Leather and Spring aren't the most obvious pairing, but leave it to this crew of designers — who featured copious amounts of leather on their Spring runways — to make it en vogue. From Tibi's colorful structured tops and skirts to Fendi's sleek colorblocked pants, I can't help but be intrigued. While a part of me can't seem to fathom the thought of sweating it out for the sake of fashion (65-degree weather plus a leather dress does not sound appealing), there's another side of me falling hard for all the pretty purple, green, and taupe-hued offerings.
For many of us, leather (or faux leather) is a fixture in our fall wardrobes, but doesn’t carry over to the warm Spring weather. Fortunately, that's all changed thanks to a lighter, more feminine look and feel in pieces ranging from pastel shells to full-skirted dresses. Embrace the unexpected warm weather leather look by selecting pieces in cool colors enhanced with delicate embroidery, laser-cut details or perforated accents. These looks combine soft, flirty elements with the most unexpected treatment, giving off a striking Spring look that works for day or night. I'm so thankful that I won’t have to retire this chic texture anymore as seasons change. Bring on the warm weather leather!
