Known FiFi Fact: I love leather.
I’m always throwing on a leather skirt, leather pants or leggins.
Even a leather Tee.  Wore a white leather tee for a few summers till it fell apart.
Must be clear it doesn’t have to be authentic leather.
It can be pleather or leatherette or faux.
Doesn’t matter it all looks chic now.
(Sometimes pleather is actually great in summer because it’s not too hot).
One of the reasons I love leather is that it adds an edge and interesting texture.
It’s a much more modern way to inject a little joosh into your wardrobe.
You know who you are: when desperate to update your wardrobe you rush out and buy florals and frills. WRONG. AGEING. DAGGY. TRICKY.
I say instead invest in a few leather pieces.
They’re sexy and sophisticated and it’s all the fashion frou frou you need.
Fashion tip: Don’t wear leather that’s too tight. That’s scary as you get older.
Stick to looser pants.
Or crop culottes. They are everywhere.
I’ve been living in my pleather culottes all summer and winter.
If you do throw on a tight leather skirt or leggins make sure you also wear a slouchy oversized sweater, blazer or Tee. You need something loose to make it modern.
The best reason to wear leather?
It doesn’t need ironing !
Get shopping.

Shopping list:
Maje leather shirt, camilla marc leather skirt, Joseph pants from theoutnet.
Witchery skirt, Country Road leather tee, Dion Lee wrap skirt.
Day Berger frill top, Reiss skirt, Adam Lippes culottes.
Vince cropped pants, Frame culottes from Nordstrom Rack and ASOS culottes.
