Black Faux Leather Skirt

Black Faux Leather Skirt with Side Split

Size Chart

Choose your size by your hip measurement — this is a close-fitting shape and the hip is the widest point it has to clear. Faux leather has very little give compared with a woven or jersey skirt, so there's no stretch to rely on: if you're between two sizes, take the larger one. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem.

There's a reason the black leather skirt survives every trend cycle, and this is the version that does the work. The faux leather has a soft, slightly matte finish rather than a plastic shine, the waistband sits high and holds a clean line, and a short split at one side hem stops the skirt gripping when you walk. Seams run down the front and around the hip to shape it properly instead of relying on stretch.

How to Style a Black Leather Skirt

The trick with faux leather is contrast in texture, so put something soft against it — an oversized grey knit half-tucked, a fine ribbed roll-neck, an oversized shirt. Ankle boots or knee-highs and opaque tights make it a winter uniform; swap to a slim vest and heels and it's an evening skirt with no other changes. Because the cut follows the body from waist to hem, it flatters hourglass and pear shapes most naturally and gives straighter frames a defined line, but the fabric genuinely doesn't move — so if you want room to breathe after dinner, size up rather than sizing to your exact measurement.

FAQ

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

How short is this faux leather mini skirt?
It runs 15.0 inches on UK 8 up to 16.1 inches on UK 16, taken from the top of the waistband. That's a true mini, sitting mid-thigh on an average 5'6" frame, and the side split adds a little more movement at the hem.
