Who doesn’t love a little bit of leather? Leather, especially black leather, is edgy and just screams rock chic. The good news is that you don’t have to be a rocker to rock a leather vest. It is one of the best layering pieces this season. While basic long sleeves are great for keeping you warm, you wouldn’t call them cool. Now a leather vest, well that speaks for itself. This Fashionista pairs her black leather vest with a denim shirt, black skinny jeans and black ballet flats. Her outfit is stylish, and the addition of her leather vest really completes the whole ensemble. Take a look at this leather vest from Topshop. The asymmetric zipper is reminiscent of a motorcycle jacket and would look amazing over anything. Another great vest from Topshop is this one. Unlike other leather vests, it has jersey panels on the side and a beautiful waterfall collar. Drapey collars add a chic and feminine touch to this Trina Turk motorcycle-inspired vest. Leather vests add edge to even a plain white T-shirt and look amazing over a more feminine top, as well. A little leather vest goes with just about everything – even your favorite little black dress.
Hint: Leather vests can be on the pricey side, so you can always look for a faux leather one. Or, shop around in vintage stores. Leather vests have never gone away – while the trend may have faded, know that as long as there are rockers, there will be leather vests for you to rock.
