Two of this season’s fashion trends that are most versatile and are to last you many years are laces and leathers. These two materials are timeless. I remember my mother bought me a knee length white lace skirt when I was in high-school, that was 10 years ago, and I still have it in my closet though its minis on me already. The leather jacket the guy’s wearing he said was found from his dad’s pile of old clothes.
In the 17th and 18th century, lace was a sign of prestige and wealth. It was among the most valued possessions and only rich patrons could have. Leather, on the other hand, is very durable and versatile material making warm feeling in the winter and cool in the summer. Heavy leather shirts were then used by Roman soldiers as protective armours.
Today, lace design clothes and leathers are very much available and can be worn in different occasions.
For the black mini lacey skirt, you may match it with brightly colored opaques and cover up with black blazer to have a corporate look. Take off the blazer and now you’re ready for a date or tea time with bestfriend. If you’re in party mood, pair it with sexy black-ish top and complete the look with a black peep-toe heel. As lace provides the main fabrics of an outfit rather just edging or fringing, be careful not to kill the look with fussy accessories, just wear sleek shoes and plain purses.
For the leather jacket, pair it with a simple or even just plain colored shirt, a sneaker or a leather shoe to match. Comfortable denim pants would be the best. Choose an oversized sunglass, studded belt or chains to express a cool/rockstar look.
If you already have a lace dress hanging in your wardrobe, you can create an up-to-the-minute look by throwing on one of this season’s trendy biker jackets. See that lace and leather can even just go well together!
