Why Faux Leather Skirts and Denim Belong in Your Closet!

Hey, Fashion Besties!

Today’s look is all about denim and faux leather.

Are you looking for wardrobe staples that never go out of style? Well, look no further than faux leather and denim. Faux leather and denim are versatile and stylish fabrics that can be combined in many ways to create trendy looks. A denim jacket and a faux leather skirt equal a classic combination that never goes out of style. They’re both staple pieces that should be a part of your wardrobe.

These two classic pieces are must-haves for any fashion-forward individual. Whether you’re dressing up or dressing down, these two staples will never steer you wrong. Denim and faux leather can be styled in many ways to fit your personal style.

The key to styling denim and faux leather is to experiment with different combinations until you find what works for you. Have fun and don’t be afraid to try new things. Fashion is always fun when you personalize your look to represent who you are.

With this look, I was going for more of a street-style vibe.

About the Skirt:


This faux leather super high-waisted faux leather midi skirt is from Express. It comes in two colors, pitch black and bullion with sizes ranging from xs-xl. It’s super high-waisted, with an elastic waistband which makes it easy to pull on and off. As you can see, it has a side slit and its midi length. Definitely on trend this season.

I love how the skirt fits, it’s soft and very comfortable. My only issue with this skirt is the lining bunches, other than that, I love how it hugs my nonvisible curves.

So go ahead and add some faux leather and denim to your closet ASAP – you won’t regret it!

Why Faux Leather and Denim Belong in Your Closet:

Faux leather and denim are timeless pieces. They’re both classic materials that never go out of style. A versatile fabric that can be worn in a variety of ways, making it a staple in any wardrobe.

Faux leather is a great way to add texture and edge to any outfit.

Faux leather can be dressed up or down. You can wear it with a casual t-shirt and sneakers for a more laid-back look, or dress it up with a blouse and heels for a night out.

Unlike real leather, faux leather is more lightweight and flexible, making it more comfortable to wear. It also does not require a break-in period like real leather does.

Faux leather is more affordable than real leather, making it a great option for those on a budget who still want to achieve a fashionable look.

Faux leather is a more sustainable and ethical option compared to real leather. By choosing faux leather, you can help reduce the demand for animal leather and promote ethical fashion.

WHAT I’M WEARING: 

Skirt | Super High Waisted Faux Leather Side Slit Midi Skirt

Jackey | Belted Medium Wash Denim Jacket

Top | Boys In The Hood Graphic Tee

Boots | Stretch Over The Knee Boots

Outfit check….The gray midi skirt has been in heavy rotation that  as it should’ve been. There’s something about pairing a vintage graphic tee with a sleek skirt that just hits different. I tucked it in, threw on these chunky sneakers, grabbed my hoops and walked out the door. Some days the outfit just comes together effortlessly and you FEEL it. No overthinking, just vibes. This is that “I woke up and chose style” kind of day.  #fashionstyledetroit #ootd #outfitcheck

I almost forgot I had this set and that is a CRIME against fashion loll, but I finally pulled it out and I am loving it real bad! This is the Fe Noel x Target collab from a few years back, worn for a photoshoot and never again… until today. Paired it with my Daniel’s Leather moto jacket I’ve had for 12+ years, my Brandon Blackwood bag, and some Express shoes I also forgot I owned. Fashion Besties, the closet always provides…

Nobody talks about this part of getting dressed…
Great outfits don’t just happen. You build them — piece by piece, color by color, detail by detail. As a petite girl I had to figure this out on my own. Now I’m sharing everything. Petite Besties, we’re doing this together.

Hey Petite Besties! I wasn’t expecting to fall in love today… but then this @Fabletics pleated skirt set happened. It’s navy. It’s pleated. And it’s giving sporty chic energy. Oh….and it’s fitting my 5’1” frame like it was literally MADE for me. This is the go-to set you didn’t know you needed. You’re welcome.

No one is going to hype up petite girls like I will so let me do my job bestie. Because baby…I used to think midi dresses were just not built for girls like us. Too long, too much fabric, too overwhelming, I was convinced  it would be too much on my small frame. And then THIS dress showed up and completely changed my life. The seaming does the work, the pleats give the movement, and the leopard booties just completed the look. And the pop of color of part of my personal style.
