Warning, this is one of those do it yourself tutorials that is so simple and genius, it’ll make you wonder, why didn’t I think of that? The leather harness trend is definitely for the bold and brave. If you’re eager to get started, first assemble your materials, which include a piece of leather, a package of o-rings and a pair of fabric scissors.

Start by cutting out four strips of leather, identical in length.
Lay the strips flat in the desired shape, and then get ready to attach the matching zipper. This tutorial features two rows of leather strips and a v neck harness strap which attaches via o-ring at the chest.
Next, you’ll want to stitch the leather strips to the zipper. Reinforce the stitches on the opposite end and sew close.
Fold over a small amount of leather fabric through the O-ring and sew together.

The end result is totally lust-worthy and on-trend. Street style bloggers often layer a leather harness over a long sleeve top or causal tee during the winter. For other unique ways to wear it, pair with a floaty high-low dress for a perfect contrast of tough and feminine. Or, craft leg harnesses and wear them with shorts or a pencil skirt for a futuristic take. When it comes to warmer temps, style with a cropped top and high waist shorts for a perfect laid-back festival outfit. If you’re feeling extra fierce, put all eyes on you and sport with a lace bandeau for an eye-catching look.

Not only will you look chic as can be, you’ll save your wallet from buying a manufactured leather harness with a hefty price tag. All you need to do is find a harness style that you like and get crafty! When it comes to faux leather fabric options, look towards our wide array of options available at MJTrends.
