It's a staple, granted, but sometimes you can get stuck in a leather rut. Black biker chucked over everything you owned, anyone?

Here are some new ways to play around with leather, inspo'd from Instagram - of course.

Leather bikers don't have to be black

We know, ground breaking. But it's true - a cherry red one is just as good, as blogger Ella proves with jeans.

Double up your leather

 

This doesn't have to mean a leather jacket and trousers, which might be a bit terrifying for most. Blogger Lainey tried a split skirt (hitting the big time this season) with a leather baseball cap.

Haul out your old leather shorts and add a belt

 

Circa the summer before last, anyone who was anyone had a pair of faux leather Zara shorts. Why not resurrect them and add a statement belt, like blogger Lucy?

Go full on sasspot

 

And you don't even have to add heels. Some pointed flats with a sheer tee make cropped leather trousers the sexiest option ever, even with a tailored blazer and a severe ballerina bun. Nice work by blogger Vanessa.

White out

 

White leather - not for the faint hearted. But the conceptual choice for any leather lover, like blogger Camille. Look for some with splits up the side, to alleivate the Tippex effect.
