As spring arrives, it also means something major is coming up—prom season! This is a great time for high school students to make memories, spend quality times with a date and friends and so much more. Each prom season comes new fashion trends. Check out some of these fashion tips for both young men and women, followed by ways you can incorporate a Denver leather jacket to make you stand out in the crowd!

Guys

As young men are making their arrangements for their prom attire, one of the first things to do is to coordinate with their date on attire. It is great to have a matching color scheme between the two. Corsages and boutonnieres can be coordinated in this as well. For a classic look, a black or dark grey tuxedo with a bow or neck tie is a look you can’t go wrong with. If going for a light and outdoorsy feel, or if trying to match a light color on your date, light grey is also popular. For many, they like to incorporate colors into their tux. Some styles are available in bright colors that can be complemented with a top hat or even cane! (Just make sure you are okay to carry this around for the evening…) Many styles of tux have certain embellishments, such as different colors in the lapel. Also, another element to consider is the type of tux you are renting. You can find normal fit or a slim fit.

Gals

When it comes to finding the perfect dress for prom, there are so many different styles and colors to choose from. As you think about what you want to wear, ask yourself a few questions. Are you looking for a cocktail dress that you could possibly wear again? If choosing to go with a floor length gown, would you like to go big and bold, or classic and chic? Next, ask yourself about the top of the dress. You can find elegant dresses with sleeves or that are sleeveless. One of the latest trends for 2017 is a crop top dress. It isn’t too revealing and adds something different that hasn’t been seen before. Also, the floral clothing trend is making its way into the prom season scene. Some dresses have a flowery top and long bottom made of tulle, while others have flowers incorporated throughout the dress from top to bottom.

Incorporating Leather

While you want to keep an elegant look during your event, after-prom is a time to kick off your shoes and relax. If attending post-prom festivities, slightly transform the look of your outfit with a leather jacket. You can keep your simple and sleek look by pairing it with a black or white jacket. It will be just the accessory to make you stand out in the crowd! Not interested in a jacket but want to add in leather? Try accessories!

The process to look for a new job is a long one. It takes much time to research and search, update and revise your resume, write cover letters and so much more. Once you finally nail the interview, it is important to make a good first impression. You do not want all your preparation and hard work to go to waste. Learn what types of clothes men and women should wear to help ace the interview, as well as accessories and other tips from your leather store in Denver.

Men’s Attire

During your job search, it is important to take the time to make sure you have at least one nice suit that you can wear to the interview. If you don’t have one, don’t wait until the last minute to buy one. You will want to make sure that it fits properly and you may need some custom work to make it tailored to you. When it comes to color, you will want to keep a neutral tone. The most popular colors are black, dark gray and navy blue. While you want to stand out, you don’t want your suit to make too large of a statement depending on the industry you work in. Keep it professional and pair it with a nice pair of leather dress shoes.

Women’s Attire

For most jobs, whether you prefer pants or a skirt, in most cases you will want to go with a suit jacket. It might be tempting to just wear a nice blouse, but if you want to show them how committed you are, go with a suit jacket that matches the pants or skirt you wear. Black is a great color, but you can find a variety of neutral colors that aren’t flashy. You want to grab their attention but not be over the top. If choosing to wear a skirt, many outlets advise wearing stockings. Jewelry is perfectly fine to wear, but again, don’t be over-the-top. Also, if you have chipping nail polish, touch them up or repaint them before your interview.

Accessories and Other Tips

When going into your job interview, you should have already done your homework about the company and be well prepared. This includes having extra copies of your resume, a notepad for note taking (and reading your own notes for any questions you have), and maybe even a bottle of water to keep on-hand. It is best to house these items in a professional manner—one of the best being a leather briefcase. Ladies, if you have a large, professional tote, this will work as well. Leather is always a great fabric to showcase an upscale look. In addition, a leather padfolio is the perfect tool to have on hand for notes.

Overall when it comes to preparing for an interview, if you second guess anything, you most likely shouldn’t go that route. Be sure to check out these 10 Interview Fashion Blunders to avoid. If you’re looking for a great accessory to an interview, or need a briefcase cleaned, Jonval Leathers and Furs can help! And while you won’t want to wear a leather jacket to an interview, it is the perfect gift to treat yourself with once you get the job.

Have you ever considered changing up your style? Stepping out of your comfort zone when it comes to the clothing you wear can be intimidating. In many cases, you do not even know where to begin. You can take the clothing change as slowly as you need to, but you can change up the items in your closet and be happy! From keeping your style transition authentic and tips through the clothing transition, to ways to incorporate leather, try some of these tips from your leather store in Denver.

