Tips On Shopping For Leather at Forever 21

All the leather jackets I tried on sold out online already. So I’ll just share my tips on shopping the leather at Forever 21.

1. Go for matte.
Skip anything shiny. Even though you’re wearing faux, you don’t want it to look fake. The sheen instantly cheapens the leatherette.

2. Simple is good.
These aren’t high-quality leather items from Milan. So when there are pleats or ruffles, it usually doesn’t turn out too well. Look for jackets and skirts that lay flat across your body.

3. Don’t buy this Studded Leatherette Jacket.
Spending $50 at Forever 21 is like spending $25 on a McDonalds premium salad just because it says premium. Get one of Forever’s cheaper jackets and have a DIY night or skip the studded jacket all together. A plain one goes with more outfits and you can get your punk in with these studded boots—or this studded handbag. You don’t want more than one studded item per outfit.

i actually got that studded jacket and it feels and looks great on. not u-g-l-y at all. i gotta say, i was really surprised that it felt really soft, matte and comfy, being from F21 and all. it was very well put together. and for the price, i think it’s actually worth it as opposed to a really expensive leather jacket. plus, the faux ones at urban outfitters are waaaaay overpriced if you wanna talk rip off. all over 100 dollars and they look way cheap and feel sticky. can’t wait to wear it once the weather gets colder :)
