Adding cream lace and natural feathers softens the black leather and creates a chic feminine style appropriate for daytime style. Add a pair of opaque or sheer black tights to wear this look throughout the fall and winter. Another look that proves multiple textures make the look high end without the high end prices. Pair this outfit with a metallic manicure and a long fishtail braid for a sweet romantic style that still incorporates the edge of leather.

Old boots can get a new life when paired with the right pieces.

3) Classic With Tweed

A Chanel-inspired tweed jacket with body shaping seams adds a traditional pattern that tones down the modern leather. A necklace with bling and gunmetal spiked heels add statement making elements that create a bold signature style. Another plus is this look can go from day to night just by taking off the tweed jacket.

Spiked nude pumps add a leg-lengthening impact.
