9 Ways to Wear a Faux Leather Skirt (With items you most likely already own!)

Hello darlings! One of my favorite things to do is create looks with affordable items and items I already own in my closet. Like most people I don’t have the income for a new wardrobe every season so I always try to invest in pieces that I can mix and match season after season. Today my challenge is taking a faux leather skirt and creating 9 looks with items I already own (and items you'll most likely have in your closet too!).

At the end of the post I’ll also have a swipe widget of all the items from my photos (most items are on clearance!) Shopping through the “shop this post” widget I’ll make a small commission at NO additional cost to you! 

Look 1: Classic Scoop or V-neck Top 

The most effortless way to make a faux leather skirt stylish is by getting a nice scoop or v-neck top and have it tucked into the skirt. I suggest finding a top with a higher quality fabric to help elevate the look. I also paired it with this fun hat all in neutral shades that compliment one another that'll make the ensemble very put together and perfect for day or night.

Look 2: Cardigan with a fun Bodysuit

Another easy way to style a faux leather skirt is with an item we ALL own! An open cardigan is the perfect way to make this skirt look very relaxed. I also love this black bodysuit for a tight fit but you could always do a simple tank top tucked in. This is how I would wear this skirt if I needed to run some errands.

Look 3: Tight Fitted Bodysuit or Tanktop

HELLLLLLLLOOOOO glam girl figure! This black bodysuit was made for this skirt. I love how this creates a fun color blocking ensemble and it even makes my skirt look more like a dress. I feel like this is the perfect outfit for a night out (and if its chilly out just put a jacket over it!).

Look 4: Open Plaid 

This is how you take a faux leather skirt and make it super super relaxed and casual. I know these skirts can come across as a bold or edgy look but with an unbuttoned plaid shirt and a basic tee or tank underneath you have this relaxed ‘cool girl’ style. Make it even more casual with some white or black sneakers or edge it up with some funky ankle booties.

Look 5: Tucked in Plaid

Okay darlings, this is how you take a simple plaid and a beautiful skirt and have em’ meet in the middle. I think this is the most darling way to wear the faux leather skirt and look casual but still put together. For me, I could wear this during the day and out to do dinner with the family or run into a nicer retail store (like Louis Vuitton) and not feel out of place.

Look 6: Chunky Sweater

The chunkier the sweater - the more elegant the look will be! This my PERFECT way to wear those thick chunky sweaters and look beyond adorable. I love this one from Abercrombie and it really completes this look. To dress this up some nude color heels would be so chic or a pair of mules. Add a statement necklace or scarf for the finishing touch!

Look 7: Graphic Tee or Graphic Sweatshirt

I know we’re all not here to glam up this faux leather skirt but make it more casual and here’s a GREAT way to totally mellow this skirt to a perfect basic everyday look. A great concert graphic tee or cropped graphic sweatshirt would be fantastic. My sweatshirt is my ultimate go-to for my casual days and I love how it paired with this skirt. 

Look 8: Mixed Textures And/Or Pattern Blouse

This is a sweet '2 for 1' look. You can go with both or just do one of the options. I first went for a mixed textured look: satin silk top with the faux leather skirt and soft suede boots. I also grabbed this satin silk top with some pattern (which also complimented the color of the skirt) but gave the entire look some more dimension. I think this is the perfect way to give your ensemble some edge and character.

 

Look 9: Dress it Up with a Coat

This is giving me MAJOR Audrey Hepburn vibes and I love it. Dress this faux leather skirt with a beautiful trench coat and you can take this look literally anywhere - from the grocery store, to the movies, or out on a romantic 5 star dinner date. I tried this skirt with a military coat, a long trench coat, and a navy blue peacoat and it ALL looked so fantastic. It's the perfect skirt to mix and match with any coat in my closet! 

BONUS LOOK: Knee High Boots and Fun Accessories!

I couldn’t leave out the must have way to style this faux leather skirt - fun, trendy, edgy, and elegant accessories! With any of these looks you can style this skirt with accessories to be the final cherry on top! Below you’ll see my accessories of choice: my Vince Camuto knee high boots, my Ray Ban sunnies, a classic plaid scarf, and some jewelry.
