How to wear a leather dress

Keep everything else matte: a sheer black tight, a suede boot, a wool coat. In the day, a leather midi with a knit over it reads as polished rather than loud. At night, the close cut LaQuan Smith dresses need only a heel. Leather softens and moulds as you wear it, so buy your usual size; see the LaQuan Smith size guide.

Frequently asked questions

Are leather dresses in style?

Yes. Leather midi dresses are a key autumn and winter shape for 2026, in black and in colours like bordeaux and cognac.

What shoes go with a black leather dress?

A knee boot, a pointed pump and a loafer with a sheer tight all work.

Can you wear a leather dress to a wedding?

For an evening, autumn and winter wedding, a leather midi in a colour works; avoid black for a daytime ceremony.

How do you clean a leather dress?

Specialist leather clean only. Hang it on a padded hanger away from direct sun.

Does a leather dress stretch?

A little. Leather moulds to the body with wear, so it should fit closely when new.
