Need now : Leather in every shape ! #luxetoless.

Leather. Pleather. Faux leather.
Whatever you call it, it’s something you need in your wardrobe. Right now.

Why?

• Because it doesn’t need ironing !
  (The one reason I have pleather pants on repeat: so easy to get dressed).
• Leather is the quickest way to add vava voom and a sneaky fashiony edge to your wardrobe.
• Whatever age or shape you are.
• It’s the best way to way to wear black. Which can be boring and dull if the fabric is a big YAWN.

The good news?

Leather now comes in all shapes and forms.
Skirts! Shorts! Shackets! Shirts! wide leg Pants!

How to wear?

Grab a leather shirt and layer it like a shacket over a tee with white jeans.
Invest in black leather wide pants. and wear a check blazer with sneakers.
(I’ve been living in black leather culottes for years !)
Toss on a leather tee with denim jeans.
Or a midi leather skirt with a big oversized sweater.

Hint:
If your pleather pants are too long – and you haven’t paid a fortune- I have been known to get out the scissors and cut off the hem ( see here my khaki pleather from H&M on here). Easy.
NB: Avoid leather biker jackets: Unless you’re a model.
They’re too tough looking, too tricky to style, not versatile. soz.

Styling Tip:

Tight + leather = Tacky.
You want to always go for roomy, easy cut.
It looks chic and expensive.
Which is the aim of the game right?
