Hollywood actress Charlize Theron is no stranger to leather wear. She wore a smashing red leather dress from Dior at the 2011 premiere of her latest feature film Young Adult.
However, you don't need a celebrity budget or a fabulous movie premiere to pull off this so-called "fetish trend". Instead, just a few quick tips will allow you to unleash your inner wild child while keeping your leather look classy and practical...
1. Invest in versatile pieces. If this is your first venture into leather wear, it may help to begin with a few staple pieces, such as gloves, a jacket, or pants, rather than a daring leather dress. You'll be more comfortable, and eventually will work your way up to a stunner. Try a casual, rocker-chick look or use your leather piece as part of a catchy evening ensemble. Experiment... you can't go wrong with leather!
2. Cover those long legs. Well, in the winter anyway. If you do brave the elements and sport that sexy leather dress, include a pair of nude tights to keep your legs warm.
3. Add a uniquely feminine accent. For a touch of class, pair a woven, sleeveless dress with a pair of
sensual long leather gloves. Or, try a fitted leather pencil skirt with a crisp white blouse for a distinctive, feminine, classy look.
It's pretty clear that Charlize is no stranger to leather, so you shouldn't be either!
