Front Silver Zip Fastening Black Leather Shorts Skirt for Women
This is a shorts skirt — a skort — which reads as a skirt from the front and has a shorts panel behind it. It is a genuinely practical garment rather than a novelty, and the front silver zip runs the full length as both fastening and design line. It sits in our women leather skirts range.

Why a skort solves a real problem
A short leather skirt restricts movement and requires constant attention when you sit, get in and out of a car, or dance. A skort keeps the look of the skirt and removes all of that, because the shorts panel underneath means the skirt front is free to move. It is why the design has been standard in sportswear for decades and why it works particularly well in leather, a material that has no stretch and therefore restricts more than fabric does.
The front zip
A full-length front zip does two things. It lets the garment open completely flat, which matters on a material you cannot pull over your hips. And it draws a hard vertical line down the centre, which is the strongest design feature on an otherwise plain black piece. Silver hardware against black leather reads cool and graphic rather than warm.
Looking after the zip
A long zip in a high-movement seam takes real strain, so treat it properly: store the garment fully zipped, and run candle wax or a zip lubricant along the teeth once a year so the slider does not drag. Dragging is what splits teeth. A worn slider can normally be replaced on its own rather than the whole zip.
Wearing it
Plain top, plain boots or trainers. The zip is the detail, so nothing else needs hardware. Tights work underneath in colder months.
