Leather sleeves have made their appearance on a few mixed-material jackets in the last few months and now with the Alexander McQueen Leather-Sleeved Sweatshirt, they have started to creep their way into other clothing pieces. While the common fleecy may have once been considered a casual throw-on piece, if edgy details such as these leather sleeves continue to crop up, they will warrant a perceptible update.
Maintaining the late designer's pension for dark and even Gothic style, the Alexander McQueen Leather-Sleeved Sweatshirt boasts a black cotton body with degradé raglan sleeves that intriguingly blend back to cotton-jersey. Simultaneously understated and standout, the unconventional sweater is perfect for urban settings during the colder fall and winter season.
