Leather Tops Are This Season’s Latest Fashion Must-Have

6th November 2024 | By Ashling McCloy

For the ultimate cool girl look, make way for leather tops. Whether you go for tailored vests or oversized shirts, it’s all about that rock ‘n’ roll fabric…

Is there anything cooler than leather? Potentially yes, but not when it looks this good. The leather jacket has long been a staple in the wardrobes of everyone from bikers to fashion girls, but AW24 brings an assemblage of both leather and faux leather garments. There’s no denying the appeal of skirts and trousers in the buttery soft material, but it’s currently the turn of the leather top to steal the show. Spotted on the runways at Gabriela Hearst, Emilia Wickstead and Salvatore Ferragamo in beautiful rich colours, leather tops sealed their status as fashion gold.

Designers have reinvented leather; today it’s sophisticated and chic, while still holding its rebellious edge.

The co-ord is the chicest way to work the leather look, especially when you opt for warm autumnal shades. The leather shirt looks impeccable with trousers to match. Add a studded belt for extra detail, while also embracing another current trend. Arket and Cos are, without doubt, the shops to hit for modern cuts and high quality fabric. Although, I have my eye on the & Other Stories leather tee. For me, it’s the epitome of cool girl style.

Also worth noting, that while we say leather is trending, the faux leather options are not just more affordable, but look unbelievably real, too. So really, there’s something for all of us.
