Every season there are new ridiculous trends emerging on the fashion scene. Some are unnecessary (chokers?), some kinda ugly (my beloved culottes) and some are just plain dumb (micro mini bags). But if you’ve been reading my blog for some time you know those trends are my favourite ones. The ones that have people talking, the unconventional ones, the ones you would never think of.

This particular trend could literally kill you. Exciting, right?! This summer one of the prominent trends is wearing winter fabrics like leather and suede. Now you could wear a full suede jumpsuit on a hot day and work your stylish look as you’re working up a heat stroke, but we all agree that is batshit crazy and you could die.

So how do you wear suede in summer without sacrificing your life and also your makeup (cuz it will melt off)? Well, here’s an idea. Take a suede miniskirt. Pair it with airy pieces. Voila! Bonus points for baring your shoulders. +fashion factor -tan lines

So how’s that for overcomplicating a simple ootd post today? Now SHOP DAT ISH BELOW.

How do you style suede this summer?
