There are lots of questions we struggle with in life. Where should I go to college? What should I do for a living? How do I know if someone really likes me? We don't have all the answers, but if you're wondering how to style a leather skirt, we've got you covered. Well, technically the street style set does.
According to our sources, you can rock a leather skirt any time of the year. Length is one factor. Naturally, miniskirts appear to lend themselves to warm weather while more maxi takes seem destined for winter. But that's not always the case. Miniskirts can be worn in the cold as long as tights or leggings are included in the mix. Longer iterations can be displayed in summer assuming there's enough of a slit to allow air to circulate.
