If you haven't received the memo yet - black leather is back! And, in a very big way. Just step inside any retailer today and you will find something reminiscent of those great 'leather' days. Think Hot Shots, Tom Cruise, motorcyles. Well, although all those images are great, the next generation is giving us a whole new 'remix' of how to wear leather.
Solid leather is great, but today's leather is all about blends. Blending fabrics, patters and even styles. Don't be afraid to let this season take you into a 'dare to be fresh' stage of your style, even if for a moment. It won't take a lot of leather to bring you there. One great thing about this trend is that its everywhere, on everything. You can find tuxedo leggings, poly-blend A-line dresses, ankle boots, the list goes on. I am challenging my very small edgy side to step into a pair of leather jeggings this season - can't wait!
Although this trend is completely fresh and undeniably cool, it won't be around for long. So, if you aren't known as Mr. or Mrs. Moneybags, don't invest in those tempting high-end pieces that will have to go to that secon-hand store, down the street, come March. Luckily, places like Kohls and Nordstrom Rack have these pieces for a bargain. This way, you can have some fun reinventing your look without breaking the bank. On the other hand, if you want to spend the big bucks on a sublime piece of amazing, wearable leather - go for it. You only live once.
