I've been a slave to leather leggings for probably the last 5 years! Brilliant alternative to skinny jeans for a night out, with heels or smart/casual with pumps for daytime. I think leather works best teamed with a softer fabric, linen T, cashmere sweater or cool cotton shirt. As far as trousers/leggings go I'm a pleather gal. There's a massive difference in price obviously but my main reason for advocating pleather on the legs is finding that genuine leather trousers sag at the knees and derrière after a few wears and therefore requires specialist dry cleaning to perk them up which is really pricey and not always successful (having had a dry cleaning disaster with my one and only pair of leather trousers...) Pleather wins hands down, they can be popped in the wash and spring back to life beautifully fresh for their next outing!

Leather jackets on the other hand I feel need to be the real deal! You don't get the snug fit and natural vintage crinkle with pleather as it tends to be more shiny, flat and stiff. Depends on the style of jacket you want but if like me your favourite is biker then invest in the genuine stuff, it'll last you a lifetime (that's what I tell the husband anyway...!) 💜
