WOMEN'S FAUX LEATHER, ROCK-CHIC STYLE WITHOUT THE ETHICAL COMPROMISE
FAUX LEATHER, A SMART ALTERNATIVE TO ANIMAL LEATHER
Faux leather used to have a reputation as a lower-quality fabric. That's a thing of the past. The new generation of faux leathers offers a look and feel very close to genuine leather, without the ethical and environmental concerns tied to the animal leather industry. At Place du Jour, we work faux leather into several pieces of our range because it offers a unique stylistic versatility: bringing a rock, urban, confident edge, without weighing down your wardrobe with a fabric that needs special care.
ALL THE FAUX LEATHER PIECES IN THE RANGE
Place du Jour faux leather runs across several categories. Faux leather pants for standout evening pieces or bold looks. Short or fitted faux leather jackets to add a rock edge to any outfit. Faux leather bustiers and tops for statement pieces. Faux leather skirts to structure a silhouette. On the color side: classic black remains the best-seller, but faux leather also comes in cognac, burgundy, and more unexpected shades (powder pink, navy).
HOW TO WEAR FAUX LEATHER WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE A ROCK COSTUME
Faux leather has a strong personality. To avoid a full-on rock costume look, use it sparingly. The rule: only one faux leather piece per outfit. Faux leather pants pair well with a soft top (a silk blouse, a fine white cotton t-shirt, a cashmere sweater). A faux leather jacket works over a flowy dress or classic jeans — never over pants that are also faux leather. Shoe-wise: white sneakers, camel mules, nude pumps.
