4 Leather And Lace Outfits That Aren't Too "Material Girl"
The leather-and-lace combination has always had certain connotations (some more savory than others). But, we insist it's possible to wear these two classic, yet of-the-moment trends in tandem, without looking like Vivian Ward. And, to prove it, we've gone ahead and put together a quartet of ensembles that pump up the luxe texture while turning down the bawdy factor.

From an office-appropriate, leather skirt to a delicate lace dress that doesn't scream summer, these looks are practical, unexpected, and, okay, just sexy enough to wear on a date, too. These four must-try, leather-and-lace outfits will have them stopping and staring for all the right reasons outfit1


Lots of lace + chunky leather
A full lace dress can seem limiting in its almost-sugary sweetness. But don't let that throw you. Funk it up with an oversized leather vest (we're obsessed with this one!) and sneakers for a decidedly femin-edgy vibe.
