When seeking out the season’s newest trends, the runways aren’t the only place to source sartorial inspiration. The street style spotted in between each show is equally as inspiring—it’s also telling of fashion’s future. Of the top trends spotted during the most recent fashion month, we couldn’t help but notice a slew of sleek leather midi skirts worn time and again by some of fashion’s chicest insiders. The embrace of shin-grazing hemlines comes as no surprise, given that for the past few seasons, many designers like Bottega Veneta and Miu Miu have called upon the prim and properness of retro midi silhouettes. For spring 2023, however, some leather midi skirts are erring on the edgier side, courtesy of Khaite, Mango, and Nanushka. 

From figure-skimming pencil skirts to ladylike A-line skirts to modern school girl-inspired pleated skirts, the leather midi’s versatility is unmatched. Dressed up with billowy blouses or down with an everyday T-shirt, this is one closet classic all your wardrobe essentials will pair with perfectly. 

Also, when it comes to mastering transitional dressing, it’s the ideal fashion foundation. Style By Malene Birger’s midi with a matching cashmere sweater or drape a timeless trench coat atop Altuzarra’s Scobie wrap skirt. Fit to flare, Caes’ voluminous leather midi skirt captures the feminine spirit of the silhouette beautifully and is even finished with lace-up detailing for an added edge. And while we could never replace our going-out dresses, styling Tibi’s chocolate brown midi or Nili Lotan’s version with a simple strappy sandal exudes elevated elegance.
