Trending this fall season is leather! Skirts, shorts, dresses, and more! Leather has branched out from handbags and boots, and is now featured in clothing in many different ways. Leather skater skirts and high-waisted shorts are the main ways I have seen leather incorporated into outfits. But I have also seen a leather dress as well as a leather peplum top. There is no denying that leather is in and here to stay. If you’re hesitant on how to incorporate leather into your wardrobe beyond your accessories, start slow. A leather skater skirt is one of the easiest ways to participate in this trend.

You can pair a black leather skater skirt with a simple button-up blouse, tights and boots as shown below.

 

As for leather shorts, wear a light denim shirt with studded loafers as shown below.

 

Leather is also perfect for the fall because it is a sturdy but fashionable fabric. It can be dressed up or down. You can style your leather clothing to class or dress it up for a date night. The options are endless for how you can wear leather in your wardrobe! Check out stores like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, H&M and more for leather fashion finds.
