L Is For Love, Life, And A Little Bit of Leather
Written on October 30, 2011 by Hunter Honey
The leaves are starting to change, the nights are slowly getting longer, and the summer dresses are reluctantly being put away…Well, not if I can help it that is.
Fall is a lovely time of year where we can all bond through our chunky sweaters and perpetually runny noses, but for most it signals the end of your cute dresses and the start of your Eskimo parkas.
…But it doesn’t have to be. There are a lot of cute styles that you can use to transition your favorite dresses well into the fall season! I could go on here about leggings and scarves, but the main wardrobe option that I want to focus on is the leather jacket.
And I know what you’re thinking.
“But I don’t own a Harley Davidson.”
“I like ‘West Side Story’ and all, but I don’t actually want to be confused for a dancing and/or snapping gang member…”
“I don’t get the Harley Davidson comment up there, is he like George Clooney? ‘Cause I wouldn’t mind owning one then.”
Let me ease your worries now. The leather jacket is one of the most versatile and chic items you can buy; not only does is add an extra spice to any dress you pair it with, but the leather jacket also will keep you warm as you go strutting down the street. It adds a beautiful contrast to the femininity of the summer dress with its masculine and edgy form. Check out how these models wear it:
Really, not only does the jacket go with most anything you can throw at it, but, just like your favorite pair of oversized, celebrity sunglasses, it also just makes you look cooler.
I’ve had the same leather jacket for two years now, and it never fails to get compliments. Because of this jacket’s durability though, I can’t stress enough how important it is to go the extra mile and find your perfect fit; trust me, this will be a go-to accessory for years to come. I personally found my jacket at Urban Outfitters, and, while granted my bank account took a bit of a blow at the $70 price tag, I found the jacket to be extraordinarily well-made, warm, flattering, and, best yet, not actually made of leather meaning that PETA won’t attack me on sight.
So, all in all, let it be known that the fall season doesn’t have to be a war between looking cute and avoiding frostbite, we can indeed have both — and look pretty darn good doing it.
