We’ve fallen in love with the latest faux leather fashion trend edit from Anthropologie that we just had to share. Keep reading to discover eight must-have pieces we know you’ll be reaching for all season and year round.
Why Choose Faux Leather?
As the fashion industry moves more and more towards conscious consumerism and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, we are also experiencing a sharp shift away from animal-based products to their man-made counterparts. Faux leather has the beautiful look and feel of real leather, without the harm to animals – it’s a yes from us! Like real leather, faux leather is also very durable and withstands scratches, making it the perfect ethical alternative to invest in and to wear for many years to come.
Autumn Trends
Without a doubt, one of the biggest trends in Autumn is layering. While it may seem simple, it’s important to do it well. Faux leather has the benefit of being both warm and water-resistant, whilst also being lightweight enough to wear all day. When it comes to Autumn, the weather isn’t always as chilly as winter, therefore we can play with layering pieces like skirts, tops, and blouses. Faux leather can be worn all year, however, looks extra stylish in the cooler months due to the warm brown tones and black of course!
