Leather dresses are gaining momentum in the world of fashion. Defined by their leather construction, they offer a comfortable and stylish alternative to traditional dresses. If you’re tired of wearing traditional dresses, perhaps you should choose a leather dress. With that said, there are many different styles of leather dresses. Below is a list of the five top styles of leather dresses.
#1) Beverely
You can’t go wrong with a beverely leather dress. Available in mini or midi lengths, beverely leather dresses offer a simple and classic appearance. They feature a streamlined fit that hugs your body when worn. Beverly leather dresses aren’t loosely fitted or otherwise baggy. Rather, they fit snug when worn.
Most beverely leather dresses are also sleeveless. Other leather dresses often have partial sleeves. Without sleeves, beverely leather dresses are ideal for warm weather. You can wear them during the spring and summer months to stay cool. Beverely leather dresses are cooler than many other types of dresses because they don’t have sleeves.
#2) Perforated
Perforated leather dresses have become more popular in recent years. Like all leather dresses, including beverely, they are constructed of real leather. Perforated leather dresses, however, are unique because of their perforated design. When inspecting a perforated leather dress up close, you’ll notice that it has many small holes in it. These holes are known as perforations — and they distinguish perforated leather dresses from other styles of leather dresses.
With a perforated leather dress, you’ll create a more fashion-forward appearance. All leather dresses are attractive. Perforated leather dresses simply offer a more unique appearance because of their perforated design. Many women wear leggings with their perforated leather dresses. For additional color, you can accessorize your perforated leather dress with a pair of colored leggings. Even without leggings, though, you can still take advantage of a perforated leather dress by including it in your daily outfits.
#3) Dungaree
Another type of leather dress to consider is dungaree. As shown in the photo below, dungaree dresses are characterized by their use of dungarees. Dungarees are overalls. A dungaree leather dress is simply a leather dress that featured built-in overalls.
Dungaree leather dresses offer a hybrid combination consisting of overalls and a skirt. Both the overalls and skirt are made of the same leather material, and they are both sewn together to achieve a single garment. With their built-in overalls, dungaree leather dresses offer a one-of-a-kind appearance that stands out from nearly all other styles of leather dresses. Their unique appearance is one of the reasons why dungaree dresses have become so popular.
#4) Petalo
There’s also the petalo leather dress. Available for sale here at LeatherCult, patelo leather dresses offer an hour-glass shape that looks amazing. They’ll contour to the natural shape of your body, thereby enhancing your appearance. Other petalo
Unlike beverely leather dresses, petalo leather dresses typically aren’t sleeveless. Rather, they are designed with partial sleeves. When worn, the sleeves will extend about halfway down your biceps. They are still shorter than full-length sleeves. The partial-length sleeves simply add a touch of style to patelo leather dresses.
In addition to partial sleeves, petalo leather dresses feature a zipper on the back. You can easily put on and take off a petalo leather dress using this zipper. Other leather dresses have buttons. You can put them on or take them off by fastening or unfastening the buttons.
#5) Bowie
Finally, bowie leather dresses are a popular choice. What is a bowie leather dress exactly? As the name suggests, it’s a type of leather dress that features one or more bows. The bows are added as decorative embellishments. They don’t serve any functional purpose. Instead, the bows simply add a unique visual element that makes the leather dress pop.
The Bowie Leather Dress #753, for example, features two bows. You can find these bows on the front left and right sides. Other bowie leather dresses have a single bow, which may be located on either the front or back. A leather dress is considered a “bowie leather dress” if it features at least one bow.
Which Style Should You Choose?
Now that you know some of the most popular styles of leather dresses, you might be wondering one to choose. For a classic appearance, you can’t go wrong with a beverely leather dress. Beverely leather dresses are simple, stylish and versatile.
For a more unique appearance, you may want to choose a different style. Perforated, dungaree and bowie leather dresses all offer a unique appearance when worn.
Regardless of the style, you should choose a dress made of high-quality leather. Not all leather is the same. There are different types, as well as grades, of leather. Some leather is softer and of higher quality than other types of leather.
Napa leather is often used to make dresses. You can find beverely, perforated, dungaree, petalo and bowie dresses available in napa leather. Derived from Napa, California, it’s one of the world’s softest and highest-quality types of leather. Napa leather has an ultra-fine grain that’s responsible for its super-smooth texture.
You can find leather dresses in other types of leather, many of which are also high quality. Keep in mind that you should typically avoid dresses made of faux leather. Faux leather may look real, but it’s actually a synthetic material. Therefore, it doesn’t offer the same soft texture as real leather, nor does it offer the same elegant style. For these reasons, you should choose a dress made of real leather, such as napa leather, instead of faux leather.
Something else to consider when choosing a leather dress is the color. Many women prefer black leather dresses. With an all-black design, they are attractive and easy to incorporate into your outfits. You can find leather dresses in dozens of other colors, though. Maybe you prefer white, or perhaps you prefer red. No matter your preference, you can probably find a leather dress in your desired color.
