I prefer leather mixed with more traditional pieces. Leather is edgy and a little sexy so to pair a leather skirt with a slightly over-sized sweater is a cool and minimal way to rock the look.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://files.mom.me/photos/2014/10/20/143-81853-2-leather-1413848218.jpg">http://files.mom.me/photos/201.....848218.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no/page/2#post-1569549 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 17:46:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1569549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also chiming in late, but a "yes" vote from me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no/page/2#post-1569512 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 15:31:28 +0000 Colette 1569512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in late, but YES! Can't wait to see the skirt on you. (I picked up a pair of faux leather leggings last year that I was on the fence about and ended up wearing them to death and loving them.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no/page/2#post-1569456 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 13:51:06 +0000 Anonymous 1569456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear you ordered it, Maneera. I think it will be great on you! So many styling options, too. I'm also interested in your experience with A line. I had a leather pencil years ago and it quickly bagged out in the bum after too much sitting, something I don't think will happen with A line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no/page/2#post-1569452 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 13:37:26 +0000 Anonymous 1569452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt you ordered looks cute. I'm always hesitant to wear an a-line because I'm not sure how it will look on me, so I'm very curious to see the final outfit on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no/page/2#post-1569413 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 11:19:37 +0000 frannieb 1569413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes, yes, yes - last year I debated about a leather skirt - not mini an a-line knee length.<br />I wasn't sure about it also asked the board for help because I also don't have what I would define as a rocker or hard edge style. They told me go for it.<br />When I bought it I commited to wearing it for 6 weeks in a row differently.<br />That skirt has become a huge workhorse in my closet and I am now on the lookout to add a pencil skirt if I can find the right one.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no/page/2#post-1569402 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 10:52:09 +0000 krishnidoux 1569402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would absolutely go for it. It's a classic, you can wear it all winter, it works for many occasions (Moderate: worn with opaque tights, loafers, tee and long cardigan; Out and about: with non black knee high boots and chunky sweaters; Party: with pumps and knit top or loose blouse...).</p> <p>The skirt you chose looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569389 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 09:25:38 +0000 approprio 1569389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeps, give it a shot. Although I have to say I've found that A-line mini shape a bit difficult to wear. Your mileage may vary. Looking forward to seeing how it plays on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569388 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 09:17:17 +0000 lyn67 1569388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can absolutely rock it! We do all have leather skirts here on the YLF, isn't it! Reminescent of 5-6 yrs ago or so, when trending. I do have mine, in a knee length pencil and wear it with booties, or suede long boots, sheers or opaques, but not really with pumps. I just don't feel them the same weight as my skirt &nbsp;is also lined, so very warm. I do it under coats and with sweaters, only-very rare a blouse or lighter top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569384 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 09:11:00 +0000 Maneera 1569384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love how you wear yours, Beth Ann! It looks very feminine and this photo reminds me I have tons of Blazers I could pair my skirt with too! I do have a lovely maroon tweed blazer....</p> <p>So I read all your advice and with a huge smile on my face, I've ordered the leather skirt online. We'll see how it fits! I'm having a rather hard time shopping this winter. It seems like vanity sizing is taking over the retail industry!! It's skewing with otherwise tried and tested brands - I can't seem to figure out my size anymore! I wonder what is happening! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569339 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 03:21:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1569339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even I have a faux-leather skirt!&nbsp; One of my friends calls this outfit "schoolgirl with a twist."&nbsp; I like the idea of a shorter A-line skirt for you -- you could dress up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569319 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 02:23:43 +0000 Zibbets 1569319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely yes. Women of any age can rock a black leather skirt. I think you'll find it's much more versatile than leather pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569197 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 22:26:19 +0000 Sal 1569197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Maneera, it sounds like plenty of time!! &nbsp;I always associate India with warm weather, but of course your country is so large and diverse in altitude and climate.