A little over a year ago, my boyfriend bought me a Vince leather jacket. It was a slippery slope as that was when I truly realized the difference between good leather and so-so leather. I’ll never buy cheap leather again. It’s either save up, find on sale, or buy fake. Great leather is something worth saving up for, and hanging onto for the rest of your life. In planning out my own Fall wardrobe, I’ve been lucky to find a lot of leather, on sale. I snapped up these leather shorts at over half off, and this dress at over 70% off. Mission complete. Here is a slew of covet-worthy leather investment pieces. Fear not, a few of them are on sale, and I threw in a couple faux pieces as well, for good measure.
Leather Sleeved Tee by 3.1 Phillip Lim // (faux) Long Sleeve Dress by Karl // Tan Dress by Theory
Leather Shorts by Haute Hippie // Leather Gloves by Bottega Veneta
Dress by Theyskens’ Theory // Metallic Tee by Maje // (faux) Leather Skirt by Karl // Leggings by Helmut Lang
Love them all – I am equally as obsessed with leather for fall and am determined to find the perfect leather jacket this year!

Yay! Keep me posted on your finds… I’m sure you will snap up something fabulous!
Your leather finds were an amazing deal, I need to start making the sale rounds!
Yes, you do! So much good stuff going on at ShopBop right now!!
Wow, you can see how gorgeous these are. I would love a classic leather dress and am looking right now for a faux pair of pants. I haven’t really worn them before so if I see I can’t live without them then I know it’s time to invest! Obsessed with your dress find… score! (and your bf gets you the best gifts!).
Def time to invest! Can’t wait to see what you get!!
I’m obsessed with leather, but the price tags always turn me away. I love these pieces! xx

I know… it’s an investment, that’s for sure! 🙂
I’m lusting after a few of these myself!
Hope you snap up something great this Fall! 🙂 x
I need a leather skirt.
Yes you do!!
ahhhh i dream of a vince jacket. haven’t been able to bite the bullet and do it, yet. but thanks for the encouragement!
Do it! (Or get one vintage / on sale!!)
Literally want every.single.piece. Especially that cute baseball tee!
I know, it’s soooo good!!!
I’m so in love with leather as well. I’ve picked up two leather skirts for fall – pencil and pleated – from Asos. My latest obsessions are with a leather blazer and/or a coat with leather sleeves. Those will be on the wish list for quite awhile, unfortunately. I have on one of my faux leather jackets from H&M today, and you are right, it’s just not the same. 🙂
Oh nice work!! I need to check ASOS… I really want a pleated skirt.
I’m so in love with the leather these days I’m not sure that i can pull if off, or find anything flattering, this motivates me to keep looking though. that gold leather shirt is everything!
You can definitely find something flattering! A classic shift or pair of leggings (to wear with a long-ish shirt) are a great start. (And I know…dying for that gold tee!)
Love your post. I am so into high quality leather items.

thanks, Nina! 🙂
I have always loved leather and pairing it with flirty things! I love your picks too….that Maje shirt is to die for, and I’m loving the updated baseball tee and leggings! thank goodness fall is around the corner so I can wear my lovely leather finds all the timeee 🙂
I know, I can’t wait!!!
Great list of leather pieces to get and I’m especially loving that Theory dress!
thank you! I’m actually wearing it today… so obsessed, haha!
I need to be adventurous and give leather a try! I never think I look good in it!
I bet you would look great. An easy way to start is with a pair of leggings and a long tee or slouchy sweater.
I’m completely and utterly obsessed with leather right now too!
Me. Too. 🙂
my sister works for helmut lang and after being spoiled with helmut leather i wont ever go back! ps great choices, she is OBSESSED with her helmut leather leggings!

I am all about leather for fall and I LOVE your picks! The dresses are amazing and so is that metallic top!

So jealous! A Vince leather jacket is on my wish list. They’re gorgeous. I just bought an amazing leather shift from Banana for Fall. Love it!
I saw that dress at Banana… it is stunning!
LoVe love the leather pants! Fabulous! Thanks for sharing!

Agree… it’s such a playful take on a more edgy piece.