Keeping it Authentic

When making the decision to change up your personal style, you will want to be authentic. You want to be able to find clothing you are willing to wear daily. This consistency will make it easier on you to feel comfortable and confident in what you are wearing, which will illuminate from you to those around you. You must fully commit to the new clothing decisions you make and avoid keeping some of your old style mixed with the new, especially if they are opposites. One of the first things you can do to decide on what style you’d like is to find inspiration. You can talk to a local clothing store or browse the web. As you work through this process, try InStyle’s 5 Easy Steps to Flawless Style.

Tips Through Transitioning Your Wardrobe

When you are completely making over your wardrobe, you may feel like running back to your comfort zone with your own clothing. Therefore, it is important to find clothing that you truly feel you can wear daily. During this process, you can take things slow and slowly begin incorporating news things into your rotation. This way, it might not be as shocking to yourself and others. Try wearing certain items on your days off where you might not be around the same groups of people. Then slowly on a weekly basis, incorporate elements of your new clothing style into your daily wear. Eventually, you will have transitioned your wardrobe where you are wearing your new clothes on a regular basis. You can give back and sell old ones online, in a yard sale or donate them.

Ways to Incorporate Leather

When it comes to changing up your wardrobe, leather is a great fabric to incorporate. It is breathable, easy to clean and can be worn all year long. This is especially great when the days might be warm but nights are cool. Leather pairs well with a great pair of quality light or dark pair of jeans, or with dress pants. You can also add in leather accessories, from wallets to purses.

Leather in Homes

When it comes to leather in a home, many people’s first reaction is a leather couch. For others, they may invest in leather dining tables, bar stools, office chairs, benches, ottomans and more. Many have taken leather in the home beyond seating. Leather drapery and window treatments are a unique addition to the home and might not have come across your radar previously. It will be something your guests have never seen before and will be easy to maintain. Next, you could add elements of leather to your walls.

You will love how the material holds up in daily use. Leather is really popular with smaller accessories as well. A leather belt can last for decades, much like a leather watch band. Leather has also worked its way into tech as you can find upscale leather phone and tablet cases, laptop accessories and much more.

The Beloved Leather Jacket

When buying a leather jacket, you will be making such a great investment for your wardrobe. The leather jacket will truly stand the test of time as it can last for decades, both structurally and through different fashion trends. While commonly used for those who ride motorcycles, anyone can find a style of a leather jacket that works for them. This material is breathable which will allow you to wear it outdoor on cooler evenings and keep you warm, but allow you to feel comfortable when moving indoors. Simply store it in a dry environment at temperatures that are not too warm and you will be impressed with how long it will last.

As time goes on, you may want some minor changes in your leather. Visit your closet and take a look at your jackets and accessories and try some of these custom leather ideas to liven up what items you have in your wardrobe!

Jackets

A popular idea to liven up a standard black leather jacket is with words! Some leather jacket owners enjoy adding words, whether it be a name, group name, or phrases, on the back of a jacket. On the flipside, many who own a leather jacket have a very simple black piece like to add buttons and zippers for flair. Zippers can go on any part of a jacket, whether there are a few zippers on the front to even some on the arms. They can serve both aesthetic and/or practical purposes. For others, they might enjoy adding patches to their jacket for important milestones, places, etc. Another idea to add to a leather jacket are pockets. These can include zippers or buttons to open.

Accessories

When it comes to leather accessories, there options to customize them are endless. Accessories are already a great accent piece to a wardrobe. With custom leather work, you can make even the simplest of accessories into fashionable pieces. A popular customization that is done to leather accessories is monogramming. Monograms is a design of a person’s initials on an item. They often have a very distinct font and use two opposite colors, for instance one bright and one dark. Next, if you have a leather wallet, consider adding a chain to it. This will not only make it functional in more ways than originally possible, but will change the overall look of the piece.

Restoration

While customization is great, sometimes you want to just restore your leather to its original beauty. This is when repairs or cleaning is needed. Restoration can restore a faded color back to its shine you loved before. Restoration is also great to condition leather to help it have a fresh, new look. Over time, zippers and buttons may become damaged or worn. This is where restoration can replace any failing pieces and make the jacket or accessory look like new. While some restoration can be done by you, you can also trust an expert to make your item look like new. You can also have leather resized as well.
