I rather fancy a leather skirt

Must be pencil and knee lenght'ish and nice soft leather and preferably black or chocolate brown perhaps.

Anyone seen any nice ones around or am I just a bit too early?

I did look at that one but just too short - I don't want skin tight but I don't want a-line.

Want to wear with sued shoeboots and opaques and would definitely look too slaggy in zara one. But definitely want to do jumper on top.

Aah the fine line between wearing a leather skirt and looking stylish...or looking like a streetwalker!

Ive had 2 in my lifetime, the first I never quite felt comfy in, the 2nd Ive worn a couple of times with a jumper.

I still love it but Im a bit too big for it at the mo.

Wonder if short black could be de slagged by thick tights clunky boots by day


Or opaques and shoe boots de soir

Always look nice with big slouchy jumper in day. Except I find it hard to wear them for some reason.

Saw one on sale when I got caught by no refund in sandro. Too light though.

I just bought this faux leather one from H&M...couldn't afford the real thing (sob!) but it looks rather great on if I do say so myself! Not knee length though or even real leather so not really for you though...how about this?

I inherited mine off mil, well she was about to chop it up and make it into cushions, it looks fab with heels and 'taboo' tanned legs, no tights in the summer with silkish baggy top I have, but I love it in the winter.

I also bought two fakes from h&m about 12 years ago, one in cream and one in red. Very Debbie Harry, and I am so glad I kept them.

Suggest a couple of jumpers you'd wear it with Mrs? I have a lovely vintage one but struggle on top half.

Isabella Oliver do a leather skirt, can't link atm. I think leather skirts
are very pratical if you have small DC. Wipe clean!

Think the IO one would be too long and also a bit too expensive. Suede would be good although not terribly practical as DD still at sticky finger stage.

River Island and Topshop may be worth a look I think.

Also j crew start shipping to the UK soon - type of thing they may do perhaps . . . Also hoping to get some nice jumpers from them

Oh I like that trevor island one - just hope its not tooo a line.

But as I've bought leather trousers&pageSize=20 these today as I fell into tosho whilst doing food shopping - perhaps I should hold back on the skirt too before DH thinks I've gone mutton tastic.

Tethers - I like the shape of that one but would rather a darker colour.
