How to... Wear Leather

Wear just one article of leather clothing at a time. To avoid looking like Catwoman, wear contrasting fabrics with your leather leggings or pants. Wearing all black can be slimming and sophisticated, but try adding other colors to add personality.

.. Make other articles the same color. Lauren Conrads wears nude heels and blazer with her leather tights.

...Who says leather has to be BLACK??? V. Beckham pairs this feminine skirt with a white blouse.

..The biker Jacket... the ruffles and pink lips makes this look feminine with a dose of edge. Rihanna's signature.

Contrast the leather with another fabric. The key to wearing leather well is to slip it effortlessly into an outfit. You won't feel comfortable if you're trying too hard to look tough or urban. Instead, wear leather with a feminine outfit you already have, such as a linen sheath dress or your favorite dress pants and blouse.

Gwyneth Paltrow seems to master mixing fabrics, she pairs it with a blazer, a simple blouse, suede, panty hose, and with the second picture, silk.

Accessorize with leather. If you're still too afraid to wear a leather statement piece, wear leather boots with your jeans or skirt. Depending on the style, your look can be either modern or country.

Kim has leather belt, clutch and shoes, but the top of the dress isn't leather. This was a clever way of making the look seem unnoticably edgy.

Pair leather with GOLD you can't go wrong. Ciara on the red carpet looks stunning.

Wear leather shorts!!! Whitney Port with a purse, leopard shoes, and a simple necklace, and a relaxed shirt.

  Only wear leather pieces suited for your body type. Leather is clingy and form-fitting by nature, which sometimes makes it difficult for curvier women to wear it. Avoid leather leggings and pants if you have thicker legs and stay away from bustiers and tight leather dresses if you have a round stomach.

Rosario looks wonderful in this hugging dress. Why? Because she has the appropriate body for it. :)

Another fitting number for Rihanna, I love this edgy look on her, but she pairs it with a feminine bustier.

Eva Green..tiny waist and a big ass. Appropriate for this dress. :)
