3. The “Leather-on-Leather” Edge
Leather—or high-quality vegan alternatives—adds an immediate “cool factor” to any outfit. It brings texture, weight, and a bit of rock-and-roll edge that fits perfectly into the darker, moodier ambiance of most cocktail bars.
How to Make
Tuck a leather or faux-leather skirt into a slightly loose, tucked-in silk or cotton-poplin blouse. The juxtaposition of the structured, heavy leather and the soft, breezy shirt creates a perfect balance. Pair with knee-high boots for a dramatic finish. This look is incredibly resilient and easy to style for those nights when you want to look tough but feel feminine.
Things Needed
- Faux-leather skirt
- Silk or cotton-poplin blouse
- Knee-high boots
