No idea whether it is fashionable or not but it is definitely grim.
See also leather trousers and jackets.

Id say the midi pleated skirt is dated leather or not.

I honestly don’t know but I think you’re better off asking on a different forum.

Wear it like it’s styled in the picture and it’s dated.

I wouldn’t be wearing it at all coming into spring/summer; it’s a winter skirt to me. I wouldn’t wear leather trousers in warmer seasons either.

It probably isn’t on trend but it won’t scare the horses. Mind you, I saw a few pencil skirts sneaking back on some websites, so perhaps we’re heading into that silhouette.

I wore mine the other day with a tank top and an animal print belt.

I thought it looked good.

It looked better on the cow.

I like it.

You’re funny. Leather jackets are not grim. My mum used to dance in jazz clubs in leather trousers in the 60s.

To me I don’t think it’s fashionable right now. However it’s fine to wear it, if you like it.

I’ve seen a few but not really lately. I think we are heading back to leather pencil skirts for next season - at least I am on the look out for autumn
