The Look: Zippers
Leggings are everywhere this season, but the zippered ankle details on this pair -- spotted in different shades on Paris Hilton and Hilary Duff stand out from the crowd with plenty of attitude. Intimidated by the bright hue? They also come in black. LNA Zipper Leggings, $108, www.lisakline.com

The Look: Biker
We love the timeless cut of a classic motorcycle jacket, but a heavy leather style can be hard to pull off. That's why we're crazy about this cotton-spandex version it's fitted and soft, and a perfect substitute for a casual blazer. Mink Punk Slippery Biker Jacket, $112, www.ubanoutfitters.com

The Look: Latex
Latex leggings were a big trend last season, but they're admittedly a hard look for the average woman to embrace. Luckily, we're seeing latex in more wearable shapes this fall, like these rock-inspired trousers. If you've got the figure, go for a t-shirt, or cover up a bit more with a long, soft sweater.
