(P)Leather-Dress Mess

I hope you are starting your new year’s workout routine because this next trend is not very forgiving. Leather Dresses, yeah, leather dresses. Nuff said.

Celebs like J.Lo, Nicole Richie, Nicole Scherzinger and Rihanna love this look, but my mini keg I call a stomach doesn’t.

Here are a few figure-flattering options fit for a skinny budget.

Boyish Figure

This will cover your arms and looks way longer on your hemline in person. This model is 5’8 and a size small. I’m 5’3 so will lay quite differently.

Tummy Tuck

This won’t hide your tummy totally, but isn’t skin tight on your belly like most of the other leather dresses on the market. Add some Spanx for extra support, dark tights and a boyfriend blazer to create a work-appropriate leather look.

Arm Shy

This is the perfect dress to showcase the trend, look classy, and feel covered up. Any age can pull this off.
