Men with style- leather jacket

Dear Guys,

This is a timeless item that I am sure you all have it in your closet!

The leather jackets are still the same but you can style them in a very different way even if it’s that bad boy motorcycle style jacket that you thought is only works riding the… motorcycle.

So, here are the classics-(if you have them in your closet don’t you dare to give them away!)

The bomber jacket- remember James Dean and wear it as he used to- just jeans and a withe t-shirt.

The motorcycle jacket- do you remember Marlon Brando playing “The wild one” and wearing the Schott Perfecto? no need to say more- you can wear it exactly like that.

The field jacket- with four pockets in the front, used to be worn in the Vietnam war-Indiana’s Jones jacket!

The classic jacket-slim fitting silhouette with zip closure- casual wearing- jeans or casual pants with shirt for a polished look.

It may seem so boho but the fringe bags are not what you think!

Gucci Nouveau bags

I had a big crush few days ago when i saw this PS 1 Proenza Schouler

Proenza-Schouler-Fringe-PS1-Bag

– perfect color and style for a lovely casual autumn day!

And checking the latest designer collections I realized that they are indeed a very inspired reinterpretation of a popular style that our moms used to wear in the 60’s-70’s.

The fringes are back in our lives with unexpected design- like the Saint Laurent studded bucket bag

and the perfect Valentino Griffin clutch!

…or as an accessory to IT bags like PS1 Proenza Schouler, Bottega Veneta, Gucci Bamboo, Chanel flap bag

Chanel-Sueded-Leather-Fringe-Flap-Bag

To understand how versatile they are-you will have no problem pairing a fringed clutch with a very sophisticated evening gown or a big fringed bag with an office look, and don’t worry-you wont look hippie at all! (only if you intend to)
