10 Patent Leather Pieces to Shop Now, Inspired By Paris Street Style


The ultimate fashion fanatics don’t just look to the runways for their style cues, but the streets outside the venues, taking detailed notes on which It-girl and model of the moment is wearing what and how–and Paris is the ultimate location to do just that. This Paris Fashion Week, one trend specifically, has been worn by every model of the moment–Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin included–as well as on the Saint Laurent runway. High-shine of patent leather, whether in bags, pants, dresses, or jackets, has quickly become the trend to wear now. Do not be intimidated by the rock-and-roll appeal; these glossy pieces are an easy go-to when you need to liven up any outfit. The trick? Mix one statement patent leather piece with more casual, laid-back pieces, like a plain t-shirt and jeans, so the shine is the ultimate focus of your outfit. Here, our favorite patent leather pieces available now to rock before Paris Fashion Week even ends.
