The Look For Less: Paige Denim Black Label Skinny Leather Pants

FabSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0700

It takes a while to warm up to leather pants because of their motorcycle-biker connotation, but surprisingly, a lot of you would wear them. My philosophy is less biker, more rocker, with a feminine twist. I have a pair of liquid leggings, but pants are cool because you can wear them with more cropped tops. These Paige Denim Black Label Skinny Leather Pants ($398) would be heavenly with an airy ivory chiffon blouse and a loose cardigan. But since I don't need real leather, I found a faux pair that's equally chic and not as pricey.

Not many people dare to wear leather, but gogosushi does. Her lush leather-like pants are a fun way to spice up daywear. I like how she styled them with a long cardi and cozy beret for an effortless, casual look. I'm inspired.

Here's what she has on:
Beret: Dotti
Cardigan: Unknown
Shirt: Bardot
Pants: Chiara Fashions

The Look For Less: Paige Denim Hyde Park Skinny Leather Pant

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 08:00:22 -0800

Ever since I saw Angelina Jolie in leather pants, I've been wanting a pair of my own. After hours of perusing, I found these Paige Denim Hyde Park Skinny Leather Pants ($595). The straight-leg cut is ideal for my shape and I like the nondescript detailing. Alas, leather is expensive and I can't fathom spending this much on such a trendy piece.

Thank goodness for faux! It's much cheaper and animal-friendly. These Express Faux Leather Pants ($50) are awesome. They have the same cut and simple styling as Paige's without the hefty price tag. Is it just me, or is Express coming back on top? I'm just sayin'.

Would You Wear Leather Pants?

Sticky, hot Miami weather wasn't going to stop AngelaChristin from rocking leather pants - well sort of. These hot glazed jeans are the perfect substitute and give her the same leather look without sacrificing an ounce of style - pure genius.

Here's what she has on:

Jeans: Seven for All Mankind
Tank: Old Navy

Congrats to AngelaChristin!

Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:00:11 -0700

Sarah Jessica Parker has been pretty low-key lately, but when she comes around, she does so with a big (and pink) bang! The actress attended NYC's premiere of Smart People looking ever the rock 'n roller in her tighter than tight leather leggings. To avoid looking too masculine, SJP chose a hot pink cropped Jil Sander jacket with Carrie Bradshaw's signature flower brooch. This pink lady has guts for incorporating so many colors and prints; we can definitely learn a thing or two from her!

Jocelyn Hot Pink Jacket ($414)	Vince Satin Banded Top ($145)
American Apparel Lame High-Waisted Legging ($44)	AZ Collection Multicolor Swarovski Crystal Flower Brooch ($198)
REPORT SIGNATURE Alix in Silver ($176)	Victoria's Secret Leopard clutch ($48)	Nadri Pave Ball Stud Earrings ($50)

Trend Alert: Rockin' and Rollin'

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Maybe Angelina was onto something when she whipped out her Versace black leather pants in November. Though I've always felt no one wears leather pants better than Slash from Guns n' Roses, these ladies are rockin' and rollin'. One thing is for sure: You have to be confident to pull off leathery, liquidy pants. Vanessa Paradis (left) is married to Johnny Depp so enough said, Ashley Olsen is Ashley Olsen so she's happy as a clam, and Portia de Rossi is partners with the funny and lovely Ellen DeGeneres. Go on confident girls (all of you!) and slip into something a bit more uncomfortable.

Modern Slim Leather Pant - $399.00	Shiny High-Waist Legging - $49.00
Gold Sign - Misfit Leather Jean (Black) - $791.00	Notify Iberide Jean - $271.00
Kova & T Black Latex Leggings - $113.00	7 For All Mankind Ginger Treated Jean - $179.00
Shape fx® Leather Control Pants - $99.00	Goldsign Leather Low-Rise Pants - $790.00
7 For All Mankind Roxanne Jean - $179.00

Banana Republic's Sporty Sleek Spring '10 Collection

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Banana Republic is giving me something to look forward to come Spring. Honing in its love for polished sportswear, the retailer sent models down the runway in a fresh collection of denim, chambray shirts, silk tops, moto jackets, refined shorts, classic trenches, and slick chinos. "We’re still a work brand, but we want to have great weekend and going-out clothes, too," said Banana Republic's president, Jack Calhoun. And that they did providing us with neutral-tailored separates along with colorful, silky splashes. I especially love this seafoam silk tunic dress - so luxuriously simple.

While shorts and skirts dominated the runway, cropped pants also played a key role in the storyline. Clean-cut chinos and jeans were cut right above the ankle for a refreshing, chic look. On the accessories front, I adored the straw fedoras and leather-mule sandals. Affordable and amazing - just the way I like it.

The Look For Less: Free People Cable Pullover Sweater

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Nothing excites me more than Fall-worthy, cozy, oversize cable knit sweaters. But have you noticed there are way too many dorky styles out there? They make the task of finding the perfect one a drag. Luckily, I just stumbled upon this Free People Cable Pullover Sweater ($108). I'm tickled by the varying-sized braids and dolman sleeves. The price isn't ludicrous, but I found one that's equally cozy and less expensive. Let's take a lookie . . .

To see the look for less, read more.

This Ecote Crop Cable Dolman Sweater ($48) may not be made out of wool, but it's still cozy and cute. It also has different-sized braids and dolman sleeves, and the color is just right. Throw it on over a pair of skinny leather pants and cool boots to counteract the chunkiness.
