When it comes to epic battles and even more epic wardrobe styling, Game of Thrones continually raises the bar. This past season was no exception, with episodes like “The Battle of the Bastards” outshining action scenes found in recent movies. Leather looks were found in all parts of Westeros, from the deadly Dornish Sand Sisters to the stunning leather pieces worn by Daenerys and Missandei.
Winter may have officially arrived, but leather trends in GoT still prevail, season after season. Warriors by heart, the Sand Sisters from Dorne are able to dish out to tons of action without sacrificing their style. Want to try it out? Go for a leather bustier with peekaboo, cut out detailing and contrast with a loose, flowy skirt.
On the other end of the spectrum, Lyanna Mormont stole the show with her brutally honest demeanor and garb to match. Living in the North, layering becomes second nature, and Lyanna schooled us all with a dark leather tunic layered beneath heavy furs. Sansa Stark certainly evolved this season, looking more mature with darker colors, leather fabrics and furs to represent her role change into Queen of the North.
Make a statement next season with a leather bib necklace, a braided leather belt or a pair of over the wrist leather gloves. We’re certain that these timeless leather pieces will serve you for seasons to come. Similarly, Arya looked fancy for parts of this season with a gypsy-inspired, feminine look.
This season, the mother of dragons found herself back among the Dothraki, appearing in a familiar, distressed leather look. In stark contrast to her clean, all-white regal looks,Daenerys’ leather outfits represent her fierce attitude brought about from her experiences with the Dothraki. Meanwhile, in Mereen, Missandei continues to slay with a sleek halter style cropped top and chic skirt.
