How to Style and Care for Vegan Leather: Never A Wallflower’s Guide to Chic and Sustainable Fashion
If there’s one trend that never goes out of style, it’s the edgy, sophisticated allure of leather. But for the conscious fashionista, vegan leather is the perfect alternative—offering the same timeless look without compromising on ethics or sustainability. This season at Never A Wallflower, we’ve embraced the luxe charm of vegan leather with classic black and deep olive green pieces. Whether you’re styling these wardrobe staples for a casual brunch or an elegant evening, here’s everything you need to know about rocking and maintaining your faux leather in style.
5 Tips to Style Vegan Leather Like a Pro
-
Balance Textures
Pair your sleek vegan leather pants or skirts with soft, cozy knits or flowy fabrics for a balanced look. Think a chunky sweater over an olive vegan leather skirt for a fall-ready outfit that’s equal parts chic and comfortable. -
Monochrome Magic
Black vegan leather isn’t just for edgy vibes; it can be elevated for a sleek, modern look. Style our black faux leather pieces with other shades of black or charcoal for a monochrome outfit that elongates your silhouette and screams sophistication. -
Add a Pop of Color
Olive green is a versatile hue, but it really shines when paired with bold, contrasting colors. Try a jewel-toned blouse or a vibrant scarf to make your outfit stand out while keeping it effortlessly coordinated. -
Casual Cool with Sneakers
Don’t think leather is just for heels and boots. Dress down a vegan leather jacket or trousers with crisp white sneakers for a casual, streetwear-inspired outfit that works for errands, brunch, or a casual office day. -
Accessorize Wisely
Vegan leather has a natural shine, so keep your accessories minimal to let the material take center stage. Opt for gold hoops, a sleek clutch, or a silk scarf for a polished finishing touch.
How to Care for Your Vegan Leather
Caring for vegan leather is surprisingly simple! Follow these tips to keep your pieces looking fresh and fabulous:
- Clean Gently: Wipe down your pieces with a damp microfiber cloth to remove dirt or smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the material.
- Avoid Overheating: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat can cause cracking or discoloration. Store your pieces in a cool, dry place.
- Moisturize Occasionally: Use a small amount of a leather-safe conditioner designed for vegan materials to keep them soft and supple.
- Hang, Don’t Fold: Always hang your vegan leather items to prevent creases or wrinkles.
