OP is talking about the WP app, not desktop/Metro.

I think your only option is the desktop app as you can see the username in the profile under skype name.

Some of my users have not been set friendly names, thus i can see their skype name. This is on Windows Phone 8.1 DP.
I remember with WP7 i used to be able to see the skype name, not any more in contacts.

I think even that's not possible. It's really frustrating that you can't check a user's username details in win 8.1 desktop app.
