It’s all over the high street and there’s no escaping it this season but there’s still something a little bit scary about leather.
My first foray into the world of leather was in the eighties and lets just say it wasn’t good. Second time around I faired slightly better in a pair of buttery soft Joseph kick flare trousers I cherished and wore until they came apart at the seams.
Faced with the prospect of wearing it for a third time I’m taking a different approach. For starters it’s not about squeezing my booty in the tightest pair of trousers I can find anymore. That ship has sailed. What I’m hankering for is a stylish leather midi skirt I can team with a cashmere knit or a crisp white shirt. After a month of hiding my legs in jeans I’m determined to be ready when warmer weather arrives.
M&S have a beautiful red leather midi skirt that might just have my name on it. For the perfect pair of leather trousers check out Frame’s ‘Le Crop’ mini boot leg. The kick flare stops the whole thing looking a bit nineties because nobody wants that. Oh and FYI, Baujken’s leather shirt dress has been reduced to £419. Today is going to be all about self control. And hiding my credit card.
