Shiny patent leather is one of those fabrications that hides away for a few seasons and re-emerges in a big way that makes us crave that reflective shine in our looks. I love that patent leather is both trendy AND timeless. It's timeless in a different way than some of the traditional "timeless" ideas (trenches, blazers, lambskin) because she has her moments and then she's stored until we are ready for patent again. For this reason, I suggest buying patent leather in classic silhouettes to keep it relevant throughout the years. LTKGiftGuide LTKstyletip LTKshoecrush
