noticeable. Unless one works in a fashion-forward industry, IMO wearing a leather bottom of any sort (skirt or pants) to work is just too risky. Even if no one says anything, if you caught attention in the wrong way it can affect how and whether you are able to move up in that company. Fashion just isn't worth that, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-and-real-leather-skirts-for-the-officework#post-698814 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:42:46 +0000 Anonymous 698814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your thoughts please.</p> <p>I've seen 2 or 3 people wear these at work anjd they have managed to still look professional. </p>
