There’s something very decadent about the idea of distressed leathers and rough furs. The lived-in feeling adds romanticism and alludes to the glamous life enjoyed by the garment in question, even if it’s brand new. From hide coats by masters like Burberry Prorsum or Fendi and handbags with a degrade, distressed affect to a pair of intentionally scuffed-toed Alexander Wang boots, the look is about lived-in luxury. Add leather stem eyewear by Perrin and similarly natural feeling accessories like this one-of-a-kind dreamcatcher necklace by H.O.W.L. and you’re ready to hit the ground running. Of course there are always options like the thigh-high DSquared fossil-heeled boots for added glamour.
