Full length with a slit, considerable drape throughout.

Narrow waist widening to hem, most forgiving cut.

Pleated Skirt

Lambskin, because pleats need weight to swing properly.

Wrap Skirt

Adjustable and the easiest of all to size.

High-Waisted Skirt

Sits at the natural waist, lengthens the leg.

Slit Skirt

Sits at the natural waist, lengthens the leg. Opening at front, side or back for stride.

Choosing Your Leather Skirt

The leather skirt is the most useful thing in a leather wardrobe. It goes to work under a blazer and out afterwards without changing, and very few garments do that honestly.

Weight is what separates a good leather skirt from a stiff one, and it depends on the cut. Cowhide for pencil and high-waisted styles, which need to hold a line through the hip. Lambskin for pleated, A-line and wrap styles, which need to fall rather than stand.

Fit & Sizing

Waist is the critical measurement, and leather has no give. Size to your true natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, which is usually higher than where your jeans sit and rarely matches your jeans size.

Wrap and A-line are the most forgiving cuts. Pencil is the least.

Leather Skirts Through the New Zealand Seasons

Mini and midi lambskin skirts run right through summer, particularly with a split for airflow. Cowhide pencil skirts and heavier midis are autumn and winter pieces, worn under a coat or with a knit.

Common Asked Queries

Frequently Asked Questions

Should a leather skirt be tight or loose?

Fitted at the waist, easy through the hip. Leather does not stretch the way woven fabric does, so a skirt that is tight when it arrives will stay tight. Size to your true waist measurement and let the leather soften with wear.

Lambskin is lighter and softer, so it drapes — best for pleated, A-line and wrap cuts. Cowhide is firmer and holds structure, which is what pencil and high-waisted styles need to keep their shape through the hip.

Yes. A midi or pencil leather skirt in black, chocolate or tan reads as tailoring rather than statement dressing, particularly under a blazer. Structured cowhide holds a more formal line than soft lambskin.

 Mini or midi in lightweight lambskin. Midi lengths with a split give airflow while keeping the structure a leather skirt is worn for.
