Red Faux Leather Cage Skirt Harness

This cage skirt harness is built from horizontal and vertical red faux leather straps, each approximately 2.5 cm wide, riveted together at every intersection with silver metal studs to form a structured grid that falls from the waist to mid-calf length. It wears as an over-skirt layering piece rather than a standalone garment — the open cage construction intentionally leaves the body visible beneath it.

Cage Strap Construction

Unlike a solid skirt or simple belt harness, the cage silhouette here comes from a framework of straps that hold their shape even when worn loosely. Silver-tone metal rivets lock each strap crossing, preventing the grid from shifting during movement. The side panels feature a lace-up adjustment so the cage can be tightened or loosened for a precise fit.

• Strap width approximately 2.5 cm, wide enough for visibility without excessive bulk
• Silver metal rivets at every grid intersection, not just decorative — they structurally fix the straps
• Lace-up closure on both sides allows waist adjustment of roughly 60-90 cm
• Cage length falls to approximately mid-calf (roughly 60-65 cm from waistband) on a 165 cm frame
• Waistband is approximately 5 cm wide with a flat profile that sits cleanly over high-waisted bottoms

Occasion and Outfit Styling

The red cage skirt works best as a statement layering piece in editorial, festival, or avant-garde casual contexts rather than everyday office wear — its open construction means underwear or shorts worn beneath it will always be visible, which is part of the intended aesthetic.

• Layer over a white fitted bodysuit (as styled in product photography) for a clean contrast look
• Pair with a black satin slip dress underneath and ankle boots to offset the bold red straps
• Wear over opaque cycling shorts and a crop top for a festival-appropriate outfit where leg coverage is not a concern
• Works with both flat sandals and heeled boots — the mid-calf length reads differently at each heel height

Sizing and Fit Notes

Because the cage is constructed from individual straps rather than a woven or knit fabric, it does not stretch — fit depends entirely on the lace-up side adjustment. Waist 60-90 cm is the functional range; above 90 cm the lacing will run out of length and the grid spacing will look uneven. The cage length is fixed at approximately 60-65 cm from the waistband, so on very petite frames under 155 cm it may reach below the knee.

• Adjustable waist range: 60-90 cm via lace-up sides
• Fixed length: approximately 60-65 cm from waistband to hem
• Not suitable for waist measurements above 90 cm — strap spacing will distort
• Best fit on heights 155-175 cm for intended mid-calf proportions

Faux Leather Material and Care

The straps are cut from smooth-finish faux leather (PU-coated fabric) — the surface has a slight sheen that reads as leather in photographs and under event lighting without the weight or stiffness of genuine hides. This also means it is more affordable, but the trade-off is lower breathability compared to natural materials and a slightly plastic-adjacent texture on direct skin contact for extended wear.

• Outer: PU faux leather, smooth matte-gloss finish, red colorway
• Hardware: silver-tone metal rivets, non-tarnishing alloy
• Care: wipe clean with a damp cloth only — do not machine wash or submerge
• Store flat or hung to prevent permanent creasing in the strap grid
• Trade-off: PU surface can scuff at strap edges with heavy daily use — best reserved for occasional wear
