Biker Chick to Business Chic
We know what you’re thinking: leather in the workplace? But put aside thoughts of motorcycles and think professional and sleek. Leather is one of the hottest trends for the cold months, so we’ve handpicked some styles that you can wear in the boardroom without getting crazy looks.
Unsure how to work the leather trend into your wardrobe? “Designers are finding great ways to make leather garments much more versatile and sensible,” says fashion designer and design consultant Hilton Hollis. “A great way to wear leather to the office is to layer a leather jacket with bright colors, like orchid, and pair it with a tweed pant.”
Combining feminine or light-colored tops with a chic leather skirt can give your look a punch of power. If you’d rather ease into the trend slowly, try pairing a muted or bright leather-trimmed cardigan with your favorite pair of slacks and a simple blouse.
Faux leather works, too. It looks like the real thing but is usually more affordable.
The classic leather jacket is a must-have for your closet: it never goes out of style. You can always find one that matches your taste, whether that means funky, basic or laid-back.
Bonus PINK Link: You’ve got the leather trend down, now update the rest of your closet for fall.
