Leather Accessories that Every Woman Should Own

Leather Accessories that Every Woman Should Own

Few textiles offer the same level of versatility as leather.  It’s strong, durable, stylish, and yet it’s still soft and comfortable to wear. Perhaps this is why so many fashion accessories are made of leather. If you’re a woman, you should embrace this centuries-old textile by adding the following accessories to your wardrobe.

Leather Belt

Arguably, one of the most commonly worn leather accessories is a belt. Most women wear belts for one of two reasons: either to keep their pants secured around their waist, or for added style and aesthetics. Regardless of your reason for wearing one, consider choosing a genuine leather belt. A leather belt is a stylish accessory that’s both functional and attractive. Unlike belts made of other materials, leather offers a naturally stylish appearance that’s simply not found elsewhere.

And if you really want to make a fashion statement, you can always choose a studded leather belt, which as the name suggests features rhinestones, jewels or other embellishments. Studded leather belts are a fun alternative to traditional belts. With that said, you should really only wear them if your belt is going to be visible. If your shirt covers your waistline, for instance, your belt will remain hidden, in which case no one will see your studded leather belt. You can still wear one, but it’s not going to enhance or otherwise benefit your appearance.

Leather Handbag

We can’t talk about must-have leather accessories for women without mentioning handbags. While men typically carry wallets, women carry handbags. Using your handbag, you can store cosmetic products, cash, mobile devices and other small items. Again, you can find handbags available in countless fabrics and materials, though none offer the same level of versatility as genuine leather. A leather handbag will withstand countless years of use, all while enhancing your appearance in the process.

When choosing a leather handbag, make sure it’s made of 100% genuine leather and not fake or faux leather, the latter of which falls short of its counterpart. Also, consider the color of leather from which the handbag is made. Brown and black are the two most popular color choices for leather handbags, either of which are easy to match. With that said, you can find leather handbags available in dozens of other colors, including yellow, red, green, blue and pretty much any other color you can think of. Opting for one of these non-traditional colors is a fun way to express your own creative style and differentiate yourself from the crowd.

Leather Gloves

While winter is still several months away, a pair of high-quality leather gloves are the perfect accessory for those chilly end-of-the-year months. As the mercury drops, you may find yourself looking for accessory to keep warm. It’s no secret that gloves are essential in keeping warm. They insulate your hands, protecting against loss of body heat. Like many accessories, gloves are available in countless different materials, some of which include cotton, wool, nylon and other synthetic fabrics. Of all the fabrics in which gloves are made, however, none beat leather.

Leather gloves are synonymous with quality and style. The soft leather material ensures your hands will stay comfortable, regardless of what Mother Nature has to throw your way. Furthermore, leather is able to withstand the hands of time for countless years to come. So, as long as you maintain them properly, your leather gloves should last for several seasons if not longer. These are just a few of the many reasons why you should update your wardrobe with a pair of high-quality leather gloves.

Leather Backpack

A leather handbag isn’t always going to cut it. Sure, this must-have accessory is great for carrying small items, but what if you need to carry items like books, binders or other gear? Well, for occasions such as this you’ll need a backpack. Don’t just choose any backpack, however. Instead, consider choosing a genuine leather backpack. Leather backpacks offer the best of both worlds in terms of style and durability. Backpacks made of other material typically focus strictly on functionality — and that’s okay. But if you want to look great while wearing a backpack, you need to choose one that’s both functional and stylish, where is where leather excels. With a leather backpack, you can rest assured knowing that it will enhance your appearance while remaining functional.

Leather Bracelet

There are a few other leather accessories you should include your wardrobe, one of which is a bracelet. Even if you don’t wear a lot of jewelry, a leather bracelet is still the perfect accessory to compliment your appearance. Not everyone prefers the look of metal jewelry. Whether it’s silver, gold, platinum, etc., metal jewelry has a shiny appearance that doesn’t always match the rest of your outfit. A leather bracelet, however, is guaranteed to look great with whatever you are wearing. Just remember to choose a color that flows cohesively with the rest of your outfit. If you’re wearing an outfit with brown, stick with a brown leather bracelet. If you’re wearing an outfit with black, stick with a black leather bracelet — you get the idea.

Leather Jacket

Of course, you should also invest in a leather jacket if you don’t already own one. Leather jackets have been around since the 1800s, during which they were worn by aviation pilots and crew members to stay warm. Because climate control systems hadn’t been invented yet, pilots and crew members required thick, well-insulated clothing to stay warm. A leather jacket was the perfect choice, as it offered an unmatched level of warmth and protection from the cold. Airplanes today now have climate control systems, though the stylish appearance and characteristics of leather jackets make this accessory a popular choice among millions of men and women alike.
