A trendy twist on the classic black mini.

A black mini skirt is a staple in any college girl’s wardrobe, and, while this goes-with-everything piece can be worn with just about anything, sometimes, it’s nice to shake things up a little bit.

Enter the black faux leather mini skirt: Just like the classic black mini skirt, this surprisingly versatile piece can be worn with almost anything.  

Its material also lends a little bit of edge to any outfit, and instantly makes you look stylish and put-together.     

Keep scrolling to see leather mini skirt outfits, one for now, and one for colder temperatures:

Wear It Now – Leather Mini Skirt Outfit for Fall

Products: Skirt – Nordstrom (cheaper version here), T-Shirt – Madewell, Jacket – H&M, Earrings – Nordstrom, Bracelet – Bloomingdale’s, Choker – Bloomingdale’s, Bag – Bloomingdale’s, Loafers – Lord & Taylor

This dressed-down look is perfect for cool fall days, and can be worn in a variety of different situations, from class to hanging out with friends.  

To get the look, tuck this adorable slogan t-shirt into the faux leather skirt to show off the skirt’s paper bag waist.

Next, add a motorcycle jacket in a cozy wool fabric. (Note: I’d avoid wearing a [faux] leather jacket with this skirt, as leather on top of leather can be a little too much!)

A pair of thick-soled muted metallic loafers adds serious style cred to the look, while a trendy patent bag adds some contrast in texture.  

Accessorize with a cute pair of heart stud earrings, an elegant gold choker, and a cool gold bracelet with a chain to add to the romantic-yet-edgy vibe of the look.  

Wear It Later – Leather Mini Skirt Outfit for Winter

Products: Skirt – Nordstrom (cheaper version here), Necklace – Sole Society, Earrings – Saks 5th Avenue, Tights – Lord & Taylor, Tank Top – J.Crew, Ankle Boots – Hollister, Bracelet – Shopbop, Jacket – Zara, Lipstick – Macy’s, Bag – Forever 21

This luxe all-black ensemble is a great option for when temperatures really start to drop, and would also be a super-cool holiday party look! 

To recreate it for yourself, tuck a beautiful black velvet tank top into the skirt, and put on a pair of super-opaque black tights. 

Throw on a warm and stylish black faux fur jacket, grab a timeless quilted cross-body bag, and put on a pair of black ankle boots with a thick heel for an extra dose of cool.  

Accessorize with feminine jewelry, such as these round crystal stud earrings, lariat necklace, and fun lip charm bracelet.  

Swipe on some bright red lipstick for a daring pop of color, and your look is complete!
