Trend Alert: Leather Blazer
There was a lot of leather on the catwalks for Autumn 2009, and now the trend has landed on the High Street. From leather trousers, to leggings to jackets, you can't escape the fabric and it's sure to give your outfit a rock chick feel.
I have noticed a number of leather blazers on offer, which would look great with skinny jeans and boots.
Catwalk Trend Alert: Leather
Tough leather returned to the catwalks this Autumn as some of the biggest design houses (think Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and Prada to name a few) championed the fabric. It fitted in nicely with the '80s revival as big shoulders become de rigeur especially at Balmain and Alexander Wang. Click through to see the varying interpretations of the trend across the major fashion capitals.
Trend Alert: Leather Dress
Last week, Angelina Jolie impressed most of you as she stepped out on the red carpet in a tight fitting Michael Kors leather dress. The style is sure to be popular this Autumn as leather dresses and skirts look likely to become key party items.
You can pick up great leather items in vintage stores, but getting the right fit can be challenging so I have rounded up some great alternatives.
Love it or Hate it: Rihanna's Leather Number
Rihanna was out and about in New York yesterday as she shopped and partied in this tight fitting asymmetric leather number. I like that the edgy leather is broken up with a cutesy-floral print and that she kept everything else quite simple to let the dress do the talking! What do you think of her funky frock?
Trend Alert: Leather Skirt
A few weeks ago, I asked you what you thought of Balmain's quilted leather skirt which is sure to be a key Autumn piece. The trend is now sweeping across the High Street as various interpretations of the style emerge as a style to watch.
It's a tight fitting item by nature so is not for the feint hearted, but it's a great way to get a step ahead for the new season.
Love it or Hate it: Leather Leggings
Last year most of you were willing to wear leather trousers and the trend has long been available on the High Street. Now the trousers are tighter than ever with leather leggings taking hold, but is this too much?
Cheryl Cole wore a pair recently to show off her great pins, but how do you feel about this unforgiving item?
Trend Alert: Leather Trousers
Telling you about the fashion world's current penchant for leather trousers gives me the same sick feeling as when I reported the reemergence of the bare midrift. It's not a trend that should be approached lightly but it was seen on the catwalk at Givenchy and has now been worn by British fashionistas Alexa Chung and Emma Watson.
It's a trend that should be approached with a skip full of caution and is certainly not for the faint hearted.
Love it or Hate it: Leather Zip Trousers
Last month I asked you if you would wear leather trousers following their appearance on the catwalk at Givenchy. Most of you were willing to try the trend but now that it has hit the High Street I wanted to find out how you felt about these trousers.
The leather zip trousers (£95) are from Topshop and feature an exposed zip.
Would You Wear Leather Trousers?
I'm not sure how much I'm in favour of certain Autumn trends. First of all there is the resurgence of loafers which have left me feeling a bit unsure (and it seems you are too) but now I'm left contemplating leather trousers. They appeared on the catwalk at Givenchy and Balenciaga and now even Principles are offering a pair.
