Zara Tindall has once again demonstrated her impeccable fashion credentials, delivering a masterclass in cold-weather elegance during a recent public appearance.
A Racecourse Style Triumph
The royal equestrian was spotted at Cheltenham Racecourse, where she expertly combined bold pieces with winter-ready polish. Her standout choice was a daring leather mini skirt from British brand Hobbs, proving that this edgy staple can be adapted for the chillier months.
Zara styled the skirt with a classic roll neck jumper, creating a balanced silhouette that was both sophisticated and contemporary. The look was anchored by a pair of knee-high suede boots from Fairfax & Favor and her trusted Aspinal of London crossbody bag in navy.
The Statement Outerwear
Completing the ensemble was a truly eye-catching element: a striking teal coat from Karen Millen. This vibrant layer provided a brilliant pop of colour against the winter backdrop and showcased how to elevate a leather skirt outfit from daytime casual to race-ready glamour.
This look serves as a perfect example of the leather skirt's versatility. As a wardrobe staple, it can be dressed up or down seamlessly. For a casual yet chic approach, follow Zara's lead with a cosy knit and boots. For evening wear, pair it with a delicate blouse and heels.
Shop The Look and Alternatives
While Zara's exact Hobbs skirt has now sold out due to high demand, the high street offers numerous chic alternatives. Fashion editors have rounded up the best options for every budget.
Key pieces to shop include:
