Black Faux Leather Pencil Skirt

Faux Leather Pencil Skirt — Midi with Front Split

Size Chart

Faux leather has very little give, so if you're between two sizes take the larger one. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem.

The grown-up version of the leather skirt. Faux leather in a deep matte black falls in a long clean column from a high waistband, seams shape it through the hip without relying on stretch, and a split opens at the centre front so you can walk properly in a skirt this narrow. At just under the knee it's a genuine pencil rather than a mini pretending to be one.

How to Style a Pencil Skirt

Faux leather wants something soft against it, so a fine knit, a silky shirt tucked in, or a tan or rust blouse to warm the black. Pointed heels or heeled ankle boots continue the long line the skirt draws; sheer or opaque tights depending on the season. Because the cut follows the body from waist to hem, it flatters hourglass and pear figures most naturally and gives straighter frames a defined column. Two honest notes: the fabric doesn't move, so size for comfort rather than your exact measurement, and the front split is what makes stairs and long strides possible — without it a leather pencil this narrow would be difficult.

FAQ

Is this real leather?
No — it's PU faux leather, a coated synthetic rather than animal hide. It gives you the matte depth and weight of leather at a fraction of the price and is fully vegan, but it won't soften or patinate the way real leather does.

How high does the front split go?
It opens from the hem upwards to around knee height, so it's there for movement rather than for show. That's enough to walk and climb stairs comfortably in a narrow skirt without exposing much of the thigh.

Which size should I order?
Match your hip measurement to the chart and order the UK size shown rather than the letter size, since these labels run several sizes smaller than UK equivalents. Faux leather has almost no give, so take the larger row if you're between two — slightly generous still looks sharp, slightly tight pulls at the seams.
