5 Leather Pieces Worth Adding To Your Wardrobe

By Kristen Peuvion on December 22, 2014

Leather is one of my favorite materials to wear, especially in the winter. It’s such an easy thing to wear when you want to be warm, but also look chic.

Unlike other winter materials, leather isn’t super bulky so you won’t look like a marshmallow. By incorporating leather into your winter wardrobe, you have a sleek and sophisticated look that’s also super warm; leather gives you the best of both worlds.

Another great thing about this material is you can wear it on virtually any item of clothing you want. Leather gives you a lot of freedom and versatility with how you wear it, so anyone and everyone should have at least one leather item in their closet.

Here are five of my favorite leather pieces worth adding to your wardrobe this winter.

1. Leather Skater Skirt

Nothing says fun and flirty quite like a skater skirt. After all, the skirt was meant for dancing and twirling the night away in. The style is also super feminine and girly, but a skater skirt made out of leather adds a whole new dimension of sexy and bold.

Wear this skirt with a sheer blouse and statement heels for a night out with your girlfriends, or pair it with a crisp, white button down shirt, tights and pointed leopard flats for the office. The leather skater skirt works for any occasion!

2. Leather Pencil Skirt

Sometimes skater skirts aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s no denying that a pencil skirt is a wardrobe staple. I firmly believe that every girl around the age of 20 should own at least one pencil skirt. They’re classy, sophisticated and chic and will never go out of style.

But why stick to a classic pencil skirt when you can spice things up a bit?

Try buying this classic item in leather for a fun change of pace. It’s still going to be work appropriate, but it will make you feel a little sexier than your average pencil skirt.

You can also easily transform this office-ready piece of clothing into a nighttime look that’s perfect for your hot date or grabbing drinks with your girlfriends.

3. Leather Moto Jacket

No girl’s wardrobe can be complete without a leather moto jacket. They are a fall/winter/early spring staple for every girl, no matter what her personal style is. They come in a wide variety of styles like a simple asymmetrical cut leather jacket, or a grungier bomber jacket.

Whatever your style is, you should look for a leather jacket that complements it.

You can wear your leather jacket with just about anything. Simply pair it with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt for the fall, or you can wear it over your holiday party dress with tights and heels.

For the spring, feel free to wear your jacket over your summer dresses for a look that’s perfect for those awkward in-between temperatures!

4. Leather Booties

Booties took the fashion world by storm this year. So it should come as no surprise that they landed on this list.

A good pair of leather booties, just like a leather jacket, will get you through almost every season. Be sure to invest in a quality pair, especially if you live in a place that gets a lot of snow or rain. You don’t want to get something cheap that will only last you a couple of wears.

Leather booties can be paired with just about anything in your closet. Wear them with your favorite skinny jeans rolled up or throw them on with your favorite summer dress. With these shoes, you’ll always have a chic footwear option in your closet, no matter what the season!

5. Leather Leggings

Leather leggings are probably my all-time favorite leather item in my closet, and for good reason. Last year I went on the hunt for a new pair and it took me numerous trips to the mall and countless online orders before I finally found the perfect pair that fit me.

That may sound like a huge hassle (and trust me, it was), but it was SO worth it. I now wear my leather leggings at least once a week.

A good pair of well-fitting, comfortable leather leggings can be hard to come by, but with a little bit of effort and patience you can find them. Once you do, your options of how to wear them are endless.

Try wearing them with a v-neck long-sleeve shirt, a faux fur vest and pumps, or with a plaid shirt and booties, or with your favorite chunky sweater and loafers. Leather leggings are definitely worth adding to your closet.

So stop hiding in your bulky winter clothing and try out one of winter’s sleeker materials. Leather is a must wear material for the cold months and even the warmer months ahead.

Try incorporating these leather favorites of mine into your wardrobe today!
