What do you think of leather dresses?

Nay

a big fat gigantic NAY for me. I have never seen this look pulled off IRL.

I actually have a few, but my favorite is one that is a black and white chevron dress that has spaghetti straps. I have a red bustier dress and a black tank dress. I got these while working for a former "couture" leather store called North Beach Leather in San Francisco. We mainly sold pants and skirts tho. I do like the dresses posted tho I dont like the one with the bow in the back...

I just bought Helmut Lang from new collection (look 26 - sorry do not know how to insert just ine picture)http://www.helmutlang.com/women-ss-collection-09.html and it is great - very soft "laser cut" leather with jersey inserts - you would not even know it is leather until you touch it. Assymetric hem. Looks very edgy, but not "fashion victimy"!

I love the Alice+Olivia leather dress! It's awesome! I think I'd wear it anytime with my matte sequin blazer or my wool blazer over anytime! With a pair of nice Louboutin peep toes or patent wedges!

I think they look perfect on some people, but I'd never buy one myself. I loved how Caroline Sieber added the button down shirt to her ensemble last year at Paris FW!

I love leather pants and skirts, but nay on the leather dresses. It's just way too much leather going on.

i love the marc. i think they can be very chic with tights for winter!

 

[Pinkcaviar]

Nay for me because I can't pull it off!

But I think they can look great on some people with the right accessories!

I don't like leather pants, skirts, etc. I prefer leather in coats and purses.

I think they have to be worn with the right accessories, an overall grunge look is a good option but you must keep the dress chic and sharp! I think it's hard to find a decent leather dress, particularly when they are usually so body-con. It doesnt suit everyone, but when worn right, its amazing!

i really like the last look you posted, but i'm not sure i could pull it off (or where i would wear it...)

I think they're hot and I would totally rock one, especially with a shorter hem and more revealing neckline. However, given their trendiness combined with their price...I probably won't be buying one.

I think Kristen Stewart really pulled it off, too. Except it would've been better if it was strapless [you can't see the straps in the photo anyway]. The origami detailing is lush.
