While the question here may not be whether you want to look badass or sexy, a girl has got to stop in front of her closet door and ask herself which texture to adopt as her signature for hot summer nightlife and, hell, days in the office too: leather or lace? Lace is a timeless symbol of femininity (and could translate as powder-puff pretty or rock ’n’ roll chic), but leather is a powerful textile that blends well with many others (denim workshirts and sheer T-shirts, for instance). So we want to know: Between these two show-stoppers, will you choose denim or lace this season?
