While it’s true that leather is timeless, it’s also true that compared to other fabrics, it has been subject to a huge number of reinventions — always morphing at the behest of designers who recognise its potential. Now, leather is being given a somewhat softer treatment, fashioned into elegant silhouettes and form-fitting shapes that stand at odds with the textile’s tough-guy history.
From dresses that cinch cleverly at the waist to pieces that proffer the material in lighter tones and weights, the leather of the season is distinctly ladylike, and we’re all for it. Here are the pieces, both traditional and faux leather, to add to your wardrobe now.
