STYLE ADVICE: Lavish in Leather

January 27th, 2017 at 2:00am

Hey Fashionistos/as! The leather trend is one of my favorites because it comes back time and time again. There are so many ways you can style a leather jacket. It can either look really classic or edgy, depending on the details of the jacket and your accessories. Leather jackets aren’t just for bikers, they are a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe.

Today’s Fashionisto is sporting a classic black leather moto jacket. This jacket has a vintage feel to it reminiscent of the 1950s. The beauty in the jacket is the worn look that comes with the aging process of leather. Every crease adds character and interest. That is what gives leather jackets a unique quality, so no two ever look the same. Instead of styling this jacket with a more rocker vibe, this Fashionisto keeps his look dressy. He looks dapper in a white button down which he has left untucked, giving the look a more laid back feel. His black dress pants are loose fitting and cuffed adding a little edge. This look has been paired with patent leather wing tipped shoes, complementing the jacket. What really pulls this look together is his black wayfarer glasses. This adds a touch of smart sophistication to the outfit. His look is just the right amount of dressy and edgy.

There are so many ways to switch up this look for any occasion. A plain white tee and converse would make this the perfect casual look to go to a concert. You could also tuck the white shirt into a slim fitting pair of trousers with loafers and the outfit becomes more formal; perfect for a date night out. You can’t go wrong with a leather jacket because it is the most versatile jacket you’ll ever have!
