Finer Things is a photo series with a playful approach to elusive, glamorous fashion items we’re fixated on right now.

A leather coat in the summer? Sure, but make it breathable. Not known for subtle design, Fendi suggests one can surely sport leather in the heat with this new not-so-simple coat. The lattice-like design of contrasting pale pink and hunter green leather creates a 3-D effect, evoking chain links or a sporty mesh net. Memorable for its intricate design, it’s the right amount of coat for the hot season and can easily be layered into fall wardrobes.
