As hard as it is to let summer go, there's something about fall's fresh trends and luxe textures that always has us eager to transition seasons. Along with coats and boots, vegan leather is a fall and winter staple but it recently has become a year-round trend. Whether it's sharply tailored, neutral-toned, or intricately detailed, the vegan leather trend is making a big statement and we're here for it.
Style expert Erica Wark has put together three looks that will give you the inspo-vibes you need to prep your wardrobe with the luxurious touch you've been looking for.
Vegan leather shacket
The shacket is one of the biggest topper trends of the season—it can be worn so many different ways and for any occasion. The vegan leather adds a buttery texture that instantly elevates any look.
Erica kicked this shacket up a notch, dressing it up with a knit sweater dress in a corresponding shade of oatmeal and pairing it with playful snakeskin vegan leather boots and a quilted chain shoulder bag. The look is completed with a statement chain necklace—perfect for a night out!

Vegan leather skirt
Pencil skirts are a wardrobe staple so why not opt for an upgraded version this fall? Vegan leather naturally adds a more luxe finish to your look. Classic black looks great, but why not opt for a rich, bolder colour like burgundy to add a little something unexpected.
Take a cue from your skirt and let it guide the rest of your look! Elevate this skirt by pairing it with other burgundy staples with this oversized cable knit turtleneck and accessorize it with other vegan leather goodies like a textured fold-over bag and a sleek boot.

Vegan leather shirt dress
A vegan shirt dress is another great staple to add to your wardrobe. It's incredibly versatile and can easily be mixed and matched with other go-to's in your closet! You can wear it on its own, or even layer it up.
Let your faux leather dress shine while still adding your own personal touch by keeping the items you pair with it cohesive. Opt for a lightweight taupe sleeveless turtleneck to layer underneath to keep things cozy, and add luxe textures like suede through your accessories to ensure your dress is the focal piece of the look. Add some gold jewels to tie in the gold from the buttons of the dress, and voila!
