Versatile and chic, a faux leather skirt or a spiked jacket are definitely must-haves in everyone’s wardrobe. Go for a girly look by opting for a mini faux leather skirt. Pair with a simple charm necklace for an added bit of flair. When you’re feeling stuck in a rut with your day to day looks, look towards the past for a little pin up inspiration.
Cali-based blogger, Miss Vintage Living, shows us all how it’s done, sporting a midi pleather skirt with a lace crop top. Posing by a pop art mural, this retro-chic look is totally on point. Experiment with proportion and contrast fluttery blouses and crop tops with a long line skirt, like a midi length pencil skirt or an a-line skirt with pleats. You’ll definitely stand out with this mega dose of retro glam!
Feeling a little rebellious? Add some spikes to your favorite pieces, like an oversized faux leather motorcycle jacket and show off your devil-may-care attitude. Pair with a plaid skirt and lace up boots for a complete punk-inspired look. With unpredictable weather upon us, layer over a flirty dress for a rocker vibe. Accessorize with plenty of studded bracelets, layered necklaces and rings for instant street style cred.
Stray from the norm with a bold latex look. Make your own version of an iconic superhero character, and give it a unique take by choosing latex fabric. Catwoman, Black Widow, and Harley Quinn are easily recognizable costumes, but when they’re revamped with sleek latex extras, they’re not to be missed.
In the fun and colorful cosplay world, the lines between gender are often blurred. Get like the boys by making a playful Deadpool or Captain America cosplay. In need of a more delicate pick? Go for a Sailor Moon costume, complete with an oversized bow and a shiny latex sheen. Get ready to round up your squad, you’ll look like you’re straight from the pages of a comic book or manga series with a glam latex cosplay.
