10 leather skirts which make the perfect winter investment

At Harper's Bazaar, we are all about championing capsule classics – those pieces which never go out of style and help you to build a hard-working wardrobe without having to shop for new clothing at every turn. When it comes to winter dressing, one of these classics is the leather skirt.

A versatile and timeless design, it’s an item that you can wear to no end of occasions and style in multiple different ways. For the office, pair a leather pencil skirt with a crisp white shirt, tights and heels swapping out to knee high boots and a coloured knit for an evening with friends. On weekends, add a textural element to a casual look with a mini skirt, ankle boots and your favourite wool overcoat.

When it comes to specific styles, there are a huge range of choices this season from some of our favourite designers and across the high street. Black is always a fail-safe choice that will prove to have serious legs in the wardrobe but for those looking to introduce a little more flare to their winter wardrobe, khaki greens and browns are the colours to champion over the coming months.

From pencil to mini, pleated to straight, colourful to classic, here, we round up 10 of these most stylish options to consider for the season ahead – all which could be teamed with trainers, boots, pumps or heels. Prepare to embrace the leather skirt's versatility this winter.
