60 Polished Patent Leather Fashions

From Laminated Skater Kicks to Brass Knuckle Fashion

— January 28, 2012 — Fashion
While retro, ladylike fashions, including A-line skirts and floral prints, have been taking over the fashion world for a few seasons now, a great way to update your look is through the use of patent leather fashions.

This pretty, glossy form of leather is effortlessly chic and adds an instant touch of glamor to your wardrobe in a way that not many accessories can. Whether you're adventurous enough to don a patent leather dress or prefer to stick to glossy leather shoes and bags, these patent leather fashions are a fun and youthful way to turn heads.

Of course, you can go the animal-friendly route and opt for faux patent leather, but regardless of how you wear them, these patent leather fashions are a great way to add some edge to your look.
