Olivia Palermo in Christian Dior black leather @ Paris Fashion Week Christian Dior AW 2012

Leather is a trend that will definitely continue beyond next season - Olivia is always one to watch for what to wear, and this black leather belted top with peplum paired with dark blue is actually from Christian Dior Resort 2013. So while you may have been hesitant to add the leather trend to your wardrobe during these summer months, definitely keep it mind for August and beyond. I know we're only in early July, but Fall Trend Previews are right around the corner..

Olivia's dress won't be available for many months, so there is no online shopping here, but her styling is flawless. She makes leather look summery with fabulous wedge heels and raffia handbag. Lovely.
