8 Essential Leather Fashion Items You Must Own Now

For high-quality fashion accessories, you just can’t beat leather. It looks good, it smells good, and it lasts. The good quality leather won’t fade or tear like plastic coated or vinyl alternatives. So save yourself from tatty accessories this season, with these must-have essentials:

1. Jacket – The leather jacket is a classic. It’s been popular since the mid-twentieth century and made iconic by the late Jimmy Dean. Men and women look fabulous in leather jackets. For the girls, the waistline is the best cut off point for the length of a good jacket. For men, something a little lower works perfectly. You could even go all-out and hit that ‘Matrix’ full-length look!

2. Watches – A good leather watch strap is perfect if you have a nickel or other metal allergy. The straps in leather tend to be harder wearing than some of the metal straps because they are solid rather than interlinked. You also get far more choices in color and finish with a leather watch strap.

3. Wallets – All good wallets come in luxury leathers. It doesn’t matter what color you choose, although most girls like one to match their favorite handbag. The choice of material can make a lot of difference to the quality of your wallet and how hard-wearing it will be. You can look at Shinola wallets to see how much variety there is in color and finish.

4. Smartphone case – Every phone deserves a high-quality case. Choose a really good flip case to ensure your screen is protected. Many good leather cell cases include card slots for your ID and credit card. We all have our phones on us all the time, so this saves dragging a big bag around for that impromptu stroll.

5. iPad case – More of us are taking our iPads or tablets with us whenever we head out. They’re really expensive to replace if the screen gets cracked to make sure yours is in a good quality case when you’re out and about. Of course, they are easy to spot, so don’t be caught in public with something cheap and nasty. Invest in a good leather case for your iPad.

6. Bracelets – A leather twist or plait bracelet finishes off a casual outfit beautifully. They’re particularly popular with men right now. But there are plenty of lady celebs sporting these great little accessories too.

7. Shoes – A good shoe is born in leather. This is because leather is the hardest wearing and breathable material for your feet. Leather can be easily manipulated for shape, color, and texture. This is why all the best shoes out there are made from this luxury material.

8. Handbags – Handbags, backpacks, man-bags, and briefcases have long been made from leather. They look good, and it’s the sign of a high-quality item. Nothing in a man-made material comes close enough to the luxurious feel of leather.

Leather is considered to be high-end and luxury, but that is more to do with the higher quality you get from leather products. Dressing yourself in leather items makes a fashion statement too. It’s practical, functional, stylish and glamorous. Make leather your fabric choice this season.
