WTF Trend for Fall: Red Leather


Like to feel like you could work in the red light district? How about wearing something that no one can tell if it cheap or expensive? If you answered yes to these two questions than you either went to a university that rhymes with Slexas Slate or you are seriously misguided in terms of style. (Vivienne Westwood gloves, DSquared dress)

I love a good, wardrobe updating trend as much as the next girl, but come on people, red leather? That's a little too literal, don't you think? If you don't then you should. It just looks cheap to me. I will, make one exception: a red leather skinny belt. I make this exception because it is understated enough that it won't overpower your outfit or make you look like a hooker. But, regardless of this exception you still won't find me wearing one, so wear one at your own risk. (Versace boots)

Check out some of Fall's misguided attempts at establishing a new trend that sadly straddles the line between what's hot and what's not. The pants, the jacket, the S&M feel of it all! Just say no! (Versace pants, Givenchy boots)

Notice I haven't said no red leather purses: while I am not going to be carrying one I would say that this is the safest zone for the trend. Carry at your own risk - just don't match it with your belt...
