As a busy mom, there are times when all you want is the comfort of denim—jeans, a jacket—but you crave the full-on glam or something a bit cooler. If you’re looking for leather, this is going to be the season to indulge. But if you don’t want to worry about the expense, care and heat that can come with wearing suede and leather, coated denim may be your answer. Typically created using a process that bonds a wax to the denim fibers, coated denim is just as forgiving and flexible as your favorite jeans but gives off a cool leather vibe. In all price-points and in all cuts, it’s really not hard to find a style you love that looks fabulous on your figure.
