In suburbia, life is not always shorts and T-shirts on a sunny summer day. Sometimes, you are hit with a windy, chilly day that threatens to (literally) rain on your parade, and in an even more unfortunate circumstance, that day can turn into a whole week. Despite all of this, a Fashionista/o cannot be phased so easily, and in occasions where the sun goes away and the clouds are here to stay, let there be leather.
This Fashionista took the idea of leather and ran with it. From head to toe, every detail in this look highlights a leathery element. The two-toned, cropped leather jacket and black leather pants combination is a grunge look many people see in the winter, but with just the right weather this look can be pulled off during any season. A pair of red leather boots is a versatile shoe that goes great with nearly any outfit, and by adding them to the mix, this Fashionista proves that nothing go better with leather…than more leather. The look is tied together with a simple white T-shirt, believed to be a staple in any wardrobe, and a trendy, choker-style silver body chain that adds a little bit of a flashy element to an outfit that is otherwise relatively matte in color.
The final addition to this look is none other than a leather satchel handbag, which just goes to show that there’s no such thing as too much when it comes to leather, this Fashionista looks great!
How To: If you’re looking to spice up your wardrobe with a leather-centric look, have no fear and be confident; adding even a simple leather jacket to your outfit will put you amongst the greats of leather wearing, including Michael Jackson, Joan Jett, Madonna and not to mention, yours truly. If you begin to feel a little more adventurous take the route of this Fashionista and make your whole look the star of the show. Just one word to the wise: if you anticipate a rainy day or two, a quick waterproofing of your new duds will help the longevity of your clothing or shoes, which will allow you to be a trendsetter for years to come.
