To dress with latex, vinyl and leather are the three fabrics that come to revolutionize our closet. Experts share their ideas on how to successfully combine them
The Kardashian sisters have been the forerunners of latex fashion, to such an extent that together with leather and vinyl it has become the texture that everyone wants to wear, especially fashionistas and influencers.
Laura Petrielli-Pulice, founder of the latex brand Vex Clothing, applauds that this fabric has lost its fetish reputation
The talented singer Rosalía stood out as one of the most elegant at the Grammys with her red leather dress and fringes. This was designed by Alexander Wang.
The leather must be kept hydrated so that it does not break, for that you can use hand cream. Leather garments should be protected from the sun and dust. Store in boxes, linings or covers.
Kardashians are avowed fans of latex suits.
Experts suggest having a basic garment, such as pants, skirts, jackets or jackets, to combine them with other textures, and thus achieve a good balance. Although the “total look” is also allowed, both in latex and incomplete vinyl and leather suits.
It is good to start with dressing in layers or “layering”. “For example, try a cute layered latex bra with a pair of jeans and booties,” Wilford Lenov, a fashion stylist, told nylon.com.
“For men, I suggest a T-shirt or tie, pieces that are easy to mix with items already in your closet,” adds Petrielli-Pulice.

The drums of a new trend have been ringing for some time. Leather began to subtly sneak in on a few shows to enter the front door in the spring-summer collections. This season, the leather will replace timeless garments such as the raincoat, it will become the wild card of the halftime looks and will ring the bell taking unexpected shapes. A trend that, as we are warning you, is taking hold for the coming winter as we have been able to verify that there has been practically no brand that has not included it in its latest shows.
For all this, it is time to take good notes and learn to wear leather. A material that has shown that it is far beyond the mythical biker or rock star aesthetic. Now you can take the leather to the style you want, from the most urban and sophisticated, to the most dandy, going through the minimalist.
If you are still reluctant to cheer yourself up with leather, it is because you have not seen everything it has to offer. But that is about to change. Here we leave you a practical guide so that dressing in leather garments (in all its versions) during this season is sewing and singing. Next winter you will be a professional. Guaranteed.
With suit pants

Say goodbye to your more conventional blazer and replace it with a leather jacket. It will give your office look a totally different air. You have two options, or take it in the traditional way, that is, in the form of a blazer and with a shirt and tie; or directly opt for a suit and jacket look. In the first case, bet on wide pants, gangster style and you will freak out with the results.

In the second, bet on a short and slightly fitted jacket, it is Dior’s proposal for the coming winter that we can apply right now.
In pastel colors
One of the most surprising things about this renewed trend of clothing in leathers is the infinite palette of colors in which we can find this material. Forget the classic black suck with few options. For spring, there is nothing like deciding on leather jackets in light and surprising colors such as pastel pink, turquoise blue or aquamarine. The perfect companion for jeans or chinos.
Replacing the fine feathers
If you do not finish finding this leather use it in its most practical version. If you’ve already discovered the benefits of a fine down coat for an extra dose of warmth, swap it out for a leather jacket now. It fulfills the same function of isolating but it will give a totally different touch to your look.
Completely in leather
It is the option of the most advanced. If you have already gone through all the stages, you have dared to wear the leather jacket with suit pants, the leather pants taken out of their badass context and even the long fur coat without looking like it came out of the Matrix, you are ready to wear the complete look. To keep the class at the top, it is essential to choose a traditional suit, slightly fitted and preferably in a neutral color such as brown. Combine it with unusual colors and some light and success is assured.
In a minimalist key

Of all leather garments, pants may be the most difficult to wear. It is because of all the stereotypes that have been typecasting these pants as a symbol of rebellion or the most outdated biker style. However, as we already told you, everything has changed in the territory of leather and now you can wear one in its most avant-garde version. The key is to wear them in a classic white shirt and matching sneakers. Easy, right?
Shirt-shaped

Beyond the typical aviator style leather jacket or pants, we find new forms of leather. One of them is the shirt that is dressed with this material to transform into something completely new. It is perfect to wear as a brie larson in leather, in its oversized version, or as the typical shirt in its tightest version. You will find them in all formats to carry it as you want.