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569184 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:53:38 +0000 Brooklyn 1569184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a yay too. I think to keep it classy it should be not too tight and not too mini. No 3 ticks those boxes IMO and looks fab. Look forward to seeing this look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569183 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:49:33 +0000 catgirl 1569183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I'm a huge yes here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569130 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 20:10:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1569130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I especially like #3. The look is soft and feminine, with the sumptuous looking leather, the pocket stitching, the A-line shape, and the soft sweater worn with it. I can see you wearing it beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569126 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 20:04:01 +0000 Suz 1569126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it will suit you and look great! And it will be a really fun change. Your winters are probably much milder than mine, so you ought to be able to wear this silhouette quite a lot. And I think pairing leather with classic pieces is a great way to make it look and feel appropriate for any age. Go for it!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I even suspect I might want to copy you....except for my fear that this might take us back to the dreaded "butt-vest" -- and if you want to know that whole horrid story, just type that phrase into the archives...you can try "skirted leggings" too and you'll eventually find my sorry thread.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569096 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 19:01:12 +0000 Maneera 1569096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, thanks for chiming in. </p> <p>We have winters from Nov mid to Feb end. The really bad winter (when temperatures will go as low as 2-3deg C) lasts from mid Dec to all of Jan. </p> <p>And this year, we were wearing winter wear in March too! Our winters vary a lot, but it's definitely cold for what feels like a long time Plus, I want to wear this combination even before it gets really cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569092 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:55:51 +0000 Sal 1569092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it will suit you....A really fun winter look with tights and a cosy knit. &nbsp;I love the one pictured in pic 3.&nbsp;</p> <p>The only thing that gives me pause is your climate - is it cool enough for long enough? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569088 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:47:02 +0000 Anonymous 1569088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I have to say (or show) is this picture of the almighty Jen Aniston rocking a leather mini.<br />Guess what - she's 46 people. :D<br />Personally I think heels are fine, if the tights are thicker and not sheer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569086 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:44:07 +0000 Maneera 1569086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol Sterling. Thank you! </p> <p>I think the skirt may be like other leather items that need to be dry cleaned only. I didn't think of that aspect at all!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569083 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:41:31 +0000 Maneera 1569083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa. I value your inputs.</p> <p>This skirt would be strictly for the weekend look. I don't go to office - I work from home. But I wear very comfy clothes at home - usually just jeans and sweaters in winters. </p> <p>I get what you say about leather mini skirt plus heeled boots. I do want an A-line skirt and not something that barely covers my ass; I want a skirt that is a couple of inches above the knee. </p> <p>I do have every kind of black boots imaginable (to me) so I'll try all of them with the skirt. In my opinion, the skirt may look inappropriate if paired with tall, heeled boots. I don't think it'll look too bad with booties. I guess I'll just have to try different boot styles with the skirt, once I find it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569080 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:32:16 +0000 Anonymous 1569080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh YES. &nbsp;You would rock this look. &nbsp;It could potentially become one of your all time favorites. &nbsp;</p> <p>It would not be too much! &nbsp;<br />It would not be too pretendy. &nbsp;<br />It would be great. &nbsp;</p> <p>Now I want one!! &nbsp;Here is why I won't buy one. &nbsp;Leather. &nbsp;How in the world do you clean it? &nbsp;Am I too pragmatic? &nbsp;Probably. &nbsp;Do I love the look on others. &nbsp;ABSOLUTELY. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-mini-skirt---yes-or-no#post-1569073 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:08:59 +0000 Anonymous 1569073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the modern way to wear a leather mini is with a flat boot. Nothing with a heel, or it veers into , uh, inappropriate looking, if you know what I mean. I love leather skirts - used to wear them all the time. If I ever found one in an A-line cut as opposed to all the pencil silhouettes out there, I'd absolutely wear one, but not as a mini. &nbsp;I'm old enough to be your mother - lol. &nbsp;Are you thinking of wearing this to work? &nbsp;I forget if you work, or if I even know&nbsp;<i>what&nbsp;</i>you do ! </p>
