3 Ways To Rock Leather Like A Boss

Fashionistas,

I’m having so many mixed feelings about Fall. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the slight chill in the air and the sudden appearance of all things pumpkin-flavored as much as the next person, but Fall always catches me off-guard at a time when I’m not quite ready to put away my summer favorites just yet. But there is one thing that I am looking forward to in the coming weeks: pulling out a few leather pieces. Incorporating leather into my look instantly upgrades my ensemble with an edgy flair and gives me so much life. I especially love adding on the layers and finding new and unique ways to make them part of my outfit. You can never go wrong with leather add-ons, am I right?

Feeling leather for Fall? Get into three looks that will take your wardrobe to the next level:

1. A Leather Moto Jacket

A closet staple, the leather jacket gets reworked every season and I am so here for it! Pair a graphic dress with a leather moto jacket and ballet flats for a relaxed, downtown vibe. A matching clutch and shades tie the look together.

2. A Leather Skirt

I’ll always have a warm and fuzzy spot in my heart for a leather skirt because it is the ultimate transition item. If you don’t have one in your closet, you’re committing the ultimate fashion sin. Mix in feminine elements with a heart print tee and statement clutch.

3. Leather Boots

Not ready to push those daisy dukes to the back of your closet? Get more wear out of your summer short shorts well into cooler temps with leather knee-high boots. Layer a sleeveless vest for an effortlessly chic look.
