We’ve taken a look at the biggest trends for fall/winter and we’re excited to see the return of leather . This season it’s been given an ultra feminine makeover, and is no longer venturing along the lines of biker chic and Goth.
Expect to see ultra short leather shorts, leather leggings and of course the leather jackets coming into play during the fall and winter. Leather is the perfect material for those grey months, and as well as being luxurious and stylish, it’s also practical, helping to keep you warm and dry.
Leather is an easy trend to follow and can easily work with everyone’s personal style or taste, plus it looks great on all body types. Accessories of course shouldn’t be overlooked and you can expect to see handbags in various colors and textures. Besides the traditional brown and black leather, you’ll also find darker hues of scarlet, royal blue and purple to add a hint of color to your wardrobe. Watch out for a mix of leather and lace, even leather handbags are given feminine lace details.
My handbag style of choice will be the envelope clutch – great for nights out and big enough to carry everything with you. Another choice is the satchel which will be making a comeback for the winter months as well – this trend lends itself well to leather and is a good investment for a piece to see you through several seasons.
