When seeking out the season’s hottest new trends, the runways aren’t the only place to source sartorial inspiration. The street style scene spotted in between each show is equally as inspiring—it’s also just as telling of fashion’s future. Among the top trends spotted during the most recent fashion month, we couldn’t help but notice a slew of sleek leather midiskirts worn time and again by some of fashion’s chicest insiders. The embrace of shin-grazing hemlines comes as no surprise, given that for the past few seasons, many brands, like Bottega Veneta and Miu Miu, have called upon the prim-and-proper quality of retro midi silhouettes. For fall 2023 however, some leather midiskirts err on the edgier side, courtesy of Cos, Marant Étoile, Rag & Bone, while others are simply tailored-to-perfection. Â
