For fashionistas with a rock and roll edge, there’s nothing like Spring 2016’s leather runway trend to help you channel your inner rebel. This season, leather made a fierce statement on the catwalks and left its mark in the form of bold jackets, tops and bottoms. Whether you’re planning to sport flowing, cropped leather trousers or embrace this material in the form of a flirty bandeau top, try finding your sartorial inspiration on the runway. Here are a few ways to wear the season’s luxurious leather on the weekend, at the office and after hours.

Casual Chic

For a perfectly cool Saturday look, take your cues from the Louis Vuitton runway and swap your black biker jacket for a sleek black leather topper with a mandarin collar and gleaming metallic military buttons. To balance out the sophisticated and slightly formal feel of the jacket, style your leather with funky, patterned white pants. For a finishing touch, grab a metallic box clutch and slip into a pair of shiny black leather loafers with silver chain detail.

Work Wear

You may believe that rebellious leather has no place at the office, but the Spring 2016 aesthetic at Ralph Lauren will certainly prove you wrong. Try rocking the trend in a pair of dark tan leather culottes, for a welcome change from classic black leather. Accessorize your ensemble with a crisp white collared shirt, preppy cobalt blue knit sweater and a coordinating orange leather handbag.

Evening

As the sun sets and the night begins, swap your conservative daytime leather for a playful, sultry take on this versatile material. Capture your inner femme fatale in a black leather bandeau paired with a fringe-accented and embroidered black leather blazer (as seen at Barbara Bui). Tone down the striking look with a skinny black belt and a pair of plum-coloured suede skinny trousers for the ultimate in chic. Whether you’re just sipping cocktails or perhaps wishing you were a rock star yourself, the combination of leather and suede is a winning mix for any party girl.
