Trend Alert: (Faux) Leather Skirts

This is wicked popular right now and I'm not crazy about it but we can talk about it anyway because you should always be up-to-date.

From the runway to celebs to fashion bloggers, this trend is huge.  Sometimes it can be cute and sometimes not.  Anyway we'll go over how to wear it and wear you can get one, etc.

The Mini- If you have great legs, do this immediately because it looks hot.  A good way to balance out the "tough-ness" of the leather is a softer top- a t-shirt or (cashmere) sweater will work perfectly.  For daytime, wear with sandals while you still can or booties. At night- the higher the heel, the better.

The Pencil- Wearing a flowy colorful top can help balance out the shape of the pencil skirt nicely.  If you want to dress, it down, a graphic tee works.  Pair with pumps, or flats if you're less hardcore.

Fit and Flare- Something simple should go on top- a t-shirt or tank this time of year would be perfect with a cardigan.  This would be a good time to wear tights under your skirt if you're interested.  Wear this with simple shoes oxfords or booties.

Pleated- Go for classic and keep it simple with a button-down, preferably in a solid color but pick whatever color you want.  Pairing this with combat boots looks unique.  And badass.

So go forth and wear leather.  Keep it vegan!  Just kidding I don't care.
