Leather capris have become a popular alternative to traditional women’s pants and trousers in recent years. With their shorter-than-average length, they are both comfortable and stylish. And because they are made of leather, they offer the same benefits as other leather garments. In this post, we’re going to take a closer look at leather capris. Whether you’re shopping for your first pair or 10th pair, the following guide will help you find the perfect leather capris. What are leather capris? As the name suggests, leather capris are women’s capris characterized by a leather construction. Capris themselves have been around for many decades. With that said, they didn’t gain mainstream attention until the 1950s. Around this time, more and more women traded in their full-length pants for cooler and more comfortable capris. It’s believed that the 1960s TV show “The Dick Van Dyke Show” helped popularize capris. One of the show’s main characters, played by actress Mary Tyler Moore, was often seen wearing capris. Because of the “The Dick Van Dyke Show’s” massive popularity, it introduced millions of Americans to capris, setting a new fashion trend. All capris, including leather capris, feature a shorter-than-average length. While traditional women’s pants typically extend to the ankles, capris only extend to the calves. Leather capris feature this same length but are characterized by a leather construction.

Leather jackets constantly rank as one of the most popular forms of outerwear. They’ve been around since the early 20th century, during which they were by airplane pilots and crewmen. Their thick leather construction offers a higher level of thermal insulation — and therefore more heat — than coats and jackets made of thinner, less-insulative materials. In recent years, however, there have been dozens if not hundreds of new leather jacket styles released. While there’s nothing wrong with choosing a modern leather jacket such as this, many men and women prefer the timeless appearance of classic leather jackets. If you fall under this category, consider the seven following tips on how to choose a classic leather jacket. 1) Brown or black For a classic appearance, choose a leather jacket featuring either brown or black. When leather jackets were first invented, they were manufactured almost exclusively in these two colors. Over the years, brown and black have remained the most popular colors for leather jackets. They are timeless, easy on the eyes, and flow cohesively with most other colors and patterns. As a result, you can’t go wrong with a brown or black leather jacket, especially if you’re trying to achieve a classic appearance. 2) Simple fastening If you look at examples of some of the world’s first leather jackets, you’ll probably notice they all have a simple fastening mechanism. Although there are exceptions, most either have a single column of buttons lining the front, or they have a zipper on the front. Regardless, simple fastening mechanisms such as these are recommended. They are easy to use, and most importantly,...

The beginning of the fall season offers the perfect opportunity to experiment with fashionable new garments and accessories. With summer now behind us, you can reflect this seasonal change by wearing different outfits, including a leather dress. Featuring a genuine leather construction, leather dresses are both stylish and comfortable. Most importantly, they offer a unique appearance when compared to traditional dresses. But if you’re planning to wear a leather dress this fall season, there are a few things you should know. Choose a medium-length style As we progress deeper into the fall season, you can expect cooler temperatures. As a result, it’s a good idea to choose a medium-length leather dress. Like all dresses, leather dresses are available in three primary lengths. Mini leather dresses are the shortest; midi leather dresses fall somewhere in the middle; and maxi leather dresses are the longest. To stay warm and comfortable this fall season, it’s recommended that you choose either a midi or maxi leather dress rather than a mini leather dress. Consider a quilted leather dress Another way to protect against the cool fall weather is to wear a quilted leather dress. As the name suggests, quilted leather dresses are designed with quilted stitching. They are still made of the same genuine leather as other leather dresses, as well as jackets. The only difference is that they are designed with quilted stitching. The presence of this quilted stitching distinguishes them from other leather dresses. At the same time, it increases their thermal insulation properties, meaning a quilted leather dress will keep you warmer than a traditional non-quilted leather dress. Consider a...
