No, I’m not talking about some goth attack! Lace, leather, and latex bottoms are totally going to be the skinny jeans of the fall. While designers like Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano have used the materials in both their womenswear, menswear, and couture collections in the past few seasons (for Chanel and Dior, respectively), it wasn’t ’till recently that lace, latex, and leather leggings and skirts invaded the streets of LA and NYC. Leading the pack is Kova & T (check out the uber stylish Rachel Bilson at a Kova & T Cocktail Party at Chateau Marmont in LA above!). These look like they would be hard to pull-off, but latex is actually great for keeping in any bulges! I love these bottoms for their versatility. I’ve been wearing the latex and lace (how New Wave 80s/Madonna..love it!), with loose-fitting white tees and sky-high pumps, and it’s totally casual but oh-so-edgy-chic! Though it does get a little hot in the latex….perhaps I can suggest waiting till the weather cools off before trying these-out). Check out some of my fave Kova & T pieces below!
Kova & T Lace Leggings, $110 — Love these but they’re somewhat sheer…More after the jump!
Kova & T Latex Leggings, $110 — These are the best sellers I’ve been seeing all around town.
