I find that the best style for a leather skirt is the one just above the knee. Too short a skirt and it will make you look sludgy; too long and you will drown in it. Just a few centimeters above or under the knee are the ideal lengths for leather pencil skirts.

Usually leather skirts are for casual wear teamed up with a sweater of soft material it looks great. The best colors are of course black, burgundy, brown, copper and milk. Although worn correctly -like in the photo under-, a red leather skirt can look very classy and elegant.
