Black Faux-Leather Side-Slit Skirt

A black skirt can become the focal point through surface and cut rather than colour

A black skirt can become the focal point through surface and cut rather than colour. This side-slit design combines a pencil-skirt styling direction with a faux-leather finish.

Design and material details

Polyester, elastane and faux leather are named without percentages. Slight stretch and side-slit styling are specified.

Give familiar tops a different partner

Begin with a plain shirt, fine knit or simple tee and let the skirt set the direction of the outfit. A shorter upper layer leaves more of the waist area visible, while a longer untucked top produces a different proportion. Neither approach requires adding another strong pattern. Choose a compact bag and uncomplicated footwear first, then introduce jewellery only where you want an extra point of interest. For a more coordinated look, repeat one colour from the lower half in a small accessory rather than trying to match every item from head to toe.

Use proportion rather than extra decoration

An interesting outline can carry an outfit without another print or a large piece of jewellery. Compare how the garment sits alongside the lengths and volumes you already wear: a closer-fitting companion creates one balance, while another relaxed piece creates a different one. Keep the first combination simple, then add one accessory at a time. This makes it easier to decide which details you want to emphasise. The photographed outfit is a starting point, not an instruction to buy matching items or expect accompanying shoes, bags and jewellery to arrive with the garment.

Choose the fit for your plans

Consider where you want the waist to sit, then compare both waist and hip room before choosing a size. Overall length also matters because the same garment can fall at a different point on different heights. Use the labelled chart where one is provided and distinguish a recommended body range from a garment measurement. For a closer outline, check the room you need when sitting as well as standing. Stretch wording alone is not a reason to choose a smaller size. If a key dimension is missing, ask for that measurement before ordering.

Size options shown in the selector: XS, XXL, XL, L, M, S. Select the option you require; the selector labels are not additional body measurements.

Care and outfit planning

Follow the care label supplied with the garment for washing, drying and storage. Do not choose a cleaning method from the appearance alone. Review the selected design and size together, and check which garment is described rather than assuming accompanying styling pieces are included.
