The Leather Lowdown:
Naughty not Nice: For the tough as nails, steel toe boot wearing, don't mess with me type of look; go for a bomber style jacket like Alexander McQueen's shearling biker jacket or Theory's nyree leather bomber. These tougher jackets will look great with something as simple as a great fitting pair of jeans or add some edge by pairing it with a feminine skirt or dress.
Classic Leather Looks: Leather jackets can be a piece that you hold on to for years and years. The key to having a leather jacket that will weather the years is to get one in a classic cut. The always classic Michael Kors makes a great double-breasted leather jacket that is sure to look polished and classic no matter what you wear it with.
Girly Girl Leather: Think you are too 'girly' to pull off a leather jacket? Wrong, so wrong. Diane von Fursteneberg designed a great little leather jacket that is adorned with a ruffled detail to give very feminine appeal.
Walk on the Wild Side: A girl in a leather jacket is almost always going to come off as a little 'wild' but if you truly are a wild child, you need more. The more you need is a fur collar detail which screams you mean business! Fashion's king of the wild,
Thomas Wylde designs an awesome fur trimmed jacket for the wild girls out there.
Casual Cutie: For all of the casual girls out there that still like to look like a million bucks, try a Mike & Chris leather jacket. That's right
Mike & Chris can go beyond a regular sweat shirt and have tapped into the leather world.
Alpinestars has been dressing moto and race car drivers for years but dressing Hollywood's hottest starlets? Oh yes. It's happening. Their new line, which they call a cross between "James Dean and Cali surfer," offers a mix of biker inspired geared that has young celebs (think Blake Lively and Kirsten Dunst) on the verge of joining Hells Angels. Okay maybe not joining Hells Angels exactly. More like borrowing some of their leather and studded style.
OK. We get it. You all love Ed Banger Records and their impossibly cool DJs. And so do we. Luckily, this isn't an unrequited love. No, they have a crush on us too. And like any good boo, they want to give us a few gifts, well, sort of.
