The Leather Edit

The Fabric of the Season: Leather

Loving leather this season? Me too! Whether you prefer faux or can afford the real deal, leather is trend that we just can’t get enough of.

Your wardrobe wouldn't look right this season without a bit of leather included in it. Leather is extremely versatile, making it a great fabric to transition into fall with. Here are some ways I have been working leather into my fall wardrobe.

Outfit Details

Fluffy grey and beige cardigan - River Island
Navy Blue Striped Shirt - Thrifted


Leather Jackets

I think I have a leather jacket in nearly every colour; they are great for pairing with a dress on a night out. I have paired my oxblood coloured faux leather jacket with my favourite piece of clothing disco pants. However, a statement leather jacket would look good with black jeans, a black dress or you could double up the colour to really stand out. The monochrome look is back this fall, so pair a black leather jacket with a white dress and some black flat forms which could be adapted for a day or evening outfit.






Over the Knee Leather Boots
I recently purchased these suede/leather mix over-the-knee boots from a small second-hand designer boutique in Leamington Spa. Originally from Next you can find a pair of black over the knee leather boots in pretty much every high street shop at the moment.  I have included a link above to some gorgeous Missguided heeled over-the-knee boots. I have paired mine with a black leather miniskirt, crop top and woolly cardigan however they look great with leggings, dresses and skinny jeans.






Leather Skirts and Shorts
Leather skirts and shorts can be paired with a big woolly knitted jumper this season. I have recently purchased a large burgundy knitted jumper; it is so cosy and warm. However, here I have styled my leather skirt with a stripy navy shirt (which are also making a come-back this season), my mohair knee-length cardigan featured in my previous post and my favourite shoes at the moment, black wedges. Now it is getting a bit colder you can pair your over-sized woolly jumper and leather skirt with black tights pairing these with some bright pumps or loafers to add a bit of colour to your outfit.
