Long Leather Skirts: The Best Maxi and Column Styles of the Season

A long leather skirt is a skirt cut in leather that falls to the calf, the ankle and sometimes the floor, and this season the strongest versions in our designer leather skirts edit are lean columns and flounced maxis rather than full A-lines. Nour Hammour leads the edit with two new lambskin pieces, the flounced Polina and the croco-embossed Selly, cut high at the waist in Paris.

Below are the long leather skirts we rate this season, the details that separate a good one from a stiff one, and a comparison drawn from each house’s own product information.

How to choose a long leather skirt

The skin. Lambskin nappa is the softest and moves most freely at length; calfskin holds a sharper line. Embossed leather adds texture without changing the cut.

The line. A column skirt falls straight from the waist and needs a vent to walk in. A flounced skirt stays close through the hip, then opens below the knee, which gives movement without bulk at the waist.

The waist. A high waist makes a long skirt easier to wear with a tucked knit and lengthens the leg. Check whether the skirt is lined: an unlined leather skirt drapes more softly, a lined one slides over tights.

How the long leather skirts compare

How we compared: the material is the wording each house uses on its own product page; the size range is read from the live Coveti listing on 6 November 2026. We list no prices because they change by market.

Polina against Selly: the two new Nour Hammour cuts

How we compared: every cell is copied from the Nour Hammour product page (composition, size and fit, care) on 6 November 2026. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell says so; we do not estimate.

Both are made in FR 34 to 44, which is UK 6 to 16, and both fit true to size. Choose Polina for movement at the hem and Selly for a straight, unbroken line.

How to wear a long leather skirt

Keep the top close: a fine knit tucked in, a fitted shirt, a cropped jacket. A long skirt with a long, loose top hides the waist and shortens the leg. In winter, a knee boot under the hem keeps the line clean; in spring, a slingback with bare ankles lightens the leather. For more outfits, see how to style a leather skirt.

Care

Nour Hammour advises dusting leather with a dry cloth between wears and having it cleaned by a leather specialist. Its vegetable tanned skins will show small marks and variations over time, which the house describes as part of the natural material. Hang long skirts by the waistband from clip hangers so the hem does not crease.
