Happy Wednesday, Fashion Friends!
Today's Work Wear Wednesday is all about the work appropriate faux leather skirt. I love adding edge to my outfits- thats totally my personal style. While adding edge to outfits in the workplace needs to be subtle, its still doable and looks exquisite when styled well. In order to make the leather skirt work appropriate, I have added a few of my own tips I take into consideration when wearing my leather skirt to the office.
Tip 1: Let the skirt be the center of attention.
Pair the skirt with basics. Pick a solid sweater or cardigan, button down shirt, blazer, dark tights, etc.
Tip 2: Keep colors neutral.
You want to avoid crazy prints or super loud colors with leather in the workplace as it can be distracting and look unprofessional. For a black leather skirt, stick to solid, complimentary colors such as white, gray, cream, rose, etc. This will make the outfit look more polished and professional.
Tip 3: Style with other materials.
Style the leather skirt with other materials such as silk, cotton, wool, etc. Avoid leather on leather at the workplace.
