Spiegel - more great retro leather looks

Although it may not always be the best quality, Spiegel still rocks some great leather looks.

Love the contrast of the bright blue lamb leather jacket paired with the sexy long black leather gloves. The bright leather is a very 1980s look.


Speaking of bold 1980s colors, the purple long leather gloves really make the yellow dress and coat stand out. The beret is a nice touch, too.


Again, great use of bold colors and long leather gloves. I especially like this season's newest fashion accessory, the sweater scarf which can also be worn as a cowl or a hood.


More great accessorizing with the sweater scarf and the long leather gloves.


Although I'm not a fan of the style, this cape-style coat is a great way to show off those long leather gloves!

The new Talbot's has potential

Speaking of Talbot's, I was impressed with their fall/winter line in their previous catalog. I've always thought of Talbot's as very conservative, but it's nice to see that they're branching out.

Although the model is made-up kind of scary, I definitely like the sexy leather jacket and long black leather gloves.


Nice use of long black leather gloves as accessories with these outfits.


The long gloves are nice, but the dress on the left would look stunning with opera-length black leather gloves!


The caramel-colored long leather gloves are a nice change from basic black.

New Talbot's catalog

Our new Talbot's catalog came in today's mail and there are a couple of "leather looks" I really like.

I've always thought that "winter shorts" paired with tights were very sexy. This look is made even better by pairing them with a sexy sweater and some long black leather gloves.


I also like the contrast of the smooth black leather blazer paired with the pattern and ruffles of the grey tweed skirt.

Spiegel catalog - 1980s flashback?

The current Spiegel flashback looks like a catalog straight from the 1980s, especially with its use of bright, bold colors mixed together. It's nice to see the long purple leather gloves with the yellow dress and beret featured prominently on the front page and repeated a couple of more times inside.  However, the long black leather gloves paired with the bright blue jacket is a personal favorite. It's also good to see hood / cowl scarves return as a fashion accessory. I bought one several years ago and am glad I held onto it all of these years.
