It’s officially midi skirt season, and if you're tired of floral skirts or need to elevate your midi skirt game, then take a leaf out of Kelly Ripa's style book - and switch things up with a leather pleated skirt.
Kelly wore the most perfect of skirts on Wednesday's Live with Kelly and Ryan. Her leather pleated midi was the spot on mix between smart and casual, and could easily be worn with a slub tee and sneakers as it could a silk button down and sky high pumps. Or, like Kelly, a simple sweater would be the ideal accompaniment.

Kelly's gorgeous skirt is by MM6 Maison Margiela, and costs $535; the faux leather skirt features accordion pleats and a high shine finish. She teamed hers with a long-sleeved lightweight sweater from Isabel Marant, tucked in at the waist, and a pair of gold heels to up the glam factor.
