How to wear a leather dress?

One of the timeless trends is natural leather. The leather dress can be easily styled in many ways and is an absolute ‘must have’ in a woman’s wardrobe. You can wear it both casually and for more formal occasions. Thanks to its noble texture, this dress plays the leading role in your outfit – a few matching accessories are enough to create an interesting look. What to wear with a leather dress? Check out our suggestions!

One dress – many possibilities!

Natural leather clothes and accessories can be worn in all seasons. It is perfect for the spring/summer season. But even when the cooler months arrive, you do not have to put them away – a definite plus! A leather dress will also be an interesting complement to your autumn and winter outfits. A wide choice of colours and cuts makes it suitable for women of all body types and looks. You can wear it as a monochromatic total look or in ethnic and boho stylizations. You can also use it as an interesting alternative to a classic little black dress. What accessories should you wear with a leather dress? How can you style it?

Leather dress for monochrome looks

There is no denying that leather is perfect for this role! The secret to a great total look is to mix and match pieces of the same colour but with different textures. Depending on the type of finish, different materials refract light differently and we perceive the same colour differently. Pair a black leather dress with a dark jacket and an elegant handbag with a smooth or embossed surface to create a classic total black outfit. In this way even black looks light.

However, monochrome combinations offer much more possibilities. If you have a warm skin type and do not look good in black clothes close to your face, go for this season’s trendy beige and browns. Match a warm-coloured dress with a wide belt, for example, and add accessories such as a handbag and shoes in a matching shade.

A leather dress – for everyday or just for special occasions?

In fact, it is perfect for any of these roles. It all depends on its colour, cut and of course the accessories you choose. For formal occasions, a simple, slightly fitted cut in classic black will work best. Match it with:

• an elegant jacket,

• pumps or high heels,

• a handbag of the same colour to match the shoes.

Think about jewellery too. If you like wearing jewellery, they will be a great addition to your look. Black is the perfect backdrop for both gold and silver. Remember, however, that in this case less is definitely more. The leather texture is so expressive on its own that it is a good idea to match it with simple, minimalist jewellery accessories that are unobtrusive.

A leather dress for a casual look

But is a leather dress only suitable for special occasions? Of course not! There is nothing stopping you from creating an urban look with it. Go for a lighter colour and a casual cut. For example, go for a shirtdress. Beige dress with front fastening is the basis for spring-summer outfits in boho and safari style. Match it with suede cowboy boots, a fringed handbag and ethnic jewellery, and you are ready to go!

You can also wear a classic leather mini black skirt, but combine it with other accessories. Swap a formal jacket for a biker jacket, classic stilettos for rocker boots and a clutch bag for a roomy shopper. This way you will create an interesting urban look, elegant and casual at the same time.

How to choose a dress colour to suit your skin type?

The right colour dress will enhance your beauty. According to colour analysis, spring and autumn types with a dusky, peachy or olive skin tone are most suited to warm colours. They harmonise very well with the natural skin tone. If you have fair skin with a slightly pinkish tinge, go for cool colours.

An even better option is to buy a dress in classic black or beige. The neutral colour will make it a universal base in your wardrobe. By choosing the right accessories and jewellery, you can wear it for any occasion. Then use accessories – such as a silk scarf or shawl – from your colour palette near your face.
