Sandals only
Sandals only
Leather dresses are always associated with a sexy and sophisticated look and seeing examples like this from Rosie Huntington, we are not surprised. The model makes the most of it by letting it shine on its own, wearing the most minimalist strap sandals as the only accessory.
A few jewels

Jennifer Aniston follows the same maxim as Rosie but she dares to sprinkle her outfit with a few jewels. The result is flawless in any case.

We liked the type of dress that Millie Bobby Brown wears because it makes it clear that leather, in addition to having that sexy side, has another much more lady. The fault lies in the shapes of this dress-jacket that she reinforces with some white pumps.
The nude never fails

This leather minidress, marking the waist well, is wonderful. If you do not want to risk when combining it, do as here and wear it with some nude pumps. There is no possibility of error.

All black
All black
This type of dress asks for minimalist looks because you have to give it all the prominence. For this reason, one of the formulas that will best suit you is to wear your leather dress with black pumps, especially if the garment itself already has some detail that makes it even more special.
Handbag
Handbag
So that it does not compete with your dress, better carry a handbag or if you want on the shoulder but avoid being made of leather. Stick better with stiff, shiny materials, like Gwyneth Paltrow does.
Colors

The exception to these rules is set by Olivia Palermo, who as an outstanding student of fashion is an expert in making the most risky combinations look good on her. She wears her leather dress with yellow pumps and red handbag. We repeat: this look is only suitable for influencers.
With blouse
With blouse
There are leather dresses that allow wearing a blouse underneath like here. In this case, one of the same color as the dress has been chosen, but light colors are also favored, of course, avoiding pastel ones.

Another garment that never fails when it comes to putting it under a pinafore (or almost whatever) is the men's white shirt. We also like the touch that sports shoes give to the look.

If you have made yourself with a leather pinafore dress, you can wear it with a sweater underneath. Those with sailor stripes are a good option but they also serve gray, red …

It seems that leather dresses of colors other than black admit more combinations. Rosie Huntington wears hers, in white, with snake print pumps and the result is wonderful.
Over the knee boots
Over the knee boots
Alessandra Ambrosio, with one in camel leather, wears it with black over the knee boots and we think it is a success. If the dress were also black, maybe the look would be too aggressive but it is ultra elegant.
Ankle boots

The same goes for this look by Manuela Vellés with a beautiful burgundy dress. She wears it with black track sole ankle boots and achieves a perfect balance.
Bordeaux with burgundy
Bordeaux with burgundy
The same as Gala González, except that she wears her burgundy leather dress with boots of the same tone and gives it a different note with her multicolored mini-bag.
A touch of gold
A touch of gold
The most daring look with a leather dress of all is signed by Nieves Álvarez and is that the garment itself already includes multicolored stripes as a pattern that change the game completely. For this reason, she dares to combine it with golden rhinestone heels. It is not suitable for everyone.
The most risky
The most risky
Only if your name is Jennifer Lopez can you wear a look like this and be victorious. In any case, we can copy the idea of the total look without losing the perspective that a blue snake animal print may be excessive in your day to day.
Leather dresses have their crumb when it comes to combining them. And no, not everything is worth as you would think with any black dress. The fabric is the protagonist of the look and you have to let it shine in all its splendor. Therefore, many times you have to resort to minimalist looks that do not compete with you. We will tell you how leather, black and colored dresses are combined.
Rules for combining a leather dress
- If it is black. The possibilities are smaller when it comes to combining a black leather dress than any other color. The reason is simple and is that these types of garments are capable of making a complete look by themselves . Therefore, the best solution is to wear them alone, with simple strappy sandals of the same color, with white pumps if you want to give it a lady touch or with nude ones if you don't want to play it. Of course, black salons are more than welcome. If your leather dress is a pinafore, you can wear it with blouses and sweaters underneath. See that they are in solid colors or with very discreet prints and better if they are in basic colors.
- If it is any other color. In that case there are more possibilities and it is that these dresses contradict all the classic rules of styling. For example, with over the knee boots a camel-toned dress is better to avoid looking like a dominatrix. Burgundy dresses also admit boots in black and even total looks with shoes of the same color. In these cases, it is a good idea to introduce a new item with more colors, such as a bag. When the leather dress is white, we can mix it with animal print accessories. And if it is the dress itself that already includes more colors (for example, stripes in various tones on a black dress), the range opens and you can wear it with more fancy accessories such as golden salons.
