Leather as a style statement is undoubtedly smart, a winter classic and a wardrobe essential for many stylistas who wait throughout the year to sport their cool leather jackets or knee-high boots during this party season. It is preferred not only for the style quotient it adds to a look but also for its durability and weather comfort. However, with Calcutta experiencing a mellow winter this year, like most years, going for a head-to-toe leather look is hardly an option in this city. t2 created a smart and cool leather-accessorised party lookbook to give styling cues on how to sport this winter favourite through accessorisation during this peak party season. Friends, actress Richa Sharma and Iryna Vikyrchak, poet, writer and president of Kolkata International Women’s Club, donned the looks for us.
White and red is a quintessential palette for many for the Christmas lunch party. Richa and Iryna sport the classic Christmas colour palette by accessorising their looks with leather items from Leather World. Iryna kept the style comfy in a flowy slit gown, paired with black boots and a bright red leather biker jacket with string detailing. Richa kept it smart and accessorised her embellished white corset dress with a textured imported Italian long leather jacket, paired with knee-high boots.
Co-ords are a big fashion hit this year, and Richa and Iryna show how to rock it in the winter party season, too, with a hint of leather detailing. Richa kept it casual and cool in the Shipra Karnani leather-detailed bustier, paired with a neon green slit palazzo and black leather jacket. Iryna complemented the monotone frame in a Shipra Karnani blue co-ord, with an interesting leather pattern on top and fringes on the side. The green Leather World bag completed the look.
Richa and Iryna rock the classic LBD party look in this frame. Richa’s one-shoulder LBD from Shipra Karnani is designed party-perfect with organza and leather ruffles in front and with leather fringes on either side. Iryna amped up the style quotient with the twisted and vibrant leather belt from Shipra Karnani to glam up the simple LBD and added a hint of comfort with the textured Leather World jacket, exuding green and blue hues over the black to get the party feel right.
