Let’s face it; sometimes leather just doesn’t work for the office. Sure, you look amazing in your leather leggings and want to wear them all day and everyday – but some things should be saved for a Friday girl’s night out, agreed? Also, some of us love the look of leather but choose not wear it to support ethical animal practices. Luckily, I’ve window-shopped some leather and faux leather dresses that are work and weekend appropriate.

1. FulChic: Black Pleated High PU Leather Dress – $30

2. Zara: Leather Effect Cut Work Dress – $90

3. Aritzia: Nori Suede Leather Dress – $125

4. Asos: HIDE Leathr Pinafore Dress – $339
