Today's outfit was inspired by a popular trend for this season - leather. I've been spotting more and more celebs wearing the leather trouser lately. Most of the ladies sitting front row for Burberry Prorsum S/S12 runway show at London Fashion Week proved that this is a look we definately should follow....
I love the look of leather. If worn correctly it can look extremely chic and is a great way to inject instant style into any outfit. When choosing a pair of leather trousers or leggings it's important they are of impeccable fit. Over time, with wear, the trouser will stretch out and eventually look saggy!
A right pair allows plenty of great looks for both day and night. Ellie Goulding does the daytime look with elegance by choosing a feminine blouse. I personally love this look and use it as my inspiration for today's outfit. For an evening look, add stilettos and a tailored blazer as Gemma has done.
While black is the traditional colour to choose, now we are seeing more daring colours such as red, brown and burnt orange. This is a fun and young way of wearing the leather trend.
If this trend is too overhwhelming for you, then why not try it in small doses by choosing leggings with leather panels.....as I have done!
