Vintage look: we will never have enough of this material even in spring 2024

Used-effect leather: we can’t get enough of this casual and trendy material

Leather is an absolutely classic material and is inextricably linked to pop culture moments that are referenced again and again. Because what would stars like Kate Moss be without her biker jacket at indie festivals and the cast of The Matrix without their wicked coats? But the cult material must be suffering a little at the moment: recently there have been requests for products that seem to have already done a few motorcycle tours through wind and weather. Durable clothing in shiny silver and a flawless finish? Please don’t do this. The softer it is, the better. Whether it’s a jacket, a coat or trousers, leather garments must have character and history. Brave impeccability hardly tells of adventures. Anyone who doesn’t want to go through the arduous process Vintage fighter There is currently a wide selection of used-looking leather at Miu Miu and Saint Laurent, but also more affordable at Zara and Calzedonia. These pieces may not have a long history, but they will certainly hold up to your next (urban) expeditions.

The used-looking leather can be found especially on jackets, dresses and trousers – and on the new legging models from Calzedonia

Clean meets rock: The used-looking leather surprisingly goes particularly well with contrasting materials.

The used-looking leather looks particularly nice in combination with materials that are actually a little too “unsightly”. Soft cashmere fits beautifully under a blush leather jacket, while a light blue pressed poplin shirt cleverly breaks up brown leather leggings. If you don’t want to invest several thousand euros in a designer item, you can find it at Calzedonia. Here the faux leather leggings meet the trendy brown color: washed out and, of course, almost rock like after a concert marathon. In this way the Italian manufacturer hits the fashion target and at the same time hits a raw nerve: the trend goes back to our desire to import a bit of nonconformity into our often hectic daily lives. If weekly planning leaves little room for surprising adventures, then at least our clothes tell the story.
