Choose Genuine Leather If you’re going to wear a leather jacket, make sure it’s made of 100% genuine leather and not some synthetic material. While synthetic materials may look similar, they don’t offer the same characteristic look and feel as the real thing. The only real benefit of choosing a synthetic “faux” leather jacket is the cost. They typically cost less than their genuine counterpart, making them an attractive choice for consumers on a budget. If you can afford it, though, you should choose a genuine leather jacket. The soft texture, supple feeling, and overall classic look is simply unmatched. And best of all, genuine leather jackets retain their value, whereas faux leather jackets do not. Go Layered You really can’t go wrong with a layered look when wearing a leather jacket. Leather jackets typically feature just a single color (although some may feature multiple colors). As such, there’s really nothing to break up the color or design — not without adding another layer or two, at least. As long weather permits, try creating a layered look consisting of a leather jacket, shirt and maybe another shirt. Doing so allows you to include more than just a single color into your look. If you’re wearing a brown leather jacket, for instance, perhaps you could wear a white undershirt with a slightly lighter (or darker) brown shirt over it. This layered look is simply unbeatable, and best of all, it’s incredibly easy to achieve. Feel free to experiment with different layers to see what works and what doesn’t. Match Shoes with Jacket Another tip that’s particularly beneficial when wearing a...

Leather skirts have become an increasingly popular fashion item in recent years. They feature the classic look of traditional skirts, but with the benefits of genuine leather. This allows for a deeper and more sophisticated garment that’s sure to turn heads. Whether you’re going out for drinkers with friends, attending a business meeting, or just running your daily errands around town, you can’t go wrong with a 100% leather skirt. It’s this unmatched level of versatility that makes leather skirts such a popular and fast-growing fashion item. But it’s important to note that leather skirts are constantly evolving, with new styles being introduced on a regular basis. In the past, most leather skirts were basic, consisting of nothing more than brown/tan leather in a basic pencil skirt design. This wasn’t necessarily bad, as many women prefer this standard look. However, it also didn’t offer much in terms of customization and personal style, leaving many women wanting more. Well, it appears that the clothing companies have heeded this warning, as there are now countless different styles in which leather skirts are made. For a list of some of the hottest leather skirt trends, keep reading. Two-Tone Skirts When you think of colors in which leather is made, what’s the first one that comes to mind? If you answered brown, you aren’t alone. This is the color that’s traditionally associated with leather, and for good reason. Leather has a natural brown color, so it’s easier to make leather garments in brown than other colors. Furthermore, brown is a basic color that matches with many other colors. For these reasons, many companies...

Leather pants have become an increasingly popular fashion garment in recent years. Made of genuine leather, they offer an unmatched level of style, durability and versatility.

It’s the perfect “go to” choice of pants for both men and women alike. While leather is prized for its strength and durability, it’s not immune to damage. If it’s left exposed to the elements, for instance, it may accumulate so much moisture that it affects the fibers and ultimately damages the material. This is why it’s important for individuals to give their leather pants a little TLC. By investing just a small amount of your time and resources into caring for your leather pants, you’ll prolong their life while getting more bang for your buck in the process. Being that leather pants are still a relatively new fashion item, however, many people don’t know how to care for them. If this sounds like a familiar scenario, keep reading for some helpful tips on how to clean, care for and maintain a pair of genuine leather pants. Buy from a Reputable Vendor Before we reveal the specifics for caring for leather pants, let’s first go ahead and discuss the importance of buying leather pants — or any leather garment or accessory — from a reputable vendor.

If you’re struggling to choose a leather skirt, keep reading for some helpful tips and tricks. We’re going to walk you through the process of finding the perfect leather skirt, regardless of your personal style. Go Genuine We’ve talked about this before on our blog, but it’s worth mentioning again that not all leather skirts are made of genuine leather. Some companies cut corners by using faux/fake leather. Although it looks similar to the real thing, faux leather is anything but. It has a more distinct “chemical” like odor, and it’s usually rougher and less comfortable than its genuine counterpart. For these reasons, it’s best to choose a genuine leather skirt. You can expect to pay a little more for...

Winter is right around the corner, which means thousands of people have begun their search for a much-needed jacket. Of course, there’s no better choice of winter outwear than a genuine leather jacket. The soft yet durable characteristics of leather offer an unmatched level of comfort and protection from the elements. But there are a few things you should consider before buying a new women’s leather jacket, which we’re going to discuss in today’s blog post. What’s the Color? When choosing a new women’s leather jacket, pay close attention to the color. Traditional colors like brown and beige are often preferred, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that you should limit yourself to only choosing them. Women’s leather jackets are available in countless colors and color combinations, ranging from brown and beige to black, red, yellow, orange and more. You can create a bold appearance by choosing a leather jacket in a non-traditional color. At the same time, however, you should consider whether or not it matches the rest of your outfit. A yellow leather jacket is sure to turn heads, but how many outfits do you own that will match a yellow jacket? Chances are not too many, in which case it’s probably best to stick with a color like brown, black or red, all of which are excellent, easy-to-match choices for a women’s leather jacket. Who Made it? Arguably, one of the most important things to consider when choosing a women’s leather jacket is the manufacturer. If the manufacturer emphasizes profits over the quality of its products, the leather jacket will probably suffer from design flaws. On the...
