As my black phase continues, I have been purchasing much more patent leather. Living in Utah, you never really know what kind of weather you are going to get each day, which has fueled my deep love for patent leather. Snow and rain have certainly ruined multiple suede/leather bags and shoes in my past. RIP.
Patent leather is not only weather proof, but stands out against just a sea of flat black. Adding high shine and durability is clearly what sells me every time. Most people are fearful of too much patent coming off as cheap, but small hints in your footwear or just in panels on your clothing (like my Muubaa jacket) can easily give a different texture to a classic wardrobe staple.
Patent Leather Jacket: Muubaa, Pants: Express, Tank: H&M, Patent Leather Shoes: Valentino, Lips: YSL “Extreme Coral”.
