Fashion Forecast: Taste the Rainbow

I wish I could have come up with a cleverer title for this, but alas, I seem to have run out.  Anyway, this spring's warm weather leather comes in hues as bright as the rest of spring's clothing: lavenders, turquoise, tangerine, lime, and especially red were popular colours for leather jackets this season.  Coloured leather was not limited only to jackets either - purses and skinny belts were as bright as the jackets, and I'll add that they are considerably more affordable ways to update your wardrobe than purchasing a whole new jacket.  It seems that the bomber jacket has taken a leave of absence from the runway, replaced entirely by the ubiquitous motorcycle jacket.  Proud owner of a leather motorcycle jacket myself, I can say that they're a great addition to your wardrobe, and if you pick a more timeless colour (black is best, brown also works) than you can be sure to get good mileage for your money.  Photos by http://www.style.com/.
