Autumn reignites a focus on refinement – and the leather skirt takes center stage this season. Zimmermann, Givenchy, and Khaite present a fresh take on the familiar: leather emerges as the prominent fabric, and the silhouettes exude both femininity and assurance. The contemporary skirt for the autumn-winter 2025/2026 period is a harmony of texture, form, and sentiment. However, even the ideal style falters without complementary footwear. Vogue.ua explored appropriate shoe pairings for a leather skirt this autumn, curating five styles to assist in crafting a striking appearance.
Leather midi skirt + heels

The intellectual allure of this season manifests through slightly deconstructed forms that embody a renewed sense of womanhood. In the autumn-winter 2025/2026 collections, the essential pieces are shirts and leather midi skirts with “worn” finishes. The optimal addition is classic high heels that impart a subtle sophistication.
Leather pleated skirt + cowboy boots
Tanya Taylor
Tanya Taylor revitalizes a staple by pairing a pleated wine-colored leather skirt with cowboy boots. The resulting style is unexpectedly chic, yet understated – precisely what’s needed for contemporary elegance.
Leather skirt with slit + mules
Schiaparelli
Schiaparelli proposes pointed mules with ornate straps – the very picture of allure and elevation. These blend seamlessly with a leather midi skirt featuring a slit and three golden belts, together with a knitted sweater that softens the look’s intensity.
High-waisted leather skirt + high-heeled ballet flats
Givenchy
Givenchy parts ways with the idea of the “little black dress,” favoring a structured, almost architectural ensemble: a high-waisted black leather skirt, a shirt with sleeves rolled up, and red ballet flats – an unusual yet flawless pairing.
Structured leather miniskirt + loafers
Zimmermann
Zimmermann reaffirms that sophistication does not necessitate high heels. Level, comfortable loafers in warm tones provide equilibrium to a combination of a voluminous leather miniskirt and a snake-patterned blouse. Elegant simplicity that permits experimentation with textures.
