Womens High Waisted Pure Black Leather Midi Length Skirt
A high-waisted midi skirt is one of the most proportion-sensitive garments there is: the waistband sits high and the hem sits low, so the two together decide the whole line. Getting the footwear right matters as much as getting the size right. It sits in our women leather skirts range.

The midi length problem, and how footwear solves it
A midi hem lands at the widest part of the calf, which is the least flattering place a hemline can end for most people. That is not a reason to avoid midis — it is a reason to think about what happens below the hem. A heel, even a low block one, lifts the ankle and lengthens the visible leg so the hem reads as deliberate. A knee boot works because the boot shaft meets the hem and there is no bare gap at all. A flat ankle boot works when the skirt is slightly shorter, ending above the widest calf point. What generally does not work is a low flat shoe with a full midi length, where the leg is visually cut in half.
Why the high waist matters here
With a longer skirt, the waistband is what gives the eye a reference point. High-waisted means the visible leg line starts higher, which offsets the low hem. It also means a fitted leather skirt stays put — a high band grips at the narrowest part of the torso, where leather, having no stretch, has something to hold on to.
Length is personal
Midi is defined relative to your own leg, not by an absolute number. On someone tall it may hit mid-calf; on someone shorter it can reach the ankle. If you are notably tall or short, send the length you want from waist to hem with the Custom option — it is the single measurement most worth specifying on this style.
Care and storage
Dry cloth only. Never machine wash; use a leather specialist rather than an ordinary dry cleaner. Hang by the waistband loops — a long leather skirt folded over a hanger bar sets a crease across the front that will not come out.
Sizing and made to order
Order by natural waist measurement and send hip and length with the Custom option. Sizes run XS to 5XL plus Custom, and every skirt is cut after your order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shoes work with a midi skirt?
A heel or a knee boot. A low flat shoe with a full midi length tends to cut the leg visually.
Where will the hem fall on me?
Midi is relative to your own leg — mid-calf on someone tall, lower on someone shorter. Specify the length with the Custom option.
Why high waisted?
It lifts the visible leg line to offset the low hem, and it stops a fitted leather skirt sliding down.
Is the skirt lined?
Yes, which is what stops leather sticking to skin or tights.
How should I store it?
Hanging by the waistband loops. Folding sets a permanent crease.
Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes. Choose Custom and send waist, hip, and length.
Is shipping free?
Yes, free worldwide shipping and secure checkout.
