Just a few months ago, I was lounging around the house reading the march edition of InStyle magazine when I saw the spring prediction for trends consisted of bold floral prints, black and white graphics and… pastel leather.
According to InStyle, leather is no longer just a winter staple. Instead, it can and has easily transitioned into spring’s pastel colors. I read the whole article front to back and then pondered, “how can anyone pull of pastel colored leather garments?”
Well ladies, I have finally found the answer to my question. Rihanna, Heather Graham and Ashley Madekwe not only make this look work, they make this look practical for the masses!
If you can take a moment to look past her stunning beauty and dazzling good looks, you will see that Rihanna is wearing a Tiffany blue pleated leather skirt and she looks gorgeous! When I first saw this look my jaw literally dropped! If this is what pastel leather entails than I am most definitely jumping on this trend!
Rihanna is a fashion wild card and this outfit is no different! She flaunts are perfect shape while donning this flowing leather skirt and long sleeve button down that was completely unbuttoned! She looks fabulous and has definitely made me reconsider my qualms with pastel leather garments.
A garment like this is great to have because it is versatile and can easily go from daytime to nighttime.Although Rihanna wears this skirt for a dinner date I would wear this skirt out with the girls for a day trip into D.C., to a barbeque, or anywhere else I could think of! I am honestly obsessed with this skirt! Obsessed!
Another example of a perfect pastel spring leather can be seen in this picture of Heather Graham wearing an Alice +Olivia dress. All too often I see women (and I am guilty of it too) wearing only dark colored or black leather. Heather shows us that there are cute ways to bring this textile into spring.
I love the cut and color of this dress! The length is perfect and the dress contours prefectly to the shape of her body. I am glad that her stylist decided to keep the look simple because the dress is already a huge statement and the shoes are very trendy as well. In this outfit, balance is key; loud jewelry would overwhelm the look and ruin the outfit.
I have mentioned this next beauty in another blog and now I must reference her yet again! Ashley Madekwefrom Revenge and her blog Ring My Bell has the more adorable pair of foam leather J Brand shorts! Although they are a bit pricey at $425 per pair they are so cute and stylish it may be worth the splurge!
The shorts have an elastic band for added comfort and side-seam pockets. They are great for running errands during the day or a lunch date with friends. You can easily transition this piece into the evening hours with just a blazer and some pumps!
If you are still unsure of the pastel leather trend, take a look at some of these great other leather options that can easily fit into any woman’s wardrobe!
What do you think of the pastel leather trend, Lovelies?
