I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Not all trends are created equal. Some are universally flattering; others feel less approachable. Some last only for months, but others can stay around for seasons upon seasons. More often than not, these trends tend to cost a pretty penny, but others can be found at any budget and still look ultra luxe. Of course, this brings me to the topic of today’s post, the leather trend.

While I’m sure you’ve seen it all over the streets, your feed, and maybe even the runways back in February, did you know that it’s also available at Target in countless versions, all of which are under $60? Game changer, am I right? To see and shop the editor- and influencer-approved Who What Wear collection pieces for yourself and get some styling inspo along the way, just keep scrolling.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
