Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Is It Leather Weather?

partner

Sure, it was the slightest bit on the cool side last night, but was it nippy enough for a leather jumpsuit? Yes, according to Chloë Sevigny, who wore a tough-chic belted black leather jumpsuit to Proenza Schouler’s celebration of their A Magazine #9. In all fairness, it was a Spring look, shown last year on Proenza’s runway over a sleeveless white shirt. But in real life, the full-leather look worn in high summer gives us pause; thank God the humidity was low. (On a side note, it represents a bit of a silhouette shift for Sevigny, who, especially as of late, often covers up her arms in favor of showing her enviable gams.) Last week, for the Harry Potter premiere, Emma Watson also wore a Proenza Schouler leather look, this one a dress consisting of a black leather halter top and white silk skirt from the designers’ latest Resort collection. To us, Watson’s look is a lighter and more fitting way to rock a skin in the summer, though of course we respect Sevigny’s talent for breaking fashion rules. Tell us what you think. Would you wear black leather in July?

    For the people who have leather sofa or leather seat in their car, would you ever wear leather when 90 degree sun is hitting you? well the good thing about wearing leather during the summer, people can not see your sweat thru the leather clothes

    Really, really tough to pull off. I don't think I (or most people) could get away with anything other than a jacket, shoes or accessories. Emma Watson looks fantastic though.
