FASHION PICKS: LOVIN’ LEATHER…
Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Last year, I did a tidbit on the fellas rocking leather, but there is a notable trend of ladies getting leathered up this winter season as well.
Of course, leather is the perfect chill covering, but with so many designers offering different styles and silhouettes of the material on Fall/Winter runways (Louis Vuitton and Hermes, are few of many) - ladies could go beyond just a nice leather jacket in 2008. How about a sexy leather dress for that late night out? Cassie and Alicia Keys rocks theirs to perfection…

Show your love with leather this season with some suggestions. And stay warm ;)…

I’m not much of a leather person, unless it’s shoes or purses. The stuff shown is hot though.

Most people that comment on here are not rich and I could think of so many other ways to spend my money rather than these outdated lether looks..I can hear PETA calling Alicia & Cassie Now. lol. They already had Alicia on their list for wearing a lot of leather before.lol.

I like Cassie’s look and Alicia Key’s dress is cute. I don’t like the dress the models are rocking on the runway at all. But whatever, I probably can’t afford it anyway.

Leather coats…jackets and shoes yes. Leather dresses and pants…err I don’t think so. That is really doing too much…
My fashionista auntie bought me a leather skirt that is the same color as Alicia’s dress for X.Mas. I wasn’t feeling it then…and I’m still not feeling it even after seeing this post lol. At least I now see the look she was aiming for though lol.

The whole style looks cheap! But Alicia and Cassie makes the style worth wearing.

People always have negative stuff to say smh. I personally, love Cassie’s dress and I don’t like Cassie so that’s a first and I am diggin A. Keys dress as well. I am not a fan of leather per say, but I always wanted a leather dress and if worn right leather can definitely be a good look for some people and it is a good catch for the winter season. Its all about how you wear something. So kudos to the designers trying to do big things with leather this season.

I love leather, i just don’t believe in wearing the entire animal at once, i would wear shoes and a handbag, or pants with a top.

WHO CARES ABOUT PETA? They don’t have the right to tell people what they can and can’t wear. I wish they would walk up to Mary J or somebody. They would get put in their place immediately.

The dresses and skirts are overkill and 80’s. Leather is best worn sparingly, as an accessory.

I love this look on them its hot. I dont see a difference in wearing the dress and leather boots or rocking a purse- its still leather and if it fits you, do you!

I like the look. If I find a nice leather dress I would definetly rock it. And let me just say if a certain celeb, who always has Peta on her azz, was pictured rocking a hot leather dress/skirt or whatever, most people on here would be all over the trend.

I don’t do leather clothes EVER! But I’m not gonna lie, I saw Cassie in that dress over a week now, and IT and SHE looks SICK! She looks oh so fly and I am NO fan of her music. she’s a very pretty girl.
But I invest more in shoes and bags. I refuse to do overkill ($) when it comes to clothes. aaaaahhh, I love being a woman.

I don’t like “colored” leather clothing (e.g. your pimpin’ ass uncle with the green, red, blue, and in some cases pink leather suit).
Now I love to see a biker dude with some bad ass leather on. Now thats whats hot.
Give me a leather purse, jacket, boots, shoes or even a red leather couch would do, then we can talk.
However, that Christopher Kane skirt is cute. I wouldn’t wear it, but it is cute nonetheless. I would rock the corset w/o the straps. But all in all any leather that I rock would have to be “lambskin”. It is as smooth as butter.

The only time I like leather is when it’s a Dior Homme shrunken leather jacket. That leather dress is hid. Actually, the Christian Louboutin boots are pretty hot. Leather-clad ladies should hook themsleves up with this contest: http://www.funmobility.com/rufun.html

I like Cassie’s look. Leather boots are the only thing that I would wear. Leather pants, dresses, and skirts remind me of my granny’s sofa… (I know you remember the plastic covers that stick to you when you move
).

Alicia Keys is a very pretty girl, but in her photos it looks like she doesnt know how to smile right or she doesnt know what to do with her face. Maybe she just hasnt mastered being really girly yet.

Loving A.Keys and Cassies outfit. Who says leather still isn’t in style is just some new young puppies that need to understand how to dress now days.

#46 wish I could…it is gorgeous… I would advise you to search Neiman Marcus “leather dress” and shop bop “leather dress”… And, if you get nothing skim the runway shots at style.com or go to a fashion blog..won’t give any specific names, don’t want to undermind anyone…and ask the stylists/editors. Or maybe Tianna knows…email her.
As for the look…I don’t wear leather and wearing a pleather dress probably wouldn’t be hot lol I would do PVC or lame` if people hadn’t driven the textures into the ground with those leggings. I love Cassie’s style…she accessorizes beautifully but the best leather outfit goes to Mary-Kate Olsen…she wore a high-waisted leather skirt with a v-neck tee with front pocket, a wide leather corset belt with patent trim and these subtle yet bulky strappy sandals….if that gives any of you an idea of how to pull off the look.
