Typically reserved for fall and winter, leather is making a big splash this spring, thanks to a lighter, more feminine look and feel.
Embrace the unexpected warm weather leather look by selecting pieces in cool colors enhanced with delicate embroidery, laser-cut details or perforated accents.
We've already spotted a number of chic celebs like Jessica Alba, Diane Kruger and Shay Mitchell taking this trend for a spin with varied versions of the edgy fabrication.
We especially love this look because it combines soft, flirty elements with the most unexpected treatment, giving off a striking spring look that works for day or night.
Best of all, there's a spring leather style for everyone at every budget!
Designers like Derek Lam, Balmain, Celine, Jason Wu and 3.1 Phillip Lim showed a number of fresh designs on their spring runways, but there are a number of wallet-friendly versions, as well.
Ready to rock this sweet-meets-chic trend?
We've sourced everything from a studded skater dress and pleated pleather skirt to a pair of lace-trimmed shorts and an office-appropriate top in a standout color.
Or, ease into the trend with a knockout accessory like a pretty pair of colorful leather ballet flats or a lace-inspired leather handbag.
