"Whether you&amp;#x27;re a leather fan or a pleather die-hard, you&amp;#x27;ve got to admit that the look has come a loooooong way. What was once reserved for scary-looking dudes with handlebar mustaches on choppers or dominatrix ladies bearing a whip and platforms is now looking much classier these days. For fall leather is looking especially chic and I for one, am psyched! Don&amp;amp;#8217;t sweat just yet: I know its still a little warm to start thinking about leather, but fall is rapidly approaching (eek!), so it&amp;#x27;s time to start taking a look at some of the must-haves for the upcoming season. Let&amp;#x27;s start with the pleated leather mini look. Take it from Shenae Grimes who totally redeemed herself from that strange caftan look she was wearing by stepping out in this hip little Madonna-esque outfit at the 21st Annual Much Music Video Awards. She looks super chic and edgy, and definitely shows how you can glam up leather. Two thumbs up, I say. More Just Female... Now if going full hog on the leather trend isn&amp;#x27;t your style, you could always try simple leather moto jacket--just slip it on over cocktail dress or floral frock to look like the girl who always orders a scotch on the rocks (even if your drink is a white wine spritzer). Or, instead of doing the intense, all-black thing, go for a light gray or brown instead of the usual black. If you&amp;amp;#8217;ve already got one in your closet (you lucky duck!), take it out, dust it off, and get ready for fall! Meanwhile, if you&amp;#x27;re like me and on the hunt for an affordable version, here are some options I tracked down: More GUESS... What do you think ladies? Ready to take the plunge and bust out some serious leather? How would you style your leather for fall, and would you even dare to wear it to a dressy event? Discuss!
