16. The Edgy Leather Moto Vest and Flowing Silk Midi Skirt
Vests are a fantastic layering tool for adding depth and interest to an outfit without the bulk of full sleeves. For an edgy, rock-and-roll-inspired street style look, start with an oversized black leather motorcycle vest, complete with silver zippers, snaps, and a belted waist. This piece adds instant attitude and a tough, masculine structure to your upper half.
Softener the look by pairing the tough leather vest with a flowing, bias-cut black silk or satin midi skirt. The way the silk drapes and moves around your legs contrasts beautifully with the stiff, heavy leather of the vest, creating a captivating mix of textures and moods. Wear a simple black ribbed tank top underneath the vest, and style with chunky black leather lace-up boots and a silver chain necklace to tie the look together.
