In the 2025/2026 autumn-winter period, leather is once again a key trend. This time around, it’s showcased not only in familiar jackets and skirts, but also as the seasonal centerpiece – the leather dress. Vogue.ua has curated a selection of five of the most fashionable styles and elegant ways to style them this autumn.
Brown leather dresses

No other hue represents fall as beautifully as brown. Its inviting tones evoke thoughts of shedding leaves and warm nights. Regarding leather dresses, this range is also significantly present – from vibrant auburn to profoundly dark brown. Style icons are pairing leather midi dresses with a suede belt featuring a gilded clasp – a straightforward yet striking trick that draws attention to the silhouette and imparts structure to the overall ensemble.
Leather total look
This season, one can’t have too much leather – at least when observing how street style luminaries are habitually pairing lengthy leather trench coats with maxi dresses of the same fabric. Leonie Hanne went for a black, short-length style, a dark brown overcoat, and black accessories – footwear, a handbag, and shades. In spite of the multitude of leather garments, the look is still cohesive and doesn’t come across as excessive.
Burgundy leather dresses
Another color that complements leather dresses beautifully is burgundy. This shade has been relevant for several seasons and once again has a significant presence this autumn. Irrespective of the design, whether an exposed-shoulder dress or a fitted corset model, a deep red leather ensemble blends harmoniously with hues from the same spectrum, as well as with black, brown, or silver. Such a look is readily adaptable, even for formal occasions.
Suede dresses
Suede is appealing not just for its inviting texture, but also for its refined appearance. It’s no surprise that designers are using this smooth material for purses, boots, and of course, dresses. This autumn, a long trench and over-the-knee boots will be a perfect match for a suede minidress.

An impeccable solution that consistently works well is a matching head-to-toe look featuring a leather dress at its core. Little Sims chose a black midi dress accentuating the waist, pairing it with footwear and a handbag from Christian Louboutin. Subtle golden jewelry, the red outsoles of the shoes, and crocodile embossing on the handbag contributed a sophisticated element to the look.
