Leather Season: Bold Layers & Feminine Contrast
X16 september 2026
As the seasons change, leather takes center stage. This collection of looks explores the versatility of leather through oversized jackets, polished blousons, relaxed tailoring and statement outerwear. Rather than feeling heavy or overly edgy, leather is softened with silk, lace, satin and flowing silhouettes, creating a balance between strength and femininity.
Leather & Soft Neutrals
An oversized brown leather jacket paired with wide-leg neutral trousers creates a relaxed yet polished silhouette. The polka-dot scarf worn as a belt adds a playful vintage-inspired detail, while pointed-toe shoes give the outfit a sophisticated finish.

- Coffee dates
- City walks
- Shopping
- Casual office days
- Weekend lunches
- Travelling
It is an easy daytime look that feels put together without being overly formal.
The second outfit pairs a belted brown leather jacket with a flowing satin slip skirt. The contrast between structured leather and fluid satin creates a feminine, elegant silhouette, while oversized sunglasses and minimal heeled sandals add a refined finish.
Perfect for:

The look can easily be dressed up with jewelry or a statement bag, making it particularly suited to occasions where you want something feminine but not overly formal.

This is probably the most versatile interpretation of leather in the collection comfortable enough for a full day while still looking polished.
Earthy Statement
A glossy olive-green oversized jacket with a matching midi skirt creates a bold monochromatic silhouette. The fitted turtleneck balances the volume, while pointed pumps in a soft yellow shade add a subtle pop of color.

- Fashion events
- City dinners
- Autumn parties

The monochromatic styling makes the outfit feel intentional, while the contrasting shoes keep it from becoming too uniform.

Perfect for:
- Autumn festivals
- Weekend getaways
- Dinner dates

- Casual evening events
- City walks
This outfit has a slightly more relaxed, bohemian character and works beautifully for occasions where you want something distinctive without being overly formal.
The New Leather Mood
Across all four looks, leather becomes much more than an edgy statement piece. It becomes a versatile wardrobe layer that can adapt to completely different occasions.
For daytime, pair it with wide-leg trousers, denim or simple knitwear. For a more feminine look, combine it with silk, satin or lace. And for evening, let an oversized leather jacket contrast with a flowing dress or skirt.
The most interesting part of the trend is the contrast between hard and soft, oversized and fitted, masculine and feminine.
Whether you're heading to the office, meeting friends for brunch, going on a date or dressing for an evening event, there is a place for leather in almost every part of your autumn wardrobe.
One jacket, endless possibilities.
