Who doesn't own a leather skirt these days? Once the preserve of barmaids, leather has been fully accepted into our wardrobes. 

For Spring leather has been given a new lease of life - in a palette of pastel shades that range from caramels and butterscotch to lemons and pistachios. Sounds delicious doesn't it? 

And although leather has traditionally been a high-ticket buy, the high street has come up trumps affording us the luxury of being much more frivolous with our leather purchases. Top marks go to River Island for their great textured white leather skirt (£120), and also to & Other Stories for their great fluted skirt shape (£145). 

Pair your pastel leather skirt with a simple silk or cotton t-shirt, or with a round-neck cashmere jumper in the office. Pastel on pastel looks great, but equally white or metallics (silver not gold) mix in well. View the gallery to see which leather skirts made out top 20.
