Leather's Comeback: Bold, Edgy, and Luxe

Leather is back—and bolder than ever with this NYFW street style. This season, street style stars redefined leather, pairing it in new and exciting ways that push the boundaries. From little statements like leather bags to trendsetting dresses, leather styles have gone far beyond the moto jacket. After all, as fall’s biggest trend, it wasn’t surprising to see everyone in the classic textile.

Designers like Alaïa and Area embraced the trend, crafting dresses that are both edgy and modern. The beauty of leather pieces lies in their ability to transition seamlessly from day to night. Let’s admit it, they always manage to give that effortlessly cool vibe no matter the occasion. A favorite of mine is the Archetypes belted midi, one of Alaïa’s hottest releases. Not only is it a statement on its own, but it also pairs stunningly with these Saint Laurent pumps and Lana Marks top handle.  One of my favorite ways to style leather is by mixing fabrics—as seen  in the NYFW street style.

However, Norma Kamali also mangled to surprise me with her strapless Grace mini dress. Known for jersey knits and lamé textiles, the designer sure does know how to make leather look sexy too. Whether you’re opting for minimalist black leather or experimenting with fall colors like brown, the textile is undoubtedly making its strongest comeback yet. Thanks to the hottest NYFW street style looks, it certainly is here to stay.
