Muted, dark, pastel colors are always relevant. Maroon, brown, purple and other dark colors should be left for the evening.
Leather and water
First of all, the question arises of how to wash a faux leather skirt. It is strictly forbidden to wash leather items in a typewriter, regardless of whether they are made of genuine or artificial leather. All that can be obtained in this way is a spoiled shapeless rag. In case of contamination, simply wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth or sponge, sometimes a little soap or a harmless detergent should be added.

How to get rid of extra wrinkles?
Anyone who has packed a leather dress or skirt knows that getting them out of a suitcase can be completely wrinkled in many places. Before ironing a faux leather skirt, make sure it is completely dry. It should be ironed on low power, using a napkin or a clean piece of cloth, like silk between leather and iron. Alternatively, you can use the classic hot shower trick. You should hang your clothes in the bathroom while you take a shower, the hot steam will rise and smooth out unnecessary wrinkles. After that, the skirt is placed on a piece of fabric, another one is covered on top. Then a heavy object, such as a book, is placed on top.
Store your leather goods on padded hangers, covered with a sheet or clothing bag. Avoid plastic bags as they don't allow clothing to breathe and can promote mold and odor. Store only in a dark, dry place. Sunlight will harden the skin, which may cause cracks.
