Where It Started
Once synonymous with the bold, daring spirit of Mary Quant’s 60s mod girls, patent leather has evolved over the decades. From the pop culture of the 1980s – think early Madonna – to 90s-era Chanel, it’s something designers have continued to embrace throughout the decades.
On The Runway
High-shine leather was a standout trend on the AW24 runways, with Chloé contrasting liquid leather with soft, billowing blouses as it reinvents its boho house codes. Meanwhile, Bally opted for a softer colour palette that highlighted just how versatile the trend can be, before Ferragamo made a statement with head-to-toe matching ensembles in rich burgundy and gold.

How To Wear It Now
A high-shine pencil skirt is this season's must-have piece. Pair it with skinny roll-necks, oversized shirts and classic t-shirts to let it do the talking. For an easy day-to-night transition, opt for a leather midi dress. Dress it down with a roll-neck and blazer, or elevate it with polished slingbacks and statement earrings. Equally, you can’t go wrong with a pair of loose leather trousers – use them to add a modern twist to your knitwear looks.
