Loving Leather

Faux leather has made its debut into the fashion world- it's no longer just for motorcyclists. Designers like Rachel Zoe and Rebecca Taylor introduces this new look at New York Fashion Week a while back, and made it clear that this trend isn't temporary- you can wear it all the way through the spring. So it's definitely worth investing in!

This look is perfect for the winter because it looks best in dark colors, typically black, green and maroon. Skirts, tops (be selective in styles...), jackets and side bags are the best items to wear in leather.

Leather jackets are probably the first piece that come to mind when you think of leather. Pair it with jeans and ankle boots (biker boots will really bring out the inner rebel in you!) for an edgier look, or wear it with a dress.

If you wear the look right, you can even make room for it in the work-attire, pair a feminine leather skirt with a blouse or a form-fitting blazer. Keep the leather to a minimum though. You don't want to show off too much an edgy look for work- save it for a night out or on the weekends.

So whether your style is classy, edgy, or somewhere in between, there is a perfect leather item that will fit your wardrobe. This trend is bound to spice up any outfit!
