Spring’s Best Leather Accessories

As spring approaches, we’re looking for ways to update our wardrobes without blowing an entire paycheck on new clothing and accessories. Buying into a trend can be expensive, especially if it’s obviously fleeting, so we always look for updated classics that will complement the wardrobe rather than oppose it. One of the easiest ways to refresh your look for a new season is to add fresh leather accessories to your closet. Not only will they last a long time, a great wallet or weekender never goes out of style. Check out some of our favorites below and update your look without breaking the bank.

BellroyBellroy Slim Sleeve Wallet
This bi-fold wallet may seem like any other until you take a look inside. Two quick access card slots hold your most used plastic, and cash folds easily in the half fold. Use the leather pull tab on the opposite side to access even more cards if you roll like that. In fact, this vegetable tanned cow leather beauty can hold about 15 cards without creating any extra bulge. Your pants pockets will thank you. $79, Roztayger

This fleece-lined Crocs Shorty transforms comfort into cold-weather luxury
Crocs upgrades its traditional clog with luxurious new details

Although it might be hard to equate a Crocs clog with luxury footwear, the brand has slowly worked to upgrade its lineup to appear much more elevated. With recent collaborations with brands like Barbour, the Crocs brand has added sophisticated details to its products that make them seem much more luxurious. Now, the brand is taking matters in-house with a new release that takes the Classic Clog and turns it into a winter-ready luxury slipper you can wear outside. While the latest release utilizes the traditional and signature clog silhouette from Crocs, subtle upgrades have elevated the design into a slipper that works for almost any cold-weather environment. Just in time for the start of the colder months, these lined Crocs bring an elevated style that many aren’t used to seeing from Crocs until now.
