 Leather is Back! Well, only in the area of accessories anyway. You can keep that leather pants safely tucked away in the wardrobe for another year at least.
You won't go far wrong buying any kind of accessory at the moment - so long as its leather. And it can be money well spent too - leather is well wearing and will last for years. So belts, wallets, neck ropes, bracelets and messenger bags should all be good quality leather. And not some scruffy cheap imitation leather either. These accessories must be like you - built to last. So when buying, ensure the leather is genuine and of good quality. '100% genuine imitation leather' should not be on the tag. Here we give you some essentials.  Necklace /Bracelets: Wear only if you have a pretty neck. No, seriously, if your neck is fat,stubby or unsighly avoid this seasons neck fastion - leather necklases. The ideal is a thin strip necklace, preferable a simple one. It could be argued that a thin necklace will help elongate your neck, but we say why even draw attention in that direction. You don't have to spend a fortune to get this accessory right - we found this one at Tropicari and it fits the bill perfectly at $20. For bracelets, some Indian design or flourish on the bracelet looks good. Several leather strips can be combined. Avoid bulky or overly loose bracelets.
 Belts: KISS - Keep it Simple Silly (or Sissy...). Plain leather with silver buckle. Perfect.
Belt pictured is the Classic Reversible Belt from Emporio Armani, priced at $225.  Wallets: Well you want to look good when flashing the cash right? Gone are the days of fishing for crumpled up notes in your pockets. Leather wallets will keep your notes crisp, make you look richer than you are and make a style statement. Match with the belt - leather and simple design. Hide the Tesco Clubcard when on dates. Wallet pictured is Prada (M513), costing in the region of $120.
 Bags. We're not fully convinced yet that men should be carrying bags. If in doubt then avoid. If you feel comfortable runnaging in the depths of a bag for your cellphone then by all means buy a plain, good quality leather despatch or messenger type bag for 2008. Bag pictured is Hugo Boss Despatch Bag $200.
 Headbands - You're kidding, right?
