I typically find leather overwhelming, heavy, and too stiff looking to possibly be comfortable. However, this season, we are seeing leather used as accents, and in the most unexpected ways. I’m drawn to the same slouchy sweaters and knit leggings that I have been in the past, but this time with a pop of leather to give it a bit of edge. Mixing the leather with other fabrics and textures keeps it from feeling to stuffy, and keeps you from looking like you’re about to hop on a Harley. Here are a few of my favorites making it onto my wish list this fall.
1. Alice + Olivia Quilted Jacket ($997)
2. BCBGeneration Tweed & Leather Military Jacket ($210)
3. Fit and Flare Dress ($248)
4. Jimmy Choo ‘Anouk Dégradé’ Pump ($750)
5. Merino Leather Pocket Sweater ($158)
6. Alice + Olivia Leather Front Sweater ($396)
7. Rebecca Minkoff Cuff ($58 on sale!)
8. Leather Tuxedo Stripe Pants ($168)
9. Madewell Transport Tote ($168)
