These Celeb Leather Outfits Will Give You Major Fall Fashion Inspiration

Sure, some may call fall and winter “sweater weather,” but there’s another sleek material taking over this chilly season and the best-dressed celebrities are making a case for it. Enter, leather weather. If you’re simply over the endless oversized knits and cardigans filling your closet (and your Instagram feed), then we’ve got you covered. We rounded up some of our favorite leather looks — seen on street style mavens like Jessica Alba and Olivia Palermo — to inspire your next head-turning outfit. And just because it’s leather, doesn’t mean it has to look and feel edgy or even uncomfortable! Some stars, like Palermo, are giving the trend a more laid-back touch by pairing structured, shiny skirts with buttery-soft pieces such as loose knits and chic, comfy loafers. Scroll on for the celebrity-worn leather outfits you’ll want to pin to your fall fashion mood board, ASAP.

Give your pencil skirt oomph by coordinating it with edgy fishnet tights and a sparkly sheer top, as seen on Jessica Alba. Complete the look with a soft, earth-toned purse (we’re eyeing Alba’s Tory Burch Large Lee Radziwill Suede Shoulder Bag!) for timeless autumnal vibes.

Thinking of new ways to wear that baggy cream knit in your closet? Take a style cue from Olivia Palermo, who wore her drawstring sweater with a shiny miniskirt. Loosely tuck it in like the Lady in the Lake star for an effortless yet polished finish.

Bring plenty of depth à la Solange Knowles to any all-leather ensemble by layering in a fur-trimmed purse and oversize aviator shades. These standout pieces instantly add extra dimension to the singer’s utility bomber jacket, slit skirt and low-ankle booties!

Sure, you can easily command attention with a monochromatic moment (look at Kate Moss’ daughter, Lila Moss), but take it one step further by mixing textures. We love how the model elevated her basic turtleneck by incorporating several croc-effect pieces!

You can never go wrong pairing classic neutrals: Scarlett Johansson proved that a chocolate brown blazer is an autumn essential — particularly when softened with a silk shirt and high-rise straight-leg trousers.
