Leather skirt

My friend bought one many years ago in her fifties (she’s got the legs) but it tended to squeak inappropriately every time she sat on a leather settee/chair and everyone seems to have gone for leather suites in the last 30 years!

She still wears it in winter with opaque black tights and ankle boots when she comes to see me and says it’s the only time as my suite is cloth!

Oh, you are making me jealous! envy
I had a look on Pinterest for you, but most were young ladies in short skirts.
Not a good look for us, methinks! grin
Both ankle and long would be great, go for it.

Marydoll, Thankyou, I do have black polo neck and lots of long necklaces , that's one look , was thinking about boots ankle or knee length , don't want to look like The Avenger lady ,, ! With thick black tights

Good for you! Enjoy wearing it.

I have seen them styled with a polo neck jumper and a long necklace.

I have bought a nice faux leather black skirt, I have wanted to wear one for a long time , so first question is am I too old at 72 years but I think I am trendy and try to keep up with fashion , secondly what is the best way to style this and still look classy , it's a pencil skirt and sits just below my knee, Any tips please
