Styling an Autograph Leather Panelled Dress

Trying a leather dress - a fashion & style challenge for me.

I had always wanted to try wearing a leather dress because they are seen as been a stylish and bold fashion choice, offering a unique blend of durability and luxury

Leather is one of the oldest material used by humans, it is a versatile and durable material made from the hides and skins of animals.

Widely used in a  range of products today such as clothing, footwear, handbags, furniture, and sports equipment.

It's said that leather dresses are versatile and can be worn for various occasions, from casual outings to formal events. 

They add an edgy and sophisticated touch to any outfit.

Persaonlly I did not want to try a black leather what is the most common colour available today and often used or associated  fashion subcultures, I wanted to try styling a different shade and create a different look.

 

This is my leather Panelled Dress by Autograph .

I found this Leather Panelled Dress sold in Marks & Spencer's under the Autograph brand for £350 , however I bought mine in a sale for £40.00 what a barging!

The question is- How do I style this dress?

Whilst  this look is an "Ok" it's just nothing special , you could even say it was even  a little boring, there is no "Zing" to it which a dress like this should have and deserves .

"I am simply too washed out"

The soulution is to add a pop of colour to it- so please watch this space...........

Ideas which have been suggested are;

• "Dark blouse or Turtleneck with tights and bootsOr white blouse"

• "A turquoise t shirt underneath would be nice and pick up the colour of the beads"

• "I would wear a red or pink cross body bag and also red or pink shoes. I think you look great in it. Just needs that splash of colour. 

• "I am feeling a very 60s mod vibe. Turtleneck and Kneehigh boots or tights. A belt might work too"I am feeling a very 60s mod vibe. Turtleneck and Kneehigh boots or tights. A belt might work too"
