    Loving leather this season? Here's our guide to getting Autumn's hottest trend right...

    Leather is back for AW15, and it's looking better than ever.

    This fierce finish has been a fabric heavyweight in the fashion industry for as long as we can remember. From 80's patent to modern moc-croc and soft-as-butter matte, leather is one wardrobe staple you can wear forever.

    Work a high-shine pencil with a cashmere sweater for a fashion forward twist on the trend or stay classic in a chic pair of black leggings.

    From top-end labels that hand-craft and laser-cut each piece by hand to high street hero buys that won't make a dent in your purse, leather is one texture that fails to look cheap.
