Question: Can I Pull Off The Leather Trend?

We break down this season’s leather trend.

Have you been orbiting this season’s leather-look trend and questioning whether it’s one for you? Us too. Maybe we’re traumatised by scenes of Ross Gellar in the bathroom, slathered in a talcum powder paste, but those days are gone, Friends.

A little bit looser than their predecessors, in any colour and finish you want - the 2023 version of leather (and faux leather) pants just looks so wearable in a way they often didn’t in the past.

Fabric innovation means leather and leather-look materials can come with a comfortable stretch, faux leather almost as soft as the real deal, and dyed in rich winter-ready hues to heat up your cool weather collection. Wine-hued burgundy, chestnut brown and flashes of metallics will always make an impact.

In more than just pants, leather and faux leather excels in all forms for the season, from overshirts to shearling-lined leather jackets (think oversized aviator style), precision-cut leather blazers, A-line skirts, the season's beloved trench coat, and more. Hell, Katy Perry just proved a lilac leatherette skirt suit and gloves can be worn to the Coronation of the King of England.

The fun thing about fashion is you can wear whatever you damn well want, but the fact that this trend comes in a piece that fits into your personal style only makes it even easier to have fun with. 

If you want to dip your toe into the look, why not start with a loose leather shirt? It will slot seamlessly into your existing rotation, layered over a white tank top with jeans or a skirt - even adding interest to a formal shift dress. Alternatively, swap any skirt with a sleek leather, or faux leather, counterpart for a luxe way to upgrade tactile winter knitwear, jersey staples and button-up shirts to dress office-to-dinner with ease.

And finally, a leather jacket has been a wardrobe staple for the last seventy years, with no intention of leaving any time soon - choose your player from bomber silhouettes, chunky biker styles and leather-look puffer jackets. The winter months are the ideal time to play with textures. A style and shape for everyone means this is not a trend to fear.
