Best Leather Jackets and Tops For Fall 2012
13 Reasons Why We Think a Little Leather Goes a Long Way
The leather jacket will always be a cool weather staple, but this Fall, we're practicing the "less is more" approach. Small pops of leather — whether on tees, dresses, and skirts — not only adds textural intrigue, but also injects just the right amount of edge to your look without going overboard. We scoured the market for the must-have leather pieces to add your cozy Fall wardrobe, with everything from leather trims and embellishments to smartly placed insets — what are you waiting for?
