I Want to Cover Myself in Leather This Fall—7 Outfits That'll Convince You, Too
I’ve always loved the look of polished leather pieces and still remember saving up to buy my first leather jacket in high school. While that was the only way I was wearing leather back then, leather pieces have now become a mainstay in my wardrobe. Yep, my closet includes everything from blazers to trench coats to bustier tops in leather and vegan leather versions. It seems that fashion insiders also share my affinity for the sleek items and are wearing them in an array of styles.
Looking to the fashion set, we’re seeing them covering themselves in leather in a wide range of ways this fall. I’m particularly drawn to matching sets with coordinating strapless tops and trousers, as well as the oversize proportions that feel fresh this season. If you’re looking for inspiration for how to wear fall leather outfits, scroll ahead. Oh, and there’s plenty of shopping finds for you to add to your cart.
The Leather Trousers
Leather pants have always been a fashion insider staple. In years past, though, tight styles were most popular but now looser, trouser-like versions are winning out.
