How to get your leather fix in the summer...

We've all been tempted to wear our favorite leather in the sweltering heat of the summer, but is it really hot-weather friendly? The quick answer is... absolutely!!

Leather weather

Many popular fashion designers have reinvented leather specifically for the summer season. Leather dyed in brilliant colors, cut to flatter the feminine shape, and made available in a variety of pieces are just a few ways that designers have made leather accessible for the summer.

The best way to extend the life of your leather wear is to wear classic pieces that make for an easy transition into autumn. High-waisted leather shorts, flowy blouses in bright colors, and leather skirts are a few pieces that have increased in leather popularity.

Two tips for summer leather weather


1. Wear the smallest dose of leather - leather is so sexy, but please keep in mind that you can only tolerate so much in the heat of summer. If you're spending the day in air conditioning, a leather blazer may not be so bad, but for a walk on the beach... not so much. Including simple leather accents as part of your ensemble goes a long way... leather headbands, shorts, perforated driving gloves, and shorter leather skirts are some simple suggestions to beat the heat while still indulging in leather.   

2. Keep seasonal practicality in mind - I have a bad habit of buying delightful leather pants and jackets in the summer (when they're on sale), and it kills me to have to wait until cooler weather to wear them! Take a look at what these designers have come up with to get away with our warm weather leather!!

Regardless of what form of leather you choose, we recommend pairing it with a light, flowy top and sandals to keep your ensemble lightweight, summery, and altogether elegant for the summer.

Ines Glove of the Week

Introducing... the cow leather fashion bowling bag!

I'm always of the opinion that nothing makes a stronger fashion statement than the bag you carry. Ines' cow leather fashion bowling bag certainly accomplishes just that! This bag is manufactured from black and white, soft calf leather, and is lined with a very rich, strong, red, silk lining.

One of my favorite features of this bag (other than the cow design, of course!) is pockets... 2 cell phone pockets on the inside, an exterior zippered pouch, and a top zipper to protect your belongings. This bag is very unique, very classy, and would make an elegant, funky addition to even the largest wardrobe!

For a matching look, try pairing the cow leather bowling bag with a pair of cow leather driving gloves!

Leather fashions were a huge hit at this year's L'Oreal Canada Fashion Week in one of Canada's fashion capitals, Toronto, Ontario. Montreal designer Evik Asatoorian featured some timeless leather fashions for spring in his famous Rudsak collection...

This red leather jacket is perfect for getting noticed! Very sultry when paired with white leather half gloves and leather pants. This look could also be created using Ines' leather leg gloves and a thigh-length, flirty top for the spring.

When you're looking to spice things up for an evening out, the black-on-black look of a matching leather jacket and gloves is perfect! This look really stands out when complemented by the matching white pants and clutch, not to mention a cute pair of strappy shoes. If you're looking to really pop, try a black and brilliant red combination... all eyes will be on you!

With the warm summer weather on its way, women are starting to step out in shorts and sandals once again. These cute leather shorts are the perfect way to show off your freshly tanned legs!
