Leather for Real Life

August 24, 2020

I am a big fan of leather (vegan leather mostly) for Fall. It is so luxe looking and goes with everything. Here are some of my top picks for pieces you don’t need to wait until temperatures drop to rock.

This Aqua pencil skirt is a perfect marriage of trendy and classic. The faux leather gives it an edge that is balanced by the classic silhouette. The elastic waist and pockets are just icing on the cake.

Paper bag waists are the pants this season, luckily they are super flattering. These Lucy Paris vegan leather pants fit like a glove with minimal front pleating and side slit pockets. Glam paired with heels, they are also super cute with a sporty sneaker and tee.

Lucy Paris Puff Sleeve Top

I love me a good puff sleeve. Not only for the drama, but also the overall slimming effect it has on one’s silhouette. This Lucy Paris top is so good in both Lilac (super discounted!) and classic black I had to include them both.

This Blank NYC faux leather blazer makes me giddy. I am obsessed with the double breasted cut (again, very slenderizing) and chic camel color. Paired with distressed jeans and a tee or as an accent to an all black outfit, this is a statement piece.

Topshop excels in high quality fast fashion and this pleated midi skirt is no exception. The only skirt you’ll need this Fall, it can be styled so many ways (with a fitted turtleneck, graphic tee, blazer, silk blouse…).

Another winner from Topshop these Faux Leather Culotte shorts are so good for Fall. Styled with a blazer as above they are so cool but also look chic when dressed up with a sweater and heels.

Joggers are my jam and this BLANKNYC pair are the perfect cut in a gorgeous hue. This tan neutral is a no brainer with black and white but also pairs beautifully with bold colors.

Leather shorts may sound scary, but these Anthropologie Paperbag shorts are more class than trash. Paired with an easy button down they are impossibly chic and the elastic waist make them incredible comfy.

At first glance these Free People Penny Flares may send you running for the hills, but I promise they are so worth giving a try. Flared legs make you look long and lean and add some drama to any look- but mostly make you look long and lean:)

Looking for an alternative to all those big baggy Looking for an alternative to all those big baggy #dadjeans out there? I don’t know about you mamas, but I am working harder than ever not to look bigger than I am so the idea of putting on gigantic pants is less than appealing to me. Enter the flare jeans! This is my new favorite cut as an exaggerated flare creates a longer leaner silhouette overall! #stylisthack, most need to be shortened by about an inch or two to be able to wear with sneakers but still keep the bell shape. 👖👖My top picks linked in bio
