Sweater & Leather Weather

on

The temp is dropping and our coat closet is finally making its debut little by little. If you’re anything like me, half of your wardrobe consists of leather coats and sweaters that you definitely don’t get to wear enough. I love a cozy knit sweater, but I also love any excuse to wear leather because of the luxe touch it gives to any and every outfit. Here are some styled EMC sweater and leather looks that I think you need this season!

I know I talk about her a lot, but it is clearly my favorite leather EMC piece to date so it feels wrong not to give it another shoutout. The Mia Moto in Python is such a versatile piece that can take literally any outfit from 0 to 100. It pairs well with just about anything, so here I have it styled two different ways just to show the versatility! In the first picture I paired the moto with a graphic tee, midi skirt, tall olive green boots, and my statement jewelry. I was going for a boho-chic look here, and I have to say it's definitely one of my favorite work OOTDs yet! In the second picture I’ve paired the moto with a turtleneck, some wide leg jeans, black cowgirl boots, and of course, some gold statement jewelry. I just love the way this jacket can take such a basic look and turn it into a fashion statement!

For the next look, I went with the Poppy Pullover Sweater in Metallic Green paired with a black ponte pant to dress things up a bit. I think this sweater is so great for the holiday season and has the perfect amount of subtle shimmer. I paired gold accessories with this look to accentuate the gold zipper detailing, a cream colored heeled boot, and a fun clutch. I love how the collar on this pullover sits on the shoulder, or for colder times, can be zipped up as a turtleneck! This look could also pair well with sneakers and a jogger for a more laid back situation.

For all of the many Poppy Top lovers out there, try layering yours with a turtleneck for the colder temperatures this season! The Poppy Top in the luggage vegan leather is such a great versatile staple piece to add to your wardrobe. I paired it over a black turtleneck with the matching luggage jogger and it creates the perfect matching set. I always recommend investing in a nice & neutral matching set because it can be worn over and over, and paired with other pieces in your closet as well. I thought this outfit portrayed a nice southern-chic look that I just adore! I added black boots to pull in the turtleneck, a chunky necklace layering over the popped collar, and a clutch!

Next on the sweater weather lookbook is the Lolli Sweater in Fall Colorblock. I'm loving this color combo incorporating all the trending colors this season. I love any excuse to wear royal blue and red, so this sweater was an easy choice for me. My favorite detail on the Lolli Sweaters are the striped trim on the cuff, collar, and neckline pulling together all the colors and adding the perfect touch of character. I love this sweater paired with the Fall Flora headband, because it incorporates the same color pantones in a sweet floral print! I paired the sweater with a wax coated brown jean, cream booties, and gold jewelry.

Ending on a fancy leather favorite, the Chloe dress in Java is such a beautiful and elegant dress with pleated detailing that is to die for! Presenting such a flattering look on everyone, I have yet to see a single customer try this one on and not love it!!! I always recommend this one for anyone looking for a nice wedding guest dress or going out for any nice occasion. However, I wanted to show everyone a more laid back way to style this dress for times that pumps and jewels are not so much required. I paired the Chloe with some tall cowgirl boots, a swells scarf, and matching clutch. I think this is such a cute look for a concert, a nice brunch date, or any more casual occasions you may have on the agenda!
