Leather

Leather is certainly one of the most flexible fabrics; it can ring of class, hint at fun, yet also herald to prostitution.  Therefore, there are certainly precautions to be taken with such a fabric!

Leather Jackets:  Every time I see a leather jacket, I am reminded of the greasers in the 1950s. 

There always seems to be an element of adventure as well as mystery with the adorning of such a fabric! 

I especially love a fitted leather jacket with seamless lines that work well with my many scarves, but jackets with interesting snaps and bulk can be fun with denim skirts.


Of course, the leather jacket need not be black in nature!  It can certainly be in any color that dyes can come it!  Of course, certain colors would not look too classy.  For me, I prefer natural colors, such as black, tan, brown, or even cream.

Leather Skirts:  This is definitely an area for caution!  While a leather skirt can be dressy when crossed with a hip-length dress jacket and heels, it can also call to mind a redlight district if you wear it too tightly!  It is always best to purchase a size larger than you normally wear to ensure you maintain a classy look rather than a cheap one!

Skirts in leather can come in just about any length but they are best just below the knee or at the ankle.  The knee length skirt is very hip and classy while the ankle length skirt proves to be very elegant!  For a wild touch, try a red leather skirt like that above!

Leather Boots:  These can certainly lift an ordinary jean skirt from the doldrums into 'class city!'  When selecting these boots, make certain they do not fit too loosely on the leg nor too tightly.  There's nothing that can kill your look like 'muffin top' legs!
