Starts with Inspiration: Leather-sleeved trench

Feminine shape? Check. Edgy leather detail? Check. The leather-sleeved trench is a refreshing take on the classic coat that is ubiquitous on every fashionista's wardrobe essentials list.  With versions by Burberry, Rag and Bone, and ASOS, there is also no shortage of options ranging from luxe to cheap-and-chic. My personal favourite is the Mackage version pictured above. At half the price of the luxe versions but still boasting genuine lamb leather and Mackage's signature asymmetrical shape, it's still a decadent indulgence nonetheless, but that of course is all a matter of perspective.
