Must-Have Coat Trends: Leather-Detail

Leather-Detail Coat

Leather-Detail Coat by theclosetbychristie featuring a grey knee length skirt

Leather always makes a bold impact! Whether you’re looking to add a little edge to your look or want that crisp high-class vibe, leather can go either way. It’s all in the way you style it! Leather details were a huge trend for Spring 2013 and really allowed us to ‘go there’ by mixing styles. Now, as we move into the chilly Fall and Winter seasons, we’re incorporating these leather details onto our coats. Leather trim, leather sleeves, leather pockets.. I’ve seen it all!

In the above set, I featured a black Victoria Beckham leather-trimmed cape coat. The leather detailing on this coat adds a really prim, sophisticated style to it. It also works as a border to emphasize the collar and pocket details. For the look, I featured a cobalt peplum top paired with a grey tweed pencil skirt. I love this look because of the rich colors and texture. I accessorized with black Rachel Zoe suede loafers and a yellow Phillip Lim for Target mini-satchel. The bag adds a bright color pop to our deep, rich color palette. For jewelry, I chose a Vince Camuto geometric bangle and gold Lucky Brand chandelier earrings.
