From exquisitely tailored gowns to barely there leather bralettes, this is a one-stop shop for the crème de la crème of visual inspiration for almost anyone.

Model Angelica Boss proves she’s on top and ready to roll with a head-to-toe leather outfit for Marie Claire UK. With loose locks and a wrap around scarf, standout pieces include a pair of lace up leather pants from Joseph and studded leather gloves from Hermes.

Model Ivana Stompfova for Elle Turkey slays in an all black leather look, complete with a motorcycle jacket layered over a sweet lace bralette. Stompfova contrasts a fitted leather chest harness with a high-waisted, flared mini skirt to keep things flirty. It-girl Cara Delevingne rocks a puffy motorcycle jacket for Burberry Brit, solidifying her seal of street style approval on this leather trend.

It can be easy to lose your shape with oversized tops, so find a balance with a belt at the waist. Hana Soukupova by Robbie Fimmano wears it best, rocking a long line leather jacket with thigh high boots from DSquared2. Choosing pieces with subtle detailing, like braiding on a harness or wavy embroidery on a skirt, creates intrigue.

Other simple ways to add definition include a waist-cinching belt, like Mina Cvetkovic in a fitted leather dress from Moschino. So springy: opt for a leather pencil skirt with a simple row of buttons down the center. Slip into an enviable criss-cross halter top for a look that’s on point for warm temps.

Photographer Nathaniel Goldberg captured fresh-faced Julian Schurig for Vogue China in an all over red leather look. Featuring a top with unique detailing, including strips of perforated textures, and a pair of knock-out thigh high boots, these scorching outfits are definitely only for the brave. Get inspired by throwing on a crisp burnt orange blazer or add a pop of color with a red bralette for this season.

Add some shimmer and shine with gold or silver metallics. Agnes Nabuurs for Glamour France rocks a chic Blumarine leather trenchcoat in chrome. Maje leather pants, with ribbed quilting at the knee, look tough and on trend, and cut-out leather gloves complete this rebellious look. All over leather pants can be tricky for hot weather, so expand your options with leather paneling and zippers at the ankle.

Break the all the rules and sport a pair of leather shorts in the summer! Tuck in a button up blouse and add a belted fedora for a cool, retro-inspired look. Check out the tumblr for “Designer Leather” for a myriad of leather inspiration, ready to re-blog and perfect for your next Pinterest binge.
