A skirt is an essential garment that every woman should own. Not only are they stylish, but they are also super comfortable, with many women preferring them over traditional pants for this very reason. Rather than wearing just another generic all-cotton skirt, however, you should differentiate yourself from the rest by sporting a leather skirt. Leather skirts have become increasingly popular in recent years. They combine the timeless style of skirts with the uniquely attractive and comfortable characteristics of leather. The end result is a truly one-of-a-kind style that’s perfect for all women. However, there are a few things you should know when choosing a leather skirt. Choose a Genuine Leather Skirt Don’t make the mistake of buying a fake or “faux” leather skirt. Just like some leather jackets are made of fake/faux leather, so are some skirts. Unfortunately, however, these skirts don’t offer the same attractive characteristics and qualities as the real deal. Faux leather skirts are often rough, uncomfortable to wear, and more susceptible to damage. Granted, it may look similar to an actual genuine leather skirt, but because it’s made of synthetic material, it doesn’t offer the same benefits. The bottom line is that you should skip the faux leather skirts and invest in a 100% genuine leather skirt instead. Trust me, it’s well worth the money in the long run. Pencil Style for Formal Occasions One of the great things about leather skirts is the simple fact that they can be worn for either formal or casual occasions. If you plan on wearing a leather skirt for a formal occasion, though, it’s recommended that you...

Today marks the first official day of the spring season. With this seasonal transitional comes warm weather, longer days, new plan life, and the opportunity to change your style. While there are dozens of ways to change your style, one of the easiest is to invest in a genuine leather jacket. But if you’re thinking about a new leather jacket, you should familiarize yourself with the following trends. Focus on High-Quality Leather There’s been a growing focus on high-quality leather jackets in recent years, and rightfully so: many retail and department stores attempt to save money and cut corners by selling cheap jackets made of fake leather. Although they look similar to jackets made of genuine leather, they don’t offer the same level of appeal, durability and overall quality. Fake leather jackets have a tendency to degrade and break down more quickly. As a result, many people are staying away from these fake leather jackets, choosing jackets made of 100% genuine high-quality leather instead. Beyond Cow’s Skin Leather It’s also worth noting that many leather jackets are now being made with ultra-high-quality sheep skins leather instead of cow’s skin. In the past, nearly all leather jackets were made of cow’s skin. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with cow’s skin leather. On the contrary, it’s strong, durable, and readily available. However, many manufacturers have since transitioned to sheep skin leather for its luxurious properties and characteristics, some of which aren’t found in cow’s skin leather.

Ever wish you could live like a rock star? Sure you do! Everyone has dreamed of being a rock star at some point in their life. While you probably won’t be able to learn an instrument and start a successful band anytime soon, you can still “look” like a rock star by wearing the right clothes, including leather pants. Ever since the genre first emerged during the 1950s, rock stars have differentiated themselves through their unique fashion choices. Rather than wearing the same generic clothes as the general population, they sought to achieve a unique style. It’s safe to say this worked, as soon their fans and followers began to replicate their style. Today, rock stars continue to distinguish themselves through their fashion choices, preferring unique styles over generic and mainstream styles. Elvis Presley When talking about rock star fashion and how these musicians shaped the world of modern-day fashion, look no further than Elvis Presley as a prime example of how rock stars influence fashion. Born January 8, 1935, Elvis “The King” Presley was arguably one of the most notable and influential rock stars of all time. His career as a rock star began in 1954, during which he recorded a song with legendary music producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Presley didn’t follow the same low-beat style of music as other musicians before him. Instead, he went against the grain by focusing his music on uptempo while combining elements of country and rhythm and blues. In addition to his unique music of the time, Presley was also a pioneer of fashion. He often wore leather pants, which...

Known as fake or “faux” leather, it’s cheaper than the real deal, though this one case in which the saying “You get what you pay for holds true.” Faux leather jackets aren’t as soft, nor do they feature the same level of attention to detail.

You’ll pay a premium, only to get a low-quality leather jacket. Furthermore, most local retail and department stores sell leather jackets in standard sizing. This meas the store won’t customize the jacket to your body measurements. And being that no two people have the exact same...
