Mini Silver Skirt

Silver Faux Leather Skirt with Built-In Shorts

Size Chart

The UK equivalents above are worked out from the measurements, since the maker doesn't supply them, and the waist and hip figures agree closely, so your usual size is the right starting point. One thing worth knowing: the maker allows a 2–4 cm tolerance, which is a lot on a skirt this short — yours could land up to an inch and a half either side of the length shown. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the bottom pleated tier.

High-shine silver in a faux leather with real weight to it, knife-pleated and built in two flared tiers so the whole thing stands out from the body and swings when you move. Belt loops are set into the flat waistband, there's a small D-ring detail at the front, and a pair of fitted shorts is stitched in underneath — which is what makes a skirt this short and this bouncy actually wearable.

How to Style a Faux Leather Skirt

Silver is loud enough to be the whole outfit, so keep the rest quiet and close: a white ribbed long-sleeve, a black bodysuit, a grey knit cardigan slipping off one shoulder. Long white socks with a Mary Jane is the styling in the photos and it works because it stops the shine reading as clubwear; black opaque tights and chunky boots take it somewhere tougher. On fit, pleats released from a flat waistband put volume at the top of the thigh and leave the stomach smooth, which builds shape on straight and slim figures; the caveat is that stiff faux leather holds those pleats out from the body rather than draping, so it adds real width there — if that's not what you want, a straight faux leather mini will keep the line much narrower.

FAQ

What's underneath the pleats?
A pair of fitted shorts sewn in, which is the reason this works at under 14 inches. You can sit, dance and go up stairs without holding the hem down, and it means the pleats can be left free to bounce rather than being weighed down — that movement is the entire point of the skirt.

Is this real leather?
No, it's faux leather — a coated synthetic with a metallic finish rather than an animal hide. That's what allows the high silver shine in the first place, and it also means it's lighter than real leather and doesn't need conditioning.

Does metallic faux leather crack or peel?
The coating can craze over time where the fabric is folded hard and repeatedly, so the pleat edges are the place to watch. Hanging the skirt rather than folding it into a drawer makes a real difference, and wiping it with a damp cloth rather than machine washing keeps the finish intact far longer.
