The Leather Vest

Leather vests are always a great way to go during sizzling summer heat because they can be worn over just about anything from dresses, to tanks and cutoffs. We love this vest, as it’s simple enough to make a great summer statement as well as a fantastic fall essential.

Leather Accessories

Accessories are always a great way to go with leather if you’re not into wearing it in your summer wardrobe. This bracelet is a fabulous summery look with the gold chain; throw it on with any outfit for a little extra edge.

Leather Tanks

Leather tanks and dresses are also a great way to go for warm weather. This piece is perfect for a summer night out on the town, and can easily be transitioned into cold weather with long sleeves underneath! Work this in with a breezy skirt for the day, or a pair of dark wash jeans and nude pumps for a chic downtown look.

Leather Shorts

Leather shorts were showing up everywhere last summer and our love for this look still hasn’t changed! These high-waist shorts are fantastic for summer with the wide leg to keep you cool and they make for a great casual daytime outfit. Bring the look back into fall with a pair of tights and boots underneath!
