Leather Details - Trend Fixation

One of my favorite trends right now is leather detailing. This can be as simple as adding a leather pocket or giving a jacket a whole new look with leather sleeves. Leather in general has a reputation for being rugged and edgy. Therefore, adding one small piece of leather gives a simple garment some edge and sophistication.

I just can't seem to get enough of this trend; and I myself, own a few pieces and want to own more. Now, I personally don't like to wear real leather but I do love the look/trend of leather detailing. Some of my favorite leather details include: leather sleeves, collars, pockets, elbows, linings, lapels, and trims. Smaller leather details are also great to pair back to leather shoes, accessories, or bottoms (pants, skirts, shorts, etc.).

The following are some examples of leather detailing that show how great this trend is for fall. Enjoy!
