Listen up ladies, leather is not just for the hard-core biker chick anymore. Leather is the hottest trend this fall, and I am going to show you some different ways to incorporate it into your wardrobe.
One, leather is easier to wear than you think; you just have to give it a try. Two, because leather is such a big trend this fall, many stores are designing cheaper faux leather articles of clothing. And three, all of the pictures below are faux leather. Therefore, no animal was harmed to make you look stylish.
Leather shorts:
Leather shorts are perfect for the warm Fall nights when you are too hot to wear pants. Leather shorts can be worn for a night out, but you can also throw on a cotton tank and sweater, and you are ready for class.
Leather pants:
Realistically, who wants to be in hot tight leather pants all night? That’s why my favorite faux leather pants trend of the season is coated jeans; they are so much more comfortable and durable than leather but still have that same shiny and edgy look. Plus, coated jeans are everywhere, meaning they are cheap (which is music to all of our ears). Is black not your thing? Well, you are in luck; coated jeans come in almost every color! Try Express, Zara, Shop Bop and Nordstrom for this look.
Leather jackets:
Leather jackets are the perfect way to make any outfit more exciting. Throw it over a dress for going out or pair it with jeans for class. Of course, the classic black leather jacket is a statement needed for any closet. But, my new favorite is the khaki leather jacket. It is a mix between bad girl style and preppy and fancy.
Fashion leather warnings:
1. Do not match leather on leather.
2. Do not buy leather items online. They can look a lot different in the pictures than in real life.
3. Let the leather be the focus of your outfit. Do not overdo it with lots of other accessories or sparkles.
4. Be prepared to receive a lot of compliments.
