Leather has made an
immense come back! No longer is it just for bikers and bad boys. Leather vests, leggings, skirts, pants and jackets are
available in a variety of colors, cuts and styles in women's clothing. It may
seem dressy and stiff, but if styled correctly, it can be a very versatile
fabric. Waxed jeans are denim trousers
that’s coated with paint, beeswax, or a wax glaze that gives it a shiny finish.
The shimmer from the original designs was toned down to make the waxed jeans
suitable for casual occasions and can be used as an alternative to leather
pants because they share the same slick texture. The difference is that wax
jeans are more affordable and allow skin to breathe easier.

Nicki Minaj’s outfit reflects
urban, street wear. She pulled off this look with leather sweat pants, a black cami, and
small gold rope chains, leading the attention to her high-top zebra print wedge
sneakers. They are the zebra print Giuseppe Zanotti sneaker wedges.

A leather jacket with a pair of dark wash jeans (any cut it) or maybe
dark wash demin skirt, and a shirt or tunic is great casual attire. Colors such
as navy, grey, black, or some kind blue are subtle compatible colors, whereas
purple or red fall along the more daring side. Flat boots, ballet flats, or
even sneakers will complete your outfit. The choices are endless! Be
inventive.

Try to avoid the “Catwoman” appearance by wearing
contrasting fabrics with your leather leggings or pants. Avoid wearing similar fabrics,
such as suede or sheepskin. Instead, try pairing leather leggings or pants with
a flowing tunic or a T-shirt and cardigan.
