Wearing leather on a hot summer's day may not be the first thing that springs to mind but trust us, it's a winner. 

Real leather breathes, which is infinitely more enjoyable in the sunshine than a man-made polywhatever fabric. And if you choose leather which is lined you're not going to stick to it - double score.

Now that we've addressed that we can move onto the fun bit - it looks phenomenal. Keep the styling low-key, cotton is the perfect partner to black leather - the contrast between the fabric really works (see Agata Belcen working summer leather)

And while it may be a bit of an investment piece, you'll be thanking us come winter when your cost-per-wears will go right down. Summer leather - what are you waiting for?
