The edgy fabric has been soaking up the spotlight for some time now and is universally loved, but it's mainly appeared in more soft and feminine silhouettes in recent years. Well, the real deal is back and harder than ever with the return of heavy-duty leather. Paris Fashion Week designers are reviving the traditional motorcycle jacket, distressed leather materials, and even leather dresses and trench coats. Think a Chrome Hearts approach to fashion.
When cargo pants meet heavy-duty leather, it's love at first sight.
The It girls already have this one in their closets.

The fall/winter take on this trend is the micro shorts. Put your legs on display in a whole new way by taking a break from the Bermuda shorts that have been trending for quite some time and trying out short shorts. Style it just like the runways by pairing it with a pair of thigh-high boots or socks.
Tweed suit sets dominated the runway, so you can't go wrong with this look.

I am proud of myself for predicting this one—the runways really backed me up here. Adding a tie as a finishing touch to any outfit is such a chic way of completing the look. We went from prep school chic to being the CEO of the company. I’m all about that.
The girly girls can still pull this trend off by choosing something that feels pretty and floral.

All of the elements of motocross riders' gear have found their way onto the runway. Think added padding, color blocking, and more. You’ll also find retro sports elements like logos, shapes, and worn-out sneakers. Basically, we’re introducing the new athleisure here.
If you really want to take on this trend, the New Balance x Staud collab will be a great starting point.
Everyone could benefit from having a sneaker like this in their collection.

Each look you see above is elevated to a whole other level thanks to the addition of the colorful tights. It's an easy way to make an all-black look feel not so boring or add even more of a statement to that hot-pink dress you've been dying to wear.

So as you might assume, we are instantly all over this anti-trend trend. You won't regret spending a little extra in this category because you'll have these pieces for life. And for the record, you can never have too many white tanks.
I think this is the chicest black dress I've ever worn.

Adding a belt makes any coat feel like even more of a fashion statement. While attending New York Fashion Week this season, I wore an oversize men's coat with a statement belt and achieved this look so easily. It made a piece that many other people have feel different so I'll definitely be doing it again with the other outerwear in my closet.
This is the belt I wore and it looks so good on top of any coat.
