If all of these leather items are covered in hardware, you may need to stick to only one or two of them. I think the trick is to have areas that break up the leather (like a scarf, shirt/bottoms being non-leather, tights, etc.). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425422 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 09:44:17 +0000 Domitilla 425422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say the only thing I wouldn't wear with a leather jacket are leather pants or skirts. As long as the pieces are clean and simple I have no problem in wearing a leather jacket with leather boots and a leather bag (or suede). I would only be very, very cautious with shiny, patent leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425205 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:24:31 +0000 ironkurtin 425205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think leather separated by non-leather is OK (as in, leather jacket, then skirt, then leather boots) or leather with suede (suede jacket, leather pants), but a whole outfit of nothing but hide can be a little bit overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425198 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:20:42 +0000 nicoleb 425198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done a leather jacket with leather boots or leather jacket + purse but that's as far as i've gone. </p> <p>I *almost* bought a faux leather pleated skirt today for work but i'm worred about frightening my coworkers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425190 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:15:05 +0000 annagybe 425190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot a leather, perhaps too much. I would totally wear a leather jacket with boots, even OTK. I would not wear leather pants/leggings with a leather jacket even if it was a different color. Don't own a leather skirt. Almost all my purses are leather so I don't even question that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425186 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:11:37 +0000 Angie 425186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good question, and one I should cover in a blog post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425091 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 20:36:23 +0000 Vicki 425091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great question and now that it's getting cooler, it's a REALLY timely question. I'd love to hear what others have to say, but whenever I wear my short black biker/cafe racer jacket, I do wear boots on occasion, either over my jeans or the short pointy ankle-height Guess ones.</p> <p>Scarves always look amazing at the neckline and as for a bag, I change my purses and bags fairly often and rather like the use of color for contrast, even if it is also leather. Hope some of this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425088 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 20:31:50 +0000 Jenava 425088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, just don't wear a leather skirt or pants...you don't want to look like a biker or like you're wearing a leather suit! Otherwise I don't think it much matters if you accessories/shoes are leather - they could even be the same color leather - as long as it works as an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-constitutes-too-much-leather#post-425058 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 19:33:22 +0000 qfbrenda 425058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to learn how to style my black leather jacket. Can I wear leather anywhere else at the same time? Leather boots, either black or cognac? Also a leather bag? </p>
