TREND SPY: RIDE OR DIE CHIC







If you were ever too scared before, now is the time to unleash your inner ruffian.  Leather is on the scene in so many cool styles with soooo many scandalous ways to wear it and functional things to wear it with!  Pile on the studs, grommets, chains and charms- Be slouchy or architectural with regard to cut, the option is yours.  Get into some detailed leggings: the "wet" ones are hot to death, so are the kind that have an imitation denim finish.  Evoke a dominatrix in thigh high boots, or chic college student with a loose-fitting ruffled or rugby cardigan sweater.  Get a versatile assortment of basics; white gray black v neck tees, some X-Long ribbed tanks and a very bold colorful bag or pump or something overly-embellished for  some funk.  If you do "pleather" pick something that has a nice feel and is similar in cut to the way real leather is.  Stay away from very stiff of very shiny fabrics-real leather-especially calf-skin (my favorite) is actually pretty lackluster.  T-BIRD TIL I DIE!
