Colored Leather Dresses: Edge and Glam

When we think of leather there’s a limited amount of options, especially as it relates to color.  There’s the traditional black leather boots, jackets, coats, and skirts.  But this Fall, we have a variety of options available because designers and retailers are showcasing…COLORED LEATHER DRESSES.

Colored leather dresses are popular because they are versatile enough for work and can also be worn to a rock concert.  The dresses are generally accessorized with heels and contrasted with an over sized clutch.  In my opinion, it’s the perfect marriage between edge and glam!
