Leather sweatshirts trend fall-winter 2013

Leather sweatshirts trend fall-winter 2013

Leather and leather-panel sweatshirts in dark, autumnal colors appeared in menswear winter 2012/2013 collections at fashion labels including Givenchy, Juun J’ and Qasimi with styles ranging from vintage, aviator look in dark brown to modern sportswear or biker-style quilted black leather.

The leather sweatshirt is a perfect match for on-trend biker jeans, military-style pants or leather pants for a complete "fierce" look or it can be dressed up with elegant tailored trousers and chiffon/lace skirts. This sleek sweatshirt appeared in some of resort 2014 collections and its clean, chic design recommends it as a future wardrobe classic.

An even more luxurious and cozier alternative is the fur sweater (faux-fur at Antonio Berardi) that can be worn as outerwear this winter and teamed up with statement skirts be it a leather/patent one, or a short pleated one, for a nice play of textures. Thigh high boots complete the most glamorous take on 90’s fashion.
