Leather Faux or No?

In my opinion, real always wins when it comes to leather. It’s a worthy investment, and it will be with you for years, it may even outlive some relationships.

Here are my top 5 favourite ways to wear leather and where to get it:

1. Leather skirt – opt for an A-line leather skirt in a dark charcoal or black that falls just below the knee. Team it with a feminine lace blouse and finish with a pair of stilettos or a lace up detail heel or wedge for a bit of extra attitude.

Try the White Suede Ultra Leather Skirt RRP $339.00

2. Leather pants – these can take you from the office to after work drinks in just a few steps, wear with a plain tee and a structured jacket in a bold colour for a great work-chic look.

Try the Camilla and Marc Wireless Legging RRP $799.00

3. Leather dress – A leather dress is a great wardrobe investment that can easily be worn throughout the year. A tunic silhouette is flattering and timeless.

Try the Saint Laurent Classic Plonge Leather Dress RRP $3738

4. Leather jacket – A cropped, close-fitting leather jacket will create the perfect sophisticated look. Wear this with jeans and a long sleeve tee knit when the colder months begin to hit, and finish with a wool scarf. Otherwise, wear this over a chic cocktail dress for some extra style.

Try the Helmut Lang Wither Leather Jacket RRP$1510

5. Leather short – Tailored leather mid-thigh shorts are sexy without being too saucy. Wear them with a pair of strappy sandals or ankle boots. In winter, team with a black opaque tight and this season’s must-have shoe, a metallic brogue.
