Don't fear to wear Leather

Leather as a material has long been denigrated in fashion as it was more associated with biker gangs and heavy metal rockers.
But then, things changed and pretty much all influential designers started showing leather on the runway, making it less outcast. 

Ok Queens, we need to take a break here, we all know real leather is priceless.  Which also means it’s pricy,that perhaps may not always make your bank account happy. If you can not or don’t want to afford the real leather, faux  is more than ok! But please If you choose faux leather, make sure to buy high quality. Poorly made ones can easily turn your look from chic to shoddy. That for sure we don't want.
Ok now let us see how to rock a leather piece without looking like a groupie.

How to wear leather
a leather blazer or jacket
This is the classic old approach.It can be worn with a dress or a denim.













 a leather pant 
 Queens Leather pants need not be “I’m in a rock band” black to look cool.  Ditch the dark and make your style pop with a dose of color.  Black is so expected.  Change it up.
More over,tight leather pants may have been the must for 80′s, but in the real world, most ladies aren’t about to step out like they’re in a Catwoman film.In fact too tight leather pants, or anything for that matter, is uncomfortable and looks silly. Find a pair(even a baggy leather pant) that fits your body and is comfortable .

KMS advice:Queens you already know what we think of  the total look.Here again it isn’t just because you found that perfect pair of leather you were looking for ,that it  means  you have to show your excitement by pairing it with  leather tops and leather accessories. Instead of getting into head-to-toe leather mode, temper your shiny legs with a loose cotton sweater or go for some leather ‘n lace mod.


 a leather short

Shorts are a great way to wear leather. Do not wear them  too tight ,to avoid groopie style.
a leather skirt


Designers have done a great job here and constantly the cut is evolving.More over , even the old classic cut has been freshened up.
a leather dress

Leather likes when we combine textures .Doing it in one piece or when pairing with other pieces of different textures.






For which style
Ok Queens our aim during this exercise will be to lower the rebel or dominative side of the leather and combine it to keep the whole look feminine. We choose 4 styles here edgy,casual, casual chic, chic

EDGY
These fashionista’s look is classically styled with an edgy leather skirt , polka dot top or a sweat .The final touch could be a red lipstick to give the look a tough and edgy vibe.Of course always wear heels.




CASUAL


A leather motor jacket on a sumer dress or a leather croped skirt on a top with a pair of flats will be enough for this style.











CASUAL  CHIC

Leather pants tends to be a very good alternative to denim when you want to add a little twist to a classic outfit.Combine it with wedges and a feminine  top ,pick a colored or light one to avoid the dark rock look.


Another alternative could be a maxi dress under a leather blazer with a pair of flats.

CHIC
 To keep the look as feminine as possible nothing works better than a floral dress. The key lies in pairing your dress with a cropped leather blazer .
Today a leather jacket can be worn even with a tailored dress,and match it perfectly.

we can also bet on a leather pant paired with a flawless silk blouse or a pencil skirt paired with a lacy top to balance everything out.Statement accessories of course and heels please!.



Ok Queens now that you have all the tips just rock your leather piece!
