STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Leather in our Grunge

We have seen the leather jacket redefined many times by many designers. No matter what other new trend appears on the shelves of stores, the leather jacket trend never seems to go away. Now, the real question is why has this piece of clothing been on trend for so long?

The answer is simple. The leather jacket makes any outfit grunge and edgy—not to mention fashionable as well. It’s perfect for when you are too lazy to put much thought in your outfit, but want to look stylish as well! This Fashionista’s ensemble is a perfect example of effortless and grunge. With her tennis shoes and plain forest green shirt, she makes this outfit simple. However, with her leather jacket, it instantly makes the outfit grunge, edgy and fashionable.

With the Fashionista’s accessories, she decided to keep it to a minimum with just a silver Marc Jacobs watch. This watch helps bring out the leather jacket with its silver color since it matches the silver buttons and zippers the jacket has!

If you want the leather jacket to be the sole focus of your outfit, it’s best to keep the accessories to a minimum. Also, keep in mind the color of the rest of your ensemble! You don’t want to wear anything bright because it distracts from your leather jacket, so it’s best if you stick with cool and dark colors.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: “Don’t let the warm summer weather stop you from wearing a leather jacket. It’s stylish and comfortable. And you can always take it off and wear it around your waist if it gets too hot!”
