When winter gets colder, we tend to rely on fluffy layers. But fashion editors and influencers alike are battling the cold in style with on-trend skirts that instantly elevate any winter look. As I scroll through Instagram every day, I notice fashion collectives styling trends with sweaters, tops, coats, and boots, and I can’t help but save these outfits as inspiration. The trend I’m talking about is leather skirts, specifically pencil-shaped skirts.
Leather pencil skirts are nothing new, as they became popular towards the end of 2025. Leather skirts entered the fashion scene after appearing on the Prada S/S 25 runway and have been here ever since. With celebrities like Hailey Bieber wearing this trend, it’s no exaggeration to say that leather skirts are the IT staple of winter. I have a strong feeling that they will be around until this spring.
If you’re looking for ways to spice up your winter wardrobe, keep scrolling for leather skirt outfit inspiration and shop a variety of styles in a variety of colors.
