Leather is an automatic given for fall. Surprisingly, many young ladies are scared to try out a leather piece because of the edgy/biker look that it gives off, but this season it’s time to try something new and different! Leather pieces will keep you on trend and warm for the cooler weather this fall. Take one step into the pool of all the leather possibilities. You can start off slow testing out the leather trend with a feminine faux leather skirt. With numerous color options available this season, from maroon, hunter green, berry to pale pink, it’s never been a better time to make your first leather purchase. A perfect outfit using a leather skirt would be to pair it with a plaid flannel, black tights, and a gold belt.

Leather can be paired with practically anything when it comes to leather jackets. When you are on the go and need something to keep you warm, put some style into your outfit with a versatile black leather jacket. If you feel like being bold and stand out, pick a colored leather jacket like maroon, blue or a red, which is really in this fall. The textual contrast it adds to an ensemble is a great way to show off that you know a little something about style and are up to date with that chic look. For a casual edgy look try pairing your jacket with an oversized white tee and nylon leggings. For a sweeter take, go with an above the knee drop waist dress and flats.

If you are looking for something dressy for a date or just a night out with the girls a leather dress should be at the top of your list! A leather dress is the perfect standout piece this fall and is easily dressed up or down. It’s flirty, sexy and without a doubt will help you catch the eye of that cute guy you’ve been crushing on. If you go with a black leather dress pair it with some bold red lips and a standout jewelry piece, like a bracelet, or go for a maroon or a mustard, if you can pull it off, shade leather dress. The mustard colored dress would look perfect with a deep purple lip color.

Leggings. Every girl loves a pair of leggings for those days you want to be comfortable, but still dressed to impress. Take leggings to the next level! No, not those galaxy or crazy colored leggings, but leather leggings that hug your body. Pair it with an oversized sweater for that cute cozy look on those colder days or dress it up with a white tee and a black blazer. When it comes to what shoes to wear with your leather pants, I don’t see any possibilities being ruled out. Explore your closet and other stores to find the perfect look for your newest investment of some leather leggings.

There are so many leather options! Leather jackets, color block leather tees, leather t-shirts, wool-black leather sweatshirts, leather peplum tops, leather shorts, leather skirts, leather leggings, leather dresses, or just as simple as leather handbags. Wow, I said leather a lot! That just shows how many awesome pieces leather has taken over this fall. Once you start purchasing your faux leather accessories and clothing pieces you won’t be able to stop. Simple leather-like statements will make a huge impact in your wardrobe. This fashion trend is worth every penny because in all honesty this trend has been around and shows no sign of dying anytime soon.
