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?

@Ohhelpwhatnowby High boots you mean long ones?

High if you are standing up! I think they would interfere with the drape of the skirt.

Not knee boots… no skin sandwich as Amy Smilovic would say. I’d go for smoky colours for the tights but not too opaque. Sheer blacks, greys or chocolates even depending on the shoe situation.

Suede heeled ankle boots? I think the textural contrast might work better than leather and soften things up a bit.

Sheer black tights or maybe lacy ones but I’d only do lacy if the skirt sits below the knee, personally.

They have possibly chosen a model with beautiful black skin for this reason . For a white person I think sheer black tights or even pale sheer tights that match your skin colour is the best option. Not thick tights.Ankle boots maybe, high boots might be too much.

Skin tone tights.

And then obviously, elbow length leather gloves, sunglasses and a visible bra. Really OP the photo of the model is showing you exactly what's needed here 😂
