The second column is taken high on the skirt, just below the waistband, rather than at the fullest part of the hip — that's why it reads smaller than a standard hip measurement, and it isn't a number to match yourself against. Faux leather has very little give, so take the larger size if you're between two. The maker allows a 2–4 cm tolerance, and length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoft black faux leather with a low sheen, cut high at the waist and released into a full A-line through shaped panel seams that give the skirt its swing without adding bulk at the top. A matching self-fabric belt threads through the waistband and fastens with a square buckle, which marks the waist and stops such a simple shape from looking plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e A-line faux leather mini skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e plain black with shaped panel seams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e faux leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise:\u003c\/strong\u003e high, sitting at the natural waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e close at the waist, flaring into a full A-line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail:\u003c\/strong\u003e self-fabric belt with a square buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e nights out, gigs, city days, autumn weekends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e autumn and winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Style a Black Mini Skirt in Winter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFaux leather looks best against something soft: a chunky cream cable knit, a fluffy mohair cardigan, an oversized grey jumper tucked loosely at the front. Opaque tights and knee-high boots close the gap in winter, while chunky loafers and thick socks make it more everyday. Keep the jewellery minimal and let the buckle be the hardware. On fit, a high waist with a released A-line is one of the most forgiving shapes there is and works on essentially every figure, particularly apple and pear shapes since it marks the narrowest point and skims everything below; the caveat is that faux leather holds its shape rather than draping, so the flare stands out from the body — if you want a narrower line, a straight faux leather mini will sit much closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe hip figure looks small — where is it measured?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHigh on the skirt, just under the waistband, rather than around the fullest part of your hips. Because the skirt flares outwards from there, the fabric is still relatively narrow at that point, which is why the number comes in below a standard body hip measurement. Match your waist instead and the rest follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes faux leather give over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBarely — unlike real hide it doesn't stretch and mould to you with wear, so it will fit much the same in a year as it does on day one. That makes choosing the right size at the outset more important than usual, and it's the reason to size up rather than down if you're on the line between two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs faux leather uncomfortable to wear all day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt runs warmer than a woven and doesn't breathe the way cotton does, which is fine in autumn and winter and less pleasant in a heated room. Tights make a real difference by keeping the fabric off the skin, and the A-line cut helps here too, since very little of the skirt actually touches you below the waistband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharp, structured and endlessly easy to style, this black mini skirt is the one that makes a big soft jumper look deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;display: block;width: 100%;font-size:0;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"black \/ L","offer_id":58410285433167,"sku":"14:193;5:361385","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ M","offer_id":58410285465935,"sku":"14:193;5:361386","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ S","offer_id":58410285498703,"sku":"14:193;5:100014064","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"black \/ XL","offer_id":58410285531471,"sku":"14:193;5:100014065","price":59.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/High-Waisted-Faux-Leather-Skirt.webp?v=1786111663","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/high-waisted-faux-leather-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
