Hot Summer Nights: How to Make Leather Work Overtime


As colorful as trends have become in the past season, the classic black and whites have still been brought out for some air. 

Here are some summer ideas on how to make leather work even in the hottest of nights!

The Leather Skirt:

Whether it hits above the knee of is thigh-high, these skirts are easy to integrate into a summer outfit.

How-To: Tuck a silky camisole or blouse into a matte leather skirt like 90210 star, Shenae Grimes for a chic, cutting edge look. 



Running around from day to night? No need to head home for a wardrobe change. Follow socialite/model, Olivia Palermo's footsteps! The leather skirt is easy to adapt for an afternoon walk or night out on the town. 

Throw on a thin knit sweater over the skirt or a classic blazer and you're good to go.

2. Imitate Leather:

 

Too sweltering to even think of rocking the leather? Why not opt for fabric that imitates the edge of leather without the suffocation? Take inspiration from Brittany Snow's city-chic look in trousers with a subtle sheen and unique textural pattern? I love her pairing of the more eclectic pieces with a ladylike cap sleeve blouse. Her choppy bob cut helps to frame her face and accentuate the unique features of her outfit. Her choice of rusty red shoes contrasted with her cherry red clutch helped add a subtle vampy touch.
