How to Style // The Leather Tee

The leather tee

If you've done any fall shopping recently (either in person or online), you've probably seen the leather-love happening all over the place.  Once appropriate only in certain occasions, it's clearly not just for sexy date-nights, rock & roll or even Halloween costumes anymore. :)

The other day I asked for style queries on twitter (often the best way to snag my attention for quick style advice!), and was surprised by the amount of people who asked for help working a bit of leather into their everyday lives - Great question!

You'll find my styling ideas, plus some great shopping suggestions for all budgets below, and I'd love to hear which look is your favorite!!!

I came across this adorable paneled leather top soon after I started thinking about the task at hand, and thought it would be fun to try and style up a couple of outfits around a versatile piece while showcasing a trend that appears to be a bit intimidating to some.

For work // Add chic trousers with a sleek, long line, 

elegant heels and a feminine bag and jewelry.

Shop: Wide-leg trousers, Pointed-toe heels, Scalloped-edge tote, 

Collar necklace, Faceted watch, Triangle stud earrings, Geometric scarf

For weekend //  Up the edginess with 

distressed denim, animal print & a chic hat.

A few sophisticated touches like gold jewelry 

and a quilted clutch add balance.

Shop: Distressed boyfriend jeans, Snakey platform bootie, Quilted olive clutch,  

Black fedora hat , Chunky chain link bracelet, Triangle earrings, Ivory round sunglasses

For whimsy // Quirky footwear, playful accessories 

and a tomboyish backpack paired with 

a more ladylike look of a full skirt and red lips.

Shop: Burgundy print skirt, Hi-top wedge tennies, Backpack, 

Cat ears ring, Heart disc long necklace, Gold cat-eye sunnies, Lipstick
