Let’s Talk Leather
Leather is on trend, lets be real, when is it not trending? I consider it a classic piece that never goes out of style. . Faux leather makes it an affordable wardrobe essential. Leather can add a stylish edge to your work wardrobe or level up your night out looks. I love to rent my clothing because I believe it is a sustainable option to a closet full of clothes and a fun way to add trendy pieces to my everyday wardrobe. I also incorporate faux leather and leather articles that have been in my wardrobe for years. Whenever I style leather I pay attention to the leather’s condition.
Let’s be honest, leather can be a noisy choice. Have you ever noticed that creaking or squeaking sound that leather or faux leather makes when you walk? That sounds comes from dehydrated leather! Not to worry there is a simple fix to restore your leather pieces! First, purchase a genuine leather lotion ( follow my shopping link to shop my favorites)!
The next few steps are simple! First, dampen a cloth and wipe down the piece to rehydrate the item. Next, you simply apply the leather conditioner. Or in a pinch you can use body lotion as long as it doesn’t contain alcohol. Alcohol can further dry out or discolor your leather pieces. Now you can rock a leather look with confidence!
Styling leather can daunting but when a leather jacket or leather pants are added, a simple look can be transformed into a trendy and stylish one. Here are a few styling tips and ideas that can help you style your next leather look!
Step Up Your Work Game
Work outfits can become repetitious. Adding a little leather can add a little fun to your work attire! I like to style a leather dress like this one with accessories such as this cute gold cuff. This handbag compliments the color of the dress perfectly.
Level Up Your Next Night Out
Struggling to find a cute but unique look for a night out? Try a cropped knit sweater or cropped shirt with a pair of high-waisted leather pants. You could even add a interest with a pair of metallic heels.
Faux Leather
Faux leather adds textured detail to any look. A faux leather piece can make a simple or even basic outfit one of a kind. The texture of faux leather adds just the right amount of contrast. Try a faux leather jacket over a simple top with a pair of 90’s denim jeans.
