When it comes to fall fashion, there are just some colors and prints that we expect (hello, burgundy and plaid). Fall 2014 is throwing us all a curveball, however, with the addition of florals and pastels. As new and fresh as it seems, there’s a real margin for error, which means we need to make other wardrobing choices to tone down such springy fabrics. Leather–quilted leather specifically–is perfect. As an accent like epaulets on a sweater or in slightly larger doses like a skirt or jacket, it’s nearly impossible to overdo it. And if you’re looking for something with maximum fashion staying power, choose a classic quilted leather wallet or clutch.
