Models

Having recently appeared in wide production, eco-leather quickly gained popularity and has been shimmering on fashionable tracks for several seasons.

Simple but bright straight cut models are popular.One of the options is a sleeveless red dress with several pleats at the waist.

An effective choice for creating a stylish look would be a black perforated leather dress with a fluffy skirt.

For a more business-like style, choose a minimalist mid-length straight dress or an A-line outfit.

To create a fatal look, it is worth choosing a tight-fitting model. For this, a burgundy dress with a shallow neckline is suitable, or a straight-cut outfit with a pencil skirt and flashlight sleeves.

For large sizes

For obese girls, classic models are best suited:

  • traditional semi-fitted silhouette;
  • close-fitting, but not tight-fitting style, preferably of medium length;
  • A-line dresses are preferred;
  • trapezoid.

You should choose simple semi-closed or closed outfits, to which you can add belts of different widths. You can complement the image with a bag and clutches. Shoes with low or medium heels are perfect for your dress, which visually make you taller and slimmer.

From eco-leather and knitwear

Dresses made of knitwear in combination with leather elements look very unusual and interesting. The knitwear gently envelops your figure, and the leather gives your look a zest.

A dress with a knitted top and a straight leather skirt looks extraordinary - it seems as if you are wearing two different things. This ensemble is eye-catching and, thanks to the leather, can be worn with ease. The skirt can also be flared for a playful, feminine look.

Also very attractive are knitted models, which are complemented by leather sleeves.

With inserts

Fabric dresses with leather inserts are no less popular. They look very interesting and unusual, thanks to which the image itself becomes playful and a little mysterious.

Dresses with leather inserts should fit the figure and be made from fabrics of bright colors. With the help of the contrast of materials, your advantages are emphasized and minor flaws are hidden.

Colour

You can choose an outfit made of eco-leather in any color, but you should pay attention to the colors and shades that are popular this season.

Models in black, burgundy, brown, dark blue and dark green outfits shine on fashionable tracks. There were also outfits of bright orange and dark red.

Dresses with prints or perforations look very original. The most popular print is imitation of snake or crocodile skin.

Red

A red dress is a very striking wardrobe detail and you need to know how to wear it. Straight dresses with a lace insert will give the impression of a passionate and open nature, so it is worth applying a minimum of makeup.

You can complement the look with a thin brown strap and high heels.

Black

A classic of the genre - a little black dress is suitable for almost all occasions, even if this dress is made of eco-leather.

A black fitted outfit with an asymmetrical neckline and one sleeve will create the image of a freedom-loving rebel and a rock star.

Designers decorate outfits with stones, rhinestones, metal rivets, buttons and zippers, but a dress, abundantly covered with pins, is a novelty.

Brown

The dress of all shades of brown looks very interesting and unusual. Made of light brown leather with a straight silhouette with a dark leather insert, it looks understated and elegant. A small handbag and leather sandals will complete the look.

Beige

There are beige outfits in almost every collection of modern designers, and for good reason. The beige color catches the eye, from afar it seems as if you are walking without a dress, but all the luxury of the outfit is visible closer. Often there are beige dresses of medium and mini length, decorated with perforations or rhinestones.

Products made from eco-leather differ slightly in properties from a natural product, while relatively inexpensive.

All these are fairy tales! You still sweat like a driven horse! All my friends who tried to wear dresses made of eco-leather - every single one, including myself, we can say that you start to sweat as early as the fifth minute of wearing!

Yes, the prefix "eco" is rather a marketing ploy. Of course, such clothes cannot be compared with natural cotton. Such clothes are not for everybody. Especially not recommended in hot weather and heavily sweating people.
