Leather & Mesh

Jun 11, 2013 By Jessie in Health & Fitness, Personal style 2 Comments

What started out innocently as a pair of navy blue New Balance 574′s over a year ago has developed into a fully fledged love (perhaps obsession) for workout gear. Technically these could be normal shorts, but with the double mesh layers and leather racing stripe, I knew they were destined for the gym.

I know I’m not the only one. Two years ago very few of my friends would have owned exercise gear, or had multiple pairs of Nikes sitting by the front door. Now it’s a different story. Not that I’m complaining; a little exercise can do both the mind and body so much good, and if it takes little workout gear to get me in the mood, I’m all for it. I wear these shorts with my Nike crop top and Roshe Runs; I’m all about the black and white combos.

Shop Charlotte’s look: Burberry floppy leather hat, Burberry cropped trench, Burberry flared jeans (alternative here), Zara heels and Givenchy clutch

The equally sweet and stylish Charlotte of Fashion Guitar looking super cool in this navy and tan Burberry look. Big fan of the denim flares and tan leather hat; it’s a really wearable look for almost head-to-toe Burberry. Of course their embellished runway pieces and traditional trenches are amazing, but when it comes to looking effortlessly stylish, I always feel casual-cool wins out over more polished styles.

Shop Linda’s look: Sportmax laser cut leather coat (alternative here) and dress (alternative here) and silver boots

Sportmax laser cut leather is pretty damn amazing – so clean, minimal and perfectly formed. And Linda’s double dose only makes the whole look that much more stark and slick. Although I have to say it’s her ice blonde hair which makes this; it’s the perfect example of hair transforming a look. Linda is one half of the Lifestyle Hunter duo, you can check out their blog here.

Shop Tamu’s look: Blue beanie, Kenzo red leopard bomber (alternative here), slogan tee here and here and tartan trousers here and here

Tamu of All The Pretty Birds mixing prints and patterns like a true master; it’s all about finding the right balance and making the look your own. And of course a healthy dose of tartan and leopard print doesn’t hurt either. Topped off with a super sweet smile and a beautifully tied silk scarf.
