Leather Lust

The further into cooler months we get, the more lackadaisical we get with our wardrobe choices. It becomes simple to throw on jeans or leggings and run out the door. Looking for a way to dress things up? Look beyond the LBD! Love your leather this fall and embrace this edgy trend! Though it has become increasingly trendy over the past year, you might not realize that it has always been a key part to any stylish woman's closet: from shoes to bags to jackets, consider leather the pre-requisite to chic!

Look past your traditional leather pieces and incorporate this versatile material into your fall wardrobe. It's highly versatile and can be done in so many color and silhouettes, and it looks great paired with nearly every other fabric. If you dare to take on the leather trend in full force, opt for pieces such as a leather pencil skirt, pants, a cropped moto jacket, or the sultry leather dress! If you choose one of these major pieces, let that be all the statement leather within the ensemble. No need to pair leather boots or or a stack leather on leather. The exception is with smaller accessories such as a leather clutch or gloves. Don't let the material become overwhelming.

If you are hesitant to wear full-on leather, remember that it's all in the details. You can wear a piece that simply has leather detailing, such as a top with leather sleeves or a jacket piped in leather. We are seeing many combination pieces that incorporate your wearable cotton with leather accents. If you are worried that the leather is too edgy, soften it with light-weight fabrics such as a silk blouse. As always, you can accessorize in leather with a leather wrap bracelet, leather gloves, or even a leather headband to keep up with the trend. Love your leather this season and learn to rock it for fall and into winter!
