  • Leather Trend AW19

    Leather Trend AW19

    Brown and its sister tones seem to be this season’s key colour, but if you want to elevate it to the next level – go faux leather. What seems to be more exciting than getting a new trench coat? It’s faux leather trench coat, or a dress, particularly in brown tones. Today, we are layering some brown leather fashion for a glamorous autumn look and it has never been more easy. You should never be in doubt when choosing between brown or black leather as both colours are very versatile. Brown leather goes well with white, beige, red and yellow tones, or ever better – pair both black and brown together.

    Here is some major fall outfit inspiration directly from London Fashion Week.
