subject: The Rebirth Of The Leather Dress [print this page] Leather is a constant staple in fashionLeather is a constant staple in fashion. From shoes to handbags and everything in between, leather seems to be one material that never goes out of style. Especially with the resurgence of the rocker look coming back in the fashion scene, leather is seen in many pieces of clothing, even leather dresses. The leather dress is an interesting puzzle in fashion that is seeing itself being a hot commodity among many fashion-forward young women. Even celebrities like Ashley Olsen and Rihanna have been seen once or twice around town wearing a fabulous leather dress. So why is this fashion blast from the past seeing the light of day once more? Well here are some reasons why.
1. The Popularity of the "Rocker Look".
As mentioned before, the rocker look is something that is being embraced once again. Whether you are a rocker or not, there has always seemed to be an influence of rock and roll in fashion for as long as I could remember. Hot lady rockers from the 80's like Pat Benatar and the iconic Blondie's front woman Debbie Harry, exemplified the sexy rock chick to a tee. I could just imagine them rocking a leather (or even a faux leather) dress up on the stage back in their hay-days. Those women were rock and roll, but that doesn't mean that you can't look like these rockin' ladies. Just slip on a hot leather dress with punkish accessories like a cute studded belt and spiked black heels and you will transform into a punk princess in no time.
2. Women just want to be sexy again.
Another reason that the leather dress is back is that women want to feel sexy again. Looking chic and sophisticated is good and all, but sometimes you want to sex it up a bit, especially on those nights when you're going out. And nothing quite says sexiness like a body forming leather dress. It is the perfect piece of club wear that any woman should have in their closets. You can wear the dress with a great pair of high heels and bold jewelry to really make your outfit pop.
3. There are just more options.
The fact of the matter is, the leather dress isn't what it use to be years ago. With more innovative designers pecking their noses at the leather dress, there seems to be even more options for us girls. From a skimpy tube dress to a simple sleeveless sheath dress, there are great designs to be had.
Also other than design aesthetics, there are also many animal-friendly faux leather options out there. Designers today know that there are many socially conscious fashionistas in the market and want to cater to their need. So if you are a fashion maven that wants to save the animals but still look fabulous, check out some of the fabulous faux leather dress options at your local mall.
The leather dress is a piece of fashion that is seeing better days. Women everywhere are looking to spice up their "going-out" wardrobe, and there is no better way to do this that wearing a fabulous leather dress. So try on a hot leather dress, you won't be sorry that you did.
