Danier's spring collection includes casual takes on the men's essential vest and other wardrobe must-haves

Danier’s spring collection is full of happy surprises: you’ve never seen a leather collection that is this versatile, edgy, and forward-thinking.

With careful artistic details such as fringes, ruffles, and mixed fibers, Danier’s collection for spring is thoughtful, easy to rework to dress up or down, and offers us a spring break vacation. Something about the freshness of spring has transformed the label as an accessories and jacket destination whether you’re looking for spring’s classic faves with a Parisian-inspired twist or unexpected garments such as suede or leather shorts- not your Mom’s idea of leather goods. And just when you thought you’d seen it all in leather- well, Danier pulls out of the hat a leather cardi (yes! really- they made one!). Think of it as designer Danier.

With careful colour palette choices in yellows, purples, and blues, and playing with sheer printed scarves to accompany the classic biker jacket or your prim cut-out blazer, we have every reason to wish for a speedy winter so that we can welcome this fun and art-inspired collection. The pieces are all priced under $499, which is extremely reasonable for quality tailored leather garments. You’ll be impressed with the attention to shaping and body-accent or slimming details in the coats and jackets, as well as the careful mixing of knits with leather for a sleeker silhouette. Watch out for the studded accessories: we love the men’s belt with barely-poking studs and it’s just the kind of thing we can see ourselves ‘borrowing’.

Also on our wanted list: the leather hoodie (pictured below), the brown leather ruffled cropped blazer (shown at bottom), and the simple fold-over messenger bag (his and hers.)

Watch out, Danier, we’re coming!
