As the temperature drop ushers in a new season of sartorial allure, there’s one material on our radars for this winter – leather. While it has always been a steadfast staple in our transitional wardrobes, its dominance on the runways this season has certainly caught our attention. From the Matrix-style trenches showcased at Zadig & Voltaire to the grungy matching mini ensemble seen at Simkhai, there’s been an abundance of leather in designer collections as of late. 

Though we’ve seen a rise in leather motorcycle jackets and full length leather coats, nothing compares to the versatility of a classic biker jacket. Effortlessly transitioning from casual cool to evening chic, you can pair it with a white tee and jeans, or drape it over a dress for an instant touch of edge. Another indispensable staple to keep in circulation in your wardrobe is an impeccably-cut leather pant or skirt. Whatever tickles you, whether it be a boxy high-waisted leather pant or a micro-mini leather skirt, you can easily find a piece that resonates with your personal style. 

Once you’ve sorted your key staples, it’s time to indulge in the art of accessorising. A sumptuous pair of leather boots or a belt help to break up and add a bit of personality to any outfit. And, naturally, no wardrobe is truly complete without the presence of a timeless leather bag—an ever-loyal companion that, when cared for diligently, can last the test of time.

For those seeking a dose of inspiration on leather investments, look no further.
