Sorry to break it to you, but the weather is going to get a lot darker from now on. Since the gloomy, dismal winter months are approaching, you may as well make up for it with your wardrobe. Colored leather is the answer. Saturated colors of leather (genuine or synthetic) are gaining major traction, ranging from brilliant shades of zesty orange to gorgeous hues that reflect the freshness of sharp greens. It’s not for the faint of heart, but a pair of magenta patent leather leggings will undoubtedly draw notice. Scandi labels like Rotate by Birger Christensen and Hosbjerg, as predicted, have been all over the growing trend, offering two-piece colourful sets that have quickly taken over social media. Other items, like Simon Miller’s patent pants, are in high demand, with additional designers quickly following after with their multicolored leather interpretations.
It’s fairly easy to accomplish if you find out how to balance their vibrancy, but if you’re still stumped, don’t worry—I’ve got plenty of examples below. Give your black leather pants a break and embrace the colorful side—you’ll get plenty of praises. Mixing neutrals never fails, and putting together a palette of bold hues works as well. The trick is to keep all of your colors on the extreme side of the spectrum so that a common thread can be seen. Take, for example, this eye-catching purple and orange combination.
Because red leather is already obnoxious, you may as well go all out. Adding contrasting designs to your colored leather item adds an artistic touch to it. Remember to keep all of your prints in the same color family.
