Fall Winter Exclusive: Leather: Rated "R"

Living in sunny Singapore, many of us may not take very well to the idea of leather, unless its what our couch is made of. Leather fashion, however, has been a prime denominator in most runways. Almost every fall/winter, most designers put together several looks for fashion fanatics all over the world to savour. And inevitably so, leather fashion seems to be helming the fort as a main supplier of all that is needed during that season: Warmth and Style. Leather of course, can be dated to eons ago, when early purveyors began to treat leather in various different methods to achieve a certain desired texture, colour or feel.

This Fall/Winter, however, our leather fashion comes in highly stitched and trendy patterns. All the way from Jackets, Pants, Skirts and even dresses, leather rules all this season. Be it a small dash of accessory charm, or a complete guide for a head-to-toe leather ensemble, we have you covered. Here are our Wicked picks this season. 

The Outer: Jackets

Leather Jackets are the most popular in the pop-culture scene. Especially for those into motorbike races, leather jackets make somewhat of a fashion statement. Besides it's style and sense of rocker-chic aura, leather jackets serve a very real function of keeping the skin of avid bikers intact, in the event of a scrapping accident. The more battered, the better.
