In a luxe, light brown brushed suede, this leather skirt adorns a [large cargo pocket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caligo-pants) with plenty of space. Additional pockets on the behind are great for backup baggage. The Kaufmanfranco Utility Skirt is both practical and stylish with its hybrid design of an [attached pouch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bask-bag). **Implications** - I actually love the way this utility belt skirt looks and would probably wear it even if I didn't require the extra bag space for the day.
