As people of the fashion world, we know that fashion is anything but one-dimensional. Nothing is more exciting than adding some textures to the mix this summer. From studs and spikes to feathers and fur, we have a lot to play with creatively. This Fashionista sports leather shorts (lightweight leather is great for summer), a zipper detailed white tee, and leather strapped woven sandals. Leather isn’t just for rough and tough bikers anymore! So, if you’re not going for the biker-chic look, it’s all about balancing out your edgier garment with either feminine or basic pieces to not overwhelm your ensemble.

CollegeFashionista: What are you wearing and where is it from?
Gabriela Fonzi: My leather shorts are Juicy Couture and my shirt is from Marshalls.
CF: What’s your favorite accessory?
GF: Earrings! I feel naked without them.
CF: Where do you like to shop?
GF: Marshalls and Kohl’s. They’re both always in season and affordable.
CF: What’s one thing you couldn’t leave the house without?
GF: Lipgloss or ChapStick, but my cross-body bag has everything in it and it’s not only stylish, but also convenient for going anywhere.
CF: What’s a trend you think will never go out of style?
GF: The high-waisted trend. It was popular back in the day and it’s popular now. I didn’t think it would work for me, but it makes everyone look longer.
CF: How do you organize your closet?
GF: I organize by season; I don’t have a lot of space.
