The best summer leather picks

The best summer leather picks

As the weather heats up we are all on the prowl for hot additions to our summer wardrobe, but whilst you’re hunting down the perfect bikini or comfiest sandals, don’t forget to add some leather into your life; it could turn out to be the perfect summer staple.

The trick with summer leather is to pick a vibrant colour; while winter is the time where black takes centre stage with bottle green and burgundy potentially getting a look-in, these warmer months open the door to an array of summery shades.

Check out below for the top leather style pieces:

Karen Millen jacket, £450

Available in a multitude of colours, including pastel pink and scarlet red, this leather jacket is perfect to slip over a summer dress in the evening or pair with denim shorts for a summer stroll.

Marks & Spencer dress, £249

Everything about this leather dress screams sophistication; the soft colour, flattering shape and round neck means it is the perfect choice for any occasion. Keep it simple and pair with a blazer for work or add some chunky jewellery and stilettos for a night with the girls.

River Island pencil skirt, £30

This candy pink pencil skirt from River Island is another style must-have. If you love the shape (and the price) but aren’t sure about the colour, be sure to check out the website where they have this design in over eight other shades, including peach, lilac, white and mint!

Topshop culottes, £36

These super stylish culottes, inspired by runway fashion, will be a key item this season. The versatile shape can be partnered with anything to create a bang-on-trend ensemble, not to mention the fresh white colour and airy design means you’re sure to keep cool as the weather heats up.

Glamorous skater skirt, £17

A fun and flirty way to wear leather in summer is with a skater skirt – universally flattering and always in style, Glamorous have hit the nail on the head with this icy blue creation for under £20!

La Redoute sandals, £24.50

If you’re not ready to rock a leather-style piece of clothing, why not add some luxury to your feet with these super cute sandals from La Redoute? The adorable parrot design will add some colour to your outfit, with the metallic straps adding a glamorous edge.
