A genuine leather skirt is a fun and flirty garment that can be worn in dozens of different ways. You can wear it with a standard t-shirt or button-up long-sleeved shirt, or you can pair it with something more elegant like a blouse. Regardless of which method you prefer, though, you’ll want to pay close attention to your footwear, because this will have a significant impact in the overall appearance of your outfit. Reasons to Wear a Leather Skirt Before we reveal the steps to choosing the right footwear, let’s first talk about the benefits of wearing a leather skirt. Skirts made of traditional fabric like cotton and/or wool often look thin, frail, and of poor quality. Leather skirts, on the other hand, exhibit a certain level of durability that’s not found elsewhere. They are thick, durable, and able to withstand the hands of time, which is something that can’t be said for skirts made of other materials. What Color Leather Skirt? When choosing shoes for a leather skirt, you must first identify the color and tone of your skirt. Brown, of course, is the most common color for leather garments (skirts included). However, there are literally dozens of other colors from which to choose, as well, including black, red, green and yellow. If you plan on wearing a traditional brown-colored leather skirt, you won’t be able to wear black shoes. Consequentially, you can’t wear brown shoes with a black-colored leather skirt. Going back to the basics of fashion 101, brown and black don’t mix, so don’t attempt to wear them together. High Heels or Flats? Want to elongate...

Winter is right around the corner, which means the temperatures will begin to drop, the air will become drier, and some areas may soon receive snow. The combination of these elements can wreck havoc on certain fabrics and materials, including leather. So if you own any leather garments or accessories, there are a few steps you should take to better protect them from damage this winter season. Watch the Indoor Humidity Levels We’ve talked about this before on the LeatherCult blog, but it’s worth mentioning again that dry air may damage leather, causing it to dry out and even crack in severe cases. Unfortunately, dry air is an all-too-common problem during the winter. When the temperature drops, the air becomes less dense and is therefore unable to hold as much moisture. To protect your leather garments and accessories from dry air, it’s recommended that you install a humidifier in your bedroom (or wherever you store the leather). Humidifiers will regulate the humidity level by releasing moisture vapor when needed. Protection from Rain Check the weather forecast before venturing outside with a leather jacket or other leather garment. While short-term exposure to rain shouldn’t cause any problems, constantly wearing your leather garments or accessories in the rain day after day will eventually cause damage. The moisture from the rain will settle down within the leather’s pores, promoting the formation of mold and mildew (never a good thing!). It’s bound to happen sooner or later, so when your leather garment becomes soaked in rain, dry it in a timely manner. All it takes is a couple of minutes to wipe it...

Looking to enhance your outfit with the right accessories? Sure you are! Accessories can make or break a woman’s appearance, which is why it’s important to choose the right ones. Thankfully, there are dozens of fashionable leather accessories from which to choose, some of which we’re going to highlight in today’s blog post. Leather Handbag One of the best leather accessories for women is a handbag. Whether you are going to attend an important business meeting or just running errands around town, you can’t go wrong with this brilliant accessory. Leather handbags have become the de-facto choice of accessory among many women, and for good reason: they are stylish, durable, and offer a classic appearance that’s unmatched in terms of style. Don’t take my word for it, though. Pick up a leather handbag and see for yourself why so many women sport them. Leather Belt Another must-have leather accessory for women is a belt. Leather belts are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and styles, with something available to suit every woman. When choosing a leather belt, pay close attention to the color, because this will directly affect the appearance of your entire outfit. If possible, try wearing a belt that’s the same color as your shirt/top. Leather Bracelet Of course, leather bracelets are the perfect choice for fashion-forward women of all ages. Many women overlook fashion accessories such as bracelets, assuming they yield little-to-no benefit in terms of style. While there are many “lackluster” bracelets out there, leather bracelets offer the perfect combination of style and elegance. Leather Boots We can’t talk about leather accessories without...

Still haven’t jumped aboard the leather bandwagon? Whether it’s a shirt, dress, jacket, or pants, leather is the perfect choice of material for all types of fashion garments. Here’s why. It’s Timeless Fashion trends come and go from year to year. What’s “hot” one season may be gone the next. However, leather remains a classic, time-tested style that remains a popular choice among men and women alike. With leather, you can rest assured knowing that it won’t be going out of style anytime soon. This alone is reason enough for many people to invest in leather fashion as opposed to garments made of other fabrics and materials. Insulation and Warmth With winter fast approaching (December 21, FYI), you need to consider the warmth of your garments. Unfortunately, most standard all-cotton t-shirts, dresses and other garments offer very little in terms of insulation and warmth. As a result, wearing them during the winter can be downright uncomfortable. But this is an area in which leather shines, as it offers a superior level of insulation and warmth. Variety of Colors Who says leather is only available in the standard brown/tan color? While this is arguably the single most popular color for leather garments and accessories, there are literally dozens of other color varieties available as well, some of which include black, red, green, blue, yellow, black, and shades thereof. Feel free to experiment with some of these non-traditional colors to see what works and what doesn’t. Easy to Match A fourth reason why everyone should embrace leather fashion is because it’s easy to match with other garments and accessories. Planning on...
