They are similar to leather jackets, except they feature a slightly more formal appearance. All blazers are semi-casual, and leather blazers are no exception. They are less formal than suit jackets, but they are more formal than sports coats. As a result, leather blazers offer a balance between casual and formal attire.

Of course, you’ll need to choose the right type of leather blazer to take full advantage of this attractive, versatile form of outerwear.

As the name suggests, a leather skirt is a women’s skirt featuring a leather construction. Like other skirts, it’s worn around the waist from which it hangs down. The difference is that while other skirts are made of traditional materials like cotton or wool, leather skirts are made of genuine leather. Some leather skirts are made of cowhide leather, whereas others are made of sheepskin or deerskin leather. Regardless, they are all made of high-quality animal hide that’s been tanned and processed. The end result is a premium skirt that’s both stylish and comfortable. The Benefits of Wearing a Leather Skirt Why should you wear a leather skirt exactly?

Who says leather jackets are only available in traditional colors like black and brown? While black and brown are undoubtedly popular colors, you can find leather jackets available in dozens of other colors. Red leather jackets, for example, have become an increasingly popular choice among fashion-conscious women. With their red color, they offer a brighter and more attention-grabbing appearance that many women prefer. If you’re planning to wear a red leather jacket, though, you should consider the nine following tips. #1) Pair With Dark Pants or Trousers Because red leather jackets are bright, they tend to look best when paired with dark pants or trousers. In other words, don’t wear yellow, red or other bright-colored pants or trousers with your red leather jacket. Instead, choose dark-colored pants or trousers. Indigo or black jeans, for example, will complement your otherwise bright red leather jacket. #2) Choose a High-Quality Red Leather Jacket Not all red leather jackets are the same same. Some are made using higher-quality leather than others. If you’re looking to create an attractive outfit, you should choose a red leather jacket made of high-quality leather. The Leather Jacket #210 sold here at LeatherCult, for example, features a premium construction consisting of genuine napa sheepskin leather. With its napa sheepskin leather construction, you can rest assured knowing the Leather Jacket #210 won’t degrade. #3) When In Doubt, Wear a White Shirt If you’re struggling to find the perfect shirt to wear with your red leather jacket, choose a white shirt. Whether it’s a t-shirt, a dress shirt or a blouse, white shirts look amazing when worn in conjunction with...

They are distinguished, however, by the presence of an extra piece of material on the front. The extra material is designed to partially cover your chest when worn. It’s held in place by two straps, resulting in a similar style as suspenders and overalls. To wear dungarees, you must pull the straps over your shoulders. You can then adjust the straps to create the perfect fit. The length of dungarees varies. Some dungarees only extend to the thighs, whereas others extend all the way to the ankles. And there are plenty of dungarees that fall somewhere in the middle. You can also find dungarees available in countless colors and designs. Regardless, they all have an extra piece of material on the front, which is held in by place by two shoulder straps. Why Should I Wear Dungarees?

While fashion trends constantly change from year to year, there’s one trend that safe from the hands of time: leather jackets. What Is a Leather Jacket? A leather jacket, as the name suggests, is a type of men’s and women’s outerwear that features a leather construction. Most jackets available for sale are made of conventional textile materials like polyester, wool and cotton (or a combination thereof).

Leather caps have become an increasingly popular fashion accessory. Worn by men and women alike, they feature the same design as most other caps, allowing them to be worn over the head. Leather caps are unique, however, because they are made of genuine leather. While most caps are made of traditional textiles like cotton and polyester, leather caps are made of leather. Below are nine benefits of wearing a leather cap. Shape Retention Leather caps offer excellent shape retention. Even when worn on a daily basis for multiple consecutive months, a leather cap will still offer the same shape in which it was originally made. The same can’t be said about other caps. Cotton, polyester and other traditional textiles often succumb to deformation. If you wear a cap made of a traditional tile for long enough, it may lose its original shape. You can rest assured knowing, however, that a leather cap will retain its shape long after you purchase and wear it. Soft Texture It’s also worth mentioning that leather caps have a super-soft texture. Other caps typically feel scratchy, which can lead to discomfort over the course of a day. Leather, on the other hand, is a super-soft textile, making it a better choice for a cap. Whether you wear it for a few hours or multiple consecutive days, a leather cap won’t scratch or irritate your head. Natural Elasticity Thanks to leather’s natural elasticity, a leather cap will contour to comfortably fit your head. Leather is more elastic than other textiles in the construction of caps. As a result, a leather cap won’t fit, nor will...

It’s almost winter time, which means you can expect cooler temperatures in the coming weeks. While any type of high-quality coat or jacket can help protect you from the cold winter temperatures, hooded leather jackets are particularly useful for this purpose. Featuring a genuine leather construction, they offer a superior level of warmth. As a result, you should consider investing in a hooded leather jacket to better prepare yourself for the winter season. What Is a Hooded Leather Jacket? A hooded leather jacket is a form of outerwear that features a leather construction as well as a hood. Most leather jackets, of course, don’t have a hood. And without a hood, they don’t offer any protection for your head. Rather, your head will be exposed to the elements at all times. A hooded leather jacket, on the other hand, allows you to cover your head if it’s cold or raining outside. You distinguish hooded leather jackets from traditional hooded leather jackets by looking for a hood. Like other hooded garments — sweaters, sweatshirts, coats, etc. — they have a piece of fitted material at the top that you can pull over the top of your head. If you see this material on a leather jacket, it’s classified as a hooded leather jacket. If it doesn’t feature a hood, it’s not a hooded leather jacket. How a Hooded Leather Jacket Keeps You Warm If you’re looking for a jacket that will keep you warm this winter, you can’t go wrong with a hooded leather jacket. Leather itself is a particularly warm material, making it ideal to wear during the winter...

Leather belts are worn with a variety of pants, trousers, dresses and other garments. As you may know, they are worn around the waist — typically through a series of multiple loops — to secure the garment to your body. With that said, a leather belt can also enhance your outfit by adding new colors and patterns. But if you’re going to accessorize your outfit with a leather belt, there are a few things you need to know. In this post, you’ll learn several things to look for when choosing a leather belt. Stick With a Cohesive Color for All Leather A good rule of thumb to follow is to choose a leather belt in the same color as the other leather garments, as well as accessories, with which you intend to wear it. What does this mean exactly? Assuming the only leather item you wear is a belt, you can choose a leather belt in any color. But if you’re going to wear a leather belt with leather shoes or a leather jacket, you should choose a belt in the same color as your shoes or jacket. Make Sure It Fits A leather belt isn’t going to offer much value unless it fits around your waist. After all, that’s the whole point of wearing a belt — to define your waistline while securing your pants or trousers in place. If you choose a leather belt that’s too small for your waist, you won’t be able to wear it; it’s just that simple. If you choose an oversized leather belt, on the other hand, it may look awkward when...
