That black biker jacket doesn't have to be the only thing in your wardrobe made of leather, says Amy Parsons-King.
We've been seeing black leather biker jackets slung nonchalantly over off-duty models' shoulders for the past few autumn/winter seasons and it looks like this effortlessly cool trend will continue.
However, in 2017 leather goes beyond the black biker with the luxe fabric also being transformed into dresses, skirts, pants as well as being used as inserts in a kaleidoscope of colours.
Hide can be pricey, so if your budget doesn't allow for a $2000 coat, pleather can make for a good cheap alternative and sometimes you can barely tell the difference.
