When you think of leather, what comes to mind? Probably either the interior of a car or that annoying couch in your living room you sometimes fall asleep on and your face sticks to. Ok, so neither of those sound appealing (and chances are your mind probably went towards something clothing related based on the fact that you’re reading this article), so let’s shift our focus to leather jackets.
Leather jackets have an undeniable connection to nightlife, but who said you have to save them for when the sun sets? This week’s Fashionista showed us how to bang out a leather look that’s suitable for the day and gives a little bit of a rocker flare.
How did she do it? The key here is that she paired her jacket with some casual, high-top Chuck Taylor sneakers. Perfect for running around campus, these sneaks are the ultimate necessity in crafting a daytime outfit that not only rocks (and is rocker-esque) but practical. Let’s be honest, the black bootie style heels and leather jacket combination is classic…but how realistic is that for daywear for a college student?
That being said, this Fashionista showed that it IS possible to still wear your favorite leather jacket during the day and the secret to nailing this look is all about the shoe choice. Your fave leather piece deserves to be seen by everyone on campus, so take this advice and don’t be afraid to dust it off for more than just nightwear.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “When in doubt, I always turn to my Converse. I love the idea of a leather jacket but sometimes the jacket and booties combo can be too much. Pairing it with my Converse is a little less in your face and a little more me.”
