They say that opposites attract. Pairing the masculine with the feminine, edgy and soft, tough and sweet. Mixing pieces from different seasons is a great way to transition from summer to fall. Cue leather and lace.
A chic leather top or cool jacket have become staples in our cold-weather wardrobes. On one hand, they are perfect for layering and making any outfit with jeans or a lace skirt way more badass. On the other hand, lace pieces like blouses, pencil skirts, and dresses serve to sweeten things up.
Celebrity Inspiration

Tina Lee {fashion and travel blogger, Of Leather and Lace blog} suggests this following advice, “Whenever I have a loose top, I always pair it with a tight bottom. The leather balances out the femininity of the lace and gives the outfit a bit of an edge. You can wear this look to a dinner, a party or even to work (maybe wear a cami underneath though so your bra isn’t showing.”
How do you style leather and lace? If you’re not into wearing real leather, then try wearing faux leather. You can also read this post about how to style faux leather pants for Fall.
