i really like leather but i dont think this season they did the best use of it. most of the leather looks look sloppy

Leather suits are not a good look. Leather pants, with leather blazers, with leather shirt, tie and shoes = Terrible.

I've changed the thread title, as it seems the trend is translating into Womenswear, too.

I was going to make a post about this first noticed it at Wang I think. I'm enjoying the port and green colours too. I'm not sure if it all of it is real leather though some of it looks too shiny and at Alexander Wang there was some ribbed/ridged fabric which I particularly liked but I wasn't entirely sure it was leather.

It's true that some expressions are not as [insert synonym for "good" here] as others, but many that I've seen are superb.

As an aside, it seems that every year for the past 3-4, leather has become more and more popular. 5 years ago, I could wear leather pants - very good ones - and no matter how well they were accessorized [i.e. tastefully] heads would turn and stares would practically burn holes into me, but in the past year or so, it's not nearly as bad. I know it's not a scientific oberservation, but there absolutely is a difference now.

I think one differece is practically everywhere you look, women are wearing over-the-knee leather boots. As a result, people are more accustomed to seeing a lot of the material. It's very common to see a lady with a long leather coat and high boots, creating what amounts to a full-leather look. In any case, I love it.
