To Splurge or Save: Leather Pieces

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tufts chapter.

Leather adds the perfect little punch to any outfit in your wardrobe. Leather is something to splurge on. Treat yourself Collegiette–it’s worth it! On a student’s budget, sometimes it’s best to mix and match pricey with more reasonably priced finds. Here you’ll find a blend of everything leather at all prices.

1.     The Leather Jacket

This is a MUST. It’s warm, edgy and flat out sexy. Below is a beautiful piece by Vince, the Vintage Leather Moto Jacket. But the price is steep, $995.00- definitely a worthy piece to use for your splurge. If you want something like this but not that price tag, Urban Outfitters makes a great Quilted Vegan Leather Moto Jacket for $59. Hey- PETA would approve.

2.     The Leather Pants

Can you say, ah-mazing! I love, love, love leather pants.  They look fabulous on, and they add a pop to any outfit. J-Brand has a great lambskin leather pair- definitely a splurge at a price point of $1,076- but how can a girl resist- they’re BEAUTIFUL. Want to squeeze into a pair of these bad boys but also save a few (hundred) bucks? Madewell has an awesome pair of vegan leather leggings for $98!

3.     The Leather Shirt

The leather shirt has found a place in my heart this season. I think a good leather shirt can really pull together an outfit. Acne’s Silk-Trim Leather Tank is totally gorgeous and worth the $1600 price tag. The shirt looks great with super skinny pants, making the ultimate outfit. I also love the BCBG Flo Tank with Side Panels that goes for a more wallet friendly price, $138.

Leather can make an outfit go from blah to BAM! Sometimes it’s worth the splurge but there are also more affordable options if you love leather but can’t go all out on a pair of pants. Hope this helps make your fall wardrobe a little more stocked and a little more fun!
