Skirt https://www.marksandspencer.com/faux-leather-midi-wrap-skirt/p/clp61268242?color=Black&intid=mobileapppdpshare
Fit is amazing
feel amazing
looks really expensive.

But if I wore it with black tights, would it look weird ? if I wore it with knee boots would it break up the whole split thing so I think I have to work with heels and then what on my legs?

I'm going to have to google what a college tight is
Will someone come and confiscate my hard drive?

I would match my tights to my top but I’m a bit funky like that

Sean Connery! The flap and dip at the front are the best.

Yes, I'm quite swarthy too @NovemberMornbut bare legs daytime in winter would look weird

Ooh that’s a fantastic skirt…. Are you thinking daytime or evening wear? For day I I think black tights and a medium heel lowish slung boot for evening I like idea of a lacy black tight and high black heels

I'm thinking of wearing it to school!

I love it, and the model looks fabulous in it.
Back in the day I had a similar black leather skirt. I am usually tanned, so I wore it with bare legs and black suede heels.
If legs are white, always wear tights; sheer, natural or black would suit.

Nonsense. It’s fabulous.

This is what I was going to say! I’ve been seeing some patterned tights in films lately and wondered if they were still a thing. If not, they should be.

Love this idea!

I’d bear black buckle docs. And fishnets or thick patterned black tights. But don’t listen to me cos I wear those with every skirt! I think it works (but maybe I’m delusional). Tbh I wouldn’t buy the skirt though cos of the faff at the front. Reminds me of bag flaps. But I’m weird. I love a long black leather skirt though. Paired with a cut off black jumper would look awesome

I wonder if you can use some heel shoe boots. You know the ones that are kind of Y2K style

not necessarily these one, but low rise in black

you could try high rise boots tho - have you asked AI? I use copilot for this stuff. Really helpful

The Maud Heel, suede heels

A heel for a leaving do that goes on. Upper in suede, Side zip. 3 colours. Insole length in cm, per UK size.

Very thin 15 denier tights and shoes, not boots. Knee high boots would look really silly.

Amandainorange · 21/10/2026 10:39

That skirt is lush. Love your taste @iCod .

I would probably go for some 1980s style patterned sheer tights in black. I think M&S do some at the moment with florals or dots.

I'd wear it with sheer black tights with DMs, heeled ankle boots or ballet flats.

bgi · 21/10/2026 12:41

Love that! Sad they don't have my size!

DiligentDandelion · 21/10/2026 12:27

Great skirt. Sheer black tights and heeled ankle boots.

Not even a little bit

AbraCaStabYa · 21/10/2026 12:24

That skirt is super cute, I would have bought it if they had a size 10 :(

I used to have a black leather dress and wore lots of different coloured tights but the best were sheer black or black lacy ones.or even fishnets. With black wedge ankle strap suede shoes

Goth it up with long Doc Martens and a loose knit sweater.

DarthVadersGlove · 21/10/2026 11:01

I love the phrase high-rise boots!

I think I would wear it with skin college tights, hello. I haven't worn those for decades probably.. it's a fabulous skirt.
