Nothing says modern fashion like an elegant leather dress. Featuring the subtle yet sophisticated characteristics that define leather, it’s a stunning choice that’s sure to enhance any woman’s appearance. But like most garments, the trick to successfully wearing a leather dress in the most appealing manner possible lies in the accessories.
Unfortunately, many women struggle to choose accessories for their leather dress. Because this isn’t an ordinary cotton dress, it requires a different approach. If you wear the same “ordinary” accessories with it, you’ll likely fail to achieve an attractive, thought-out look. So, what are some good accessories to wear with a leather dress?
Belt
Just because your leather dress lacks the standard belt loops around the waistline doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t wear a belt with it. On the contrary, accessorizing your leather dress with a belt is a great way to enhance its appearance while adding new color to your outfit. If you have a black leather dress, for instance, try accessorizing it with a red belt. The contrasting relationship between the black and red creates a stunningly bold appearance that’s sure to turn heads.
High Heels
High heels are an excellent choice of footwear for a leather dress, assuming you choose the right color. Going back to the example above, if you’re going to wear a black leather dress with a red belt, then you should complete the look with a pair of red high-heeled shoes. Maintaining cohesion with your belt and shoes is essential to creating a uniform look.
Clutch Purse
Yes, a clutch purse is also considered an accessory — and it’s a particularly beneficial accessory for leather dresses. A fashionable clutch purse will add just the right amount of style to a leather dress, complimenting its natural colors for an even greater level of aesthetics. Some women may argue otherwise, but I recommend sticking with a small clutch purse, as this keeps the focus on your leather dress.
Jewelry
We can’t talk about accessories for a leather dress without mentioning jewelry. Whether you prefer large hoop earrings or small diamond studs, the right earrings will go a long ways in completing your look. Other types of jewelry to consider wearing with a leather dress includes bracelets, necklaces, and rings. Just remember to maintain a sense of cohesion throughout your outfit, using a single color/style of jewelry.
