You may be wondering how I pulled this one out of the hat as a fashion trend for Fall, but leather is making a debut in brand new ways in the upcoming season as a true fashion trend.
Leather is going far beyond the belts and bags found in most fashionistas closets to the realm of tops, leggings, capes, vests, and yes even underwear. From aviation-inspired (like the full leather jumpsuit seen on the runway of Hermes) to bondage-esque (like the corsets spotted on the Yves-Saint Laurent runway), leather is king for fall. This trend works best when you choose a monochromatic color combination of leather pieces in earth tones and neutrals.
Black is a safe and classic choice especially if embracing some of the trend’s more daring pieces, such as leather hotpants, leather leggings, and leather underwear. If you want a softer, look even if you choose to wear head to toe leather, stick with worn or vintage leather in a soft palette to give you a less intimidating and more classic versus fetish/rocker look. Be on the look out for the emergence of grey leather pieces.
Lesson Learned? Leather is back in a new way in head-to-toe pieces this Fall and can be interpreted in everything from classic vintage to fetish to rocker. The use of color in earth tones or black will greatly determine the impact of your leather clothing options.
