Summer makes its official arrival this year on June 21, and with summer, comes a chance to bring out all of your favorite warm-weather pieces. Is your closet ready for the change in seasons? Are you on top of all the latest summertime trends? Is a shopping trip in your future to update your look? Keep reading for tips from your leather store in Denver to find out more about what you should be wearing this summer as well as how you can keep leather in your wardrobe.

Colors That Are On Trend

The runways at the spring and summer fashion shows were full of pastel colors that look like they were pulled right out of your Easter basket. Picture pretty pinks and robin’s egg blues. But the other end of the spectrum was also well represented with bright, bold colors, such as electric blue and dandelion yellow. Any of these colors will pair well with a classic black skirt or tailored black pant. Check out your closet for what you might already have.

Wearing Leather in the Summer

Denver’s high altitude means that even in the summer, there are many cool nights—and a leather jacket can be just perfect. You can wear your leather with jeans, a dress, or a skirt—regardless of the style. If your leather jacket is brown, you can pair it with soft pastels. If your leather jacket is black, try wearing it with bolder colors for an edgier look.

Dresses, Dresses, and More Dresses

From classic A-line to baby doll style that nods to the nineties—and everything in between—you can’t go wrong with a dress this summer. Not only are dresses cooler than pants, but they add a level of sophistication to your look. Dress it up or down, depending on your shoes and accessories. A classic black dress can be sophisticated with a pair of heels and a scarf, or it can be simple and sweet with a pair of casual flipflops and a trendy trucker’s cap. (A dress also looks great with a leather jacket!)

If you need to add a few new dresses to your summer wardrobe and need some ideas on styles to try out, here’s Vogue magazine’s take on the hottest dresses for summer 2018.
