Leather has been an all-time favorite trend for the Fall and Winter, and this Summer it is back as the hottest new trend this season. Designers have made leather accessible to wear all year long. The traditional black, burgundy and brown colors of leather have transformed into hot bold colors, including: turquoise, yellow, green, and blue. Designers such as BCBG, Max Azria, Burberry and Oscar de la Renta have made flirty leather skirts, dresses, trousers, shorts and blouses to mix and match this summer. There are many different ways to wear this look for the Summer, as seen in runway shows and by celebrities.
