Can you wear different types of leather together?
Different types of leather together give a modern and stylish look to an outfit. Full-grain, calfskin, lambskin, snakeskin, crocodile, and sheepskin are some of the different types of leather that shoes, handbags, and accessories are made from. Many times they have different textures/finishes (pebbled, washed, wrinkled) and are dyed in different colors. When mixing leather stick to no more than two or three different textures in an outfit. Go ahead and mix your leather. For example, a lambskin skirt with a snakeskin handbag looks very chic. Handbags and shoes can have different textures and/or colors. Experiment to see how different leather textures and colors look together.
