The leather shirt is a fashion girl must-have for fall

Leather, be it in boot, dress, or jacket form, is the sartorial star of fall/winter 2022/23. Any casual perusal through TikTok, Instagram, or a street-style aggregate will confirm that the fabric is the one to keep on hand (and foot) this cold weather season. However, while the leather boot is a year-after-year staple, it’s the leather shirt that’s making waves in the fashion world.

Light enough to be worn as a layer but heavy enough to keep you warm, the leather shirt is a smart fall staple, and fashion girls are keeping note. From Emili Sindlev’s button-down + denim maxi skirt combo to Lucy Williams’ slip dress layering, scroll below to see how cool girls are styling the fall/winter trend.

Swap out your classic cotton or linen button-down blouse for a leather top à la influencer and art director Alexis Foreman. To truly replicate her look, a Bottega Veneta Jodie bag is in order.

Nordic it-girl Emili Sindlev paired her black leather button-down with a floor-length denim skirt and kitschy “Someone in New York Loves Me” tank top at the Khaite New York show.

As mentioned above, English fashion girl Lucy Williams wore her black leather button-down over a black slip dress and styled it with platform loafers and layered necklaces for a chic dinner look.

Norwegian it-girl Nina Sandbech’s brown leather overshirt tones down her rainbow-bright outfit. More than a little obsessed with her pink heels? We are too.
