Vegan leather keeps a reputation as “difficult to wear” – so let’s face the realities here! Pleather is sustainable, cheaper than real leather, and easy to clean. What’s not to love? We’re going to show you some approachable ways to wear this material for Fall that will create masterful contrast in texture as well as making every outfit look just a little more expensive!

Wear All Black

Add a little shine to your all-black ensemble by mixing your textures!

Shine on the Top

Throw a pleather shirt jacket or trench over a tank/tee and jeans, or your coziest knit set!

The Monochrome

Create luxe textural brilliance by mixing a smooth pleather of the same hue into your outfit! Try pairing with sheer pieces, knits, fur, suede and any other piece that highlights contrast. The more variance in texture the better!!!

Shine on the Bottom

Replace jeans with pleather pants next time you want to spruce up your classic white blouse, tee + blazer or sweater look.

Embossed Pleather

Embossed pleather (especially in croc) looks great as the center of attention as a mini skirt or pants. Keep the look upscale with a mockneck or turtleneck paired with a blazer or trench.
