Fashion · Style

Do you look in the closet and yawn before pulling out yet another boring outfit? Spice up your wardrobe with a leather jacket or leather gilet. Flattering jackets and blazers made of supple leather can easily dress up jeans and T-shirts, dresses and work attire. This cutoff black and grey leather vest, with asymmetrical zipper from TopShop, is guaranteed to bring a rocker chic edge to any outfit. The construction of this piece is incredibly innovative, including rectangular and rounded paneling, equipped with a high collared equestrian-gone-bad feeling. In fact, it almost alludes somewhat of a Gothic military design. The warm heather gray is definitely a plus with this leather gilet by UNIQUE, because by adding a warmer color to the overall stark black palette opens up a plethora of other mix-and-match opportunities. Jump start your jeans ensemble with this jacket, with grey or light blue skinny jeans, a plain white T-shirt and either flats or heels for a classic look you can wear anywhere. Pearl earrings and a few bangles will add feminine touches to this overall tough look. A personal favorite way to rock this rocker chic gilet, is to add some major contrast by pairing it with a super feminine, floral print dress. Think good girl meets bad girl all in one. Throw on some patent heels, and you are literally a walking bombshell with that girl next door innocence. This jacket is so versatile, literally no matter what you choose to make of this piece, it will always work. Welcome to the ultimate throw-on, tough-gal, chic gilet-- a best friend that you simply can’t imagine your fashionable life without.
