Go With the Faux!

The faux leather trend is set to prevail into Autumn/Winter - My advice? Invest NOW!

As a self-confessed leather lover, I’m a little uncertain about trading in my pelts for PU! There’s no doubt, however, that the quality of faux leather on the high street has massively improved in recent times, and clearly, it’s massively less expensive.

So, having seen this trend bubble up in S/S20 (rather surprisingly, as it’s a fabric more often worn in winter), I was intrigues to see it carry through, in similar tones of coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg, I thought I’d give it a spin and style some looks for you.

Be warned, most of these are sale pieces, at FANTASTIC prices and they’re selling fast! If you’re too late, scroll to the shopping section below for more fab faux finds!

Keep It Tonal

Adding a real leather belt adds a luxe element to this tone-on-tone look that could fool others into thinking you’re head to toe in skin!

Black is a colour the French believe you should only be seen wearing after dark… So why not vamp it up to the max with some faux leather shorts and this cute, on-trend, puffy top (also on sale) for a truly chic and sexy date night look. Ouh là là!

Now, I know what you’re thinking: surely faux leather is too hot for the beach! Well, perhaps, but sometimes beach days involve more than simply lounging on the sand. Slip these culottes over your bikini for that easy, beach-to-bar dressing that makes holidays fun and spontaneous. Cover up a bit more with a shell top for shopping or sightseeing.
