Fabworthy: Mossimo Faux Leather Biker Jacket

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:00:08 PDT

Who's in the market for a leather jacket? If you've done your research, you know that even a basic leather jacket can seriously break the bank. And I refuse to fork over a thousand bucks for one.

I currently have three leather jackets lined up for Fall. To my surprise, my Gray Faux Leather Biker Jacket by Mossimo ($35, left) is by far my favorite. The product shot doesn't do justice to its buttery texture. I loved it so much, I even got it in black. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a bit loose-fitting, but for that price, I found a solution. I simply rolled them up a few times for a more laid-back look. I give it two leathery thumbs up.

The Look For Less: Mike & Chris Dusted Bronze Leather Jacket

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:00:08 PDT

I've been drooling over Mike & Chris leather jackets for quite a while, but the duo's latest design has me in a daze. This Mike & Chris Bronze Leather Jacket ($885) is très chic.

Metallic? Check. Leather? Check. I really need this awesome jacket but yikes! The price tag will leave me in financial agony. That leaves me with one choice. Find something cheaper, of course.

To see the look for less,

Now that's much better. This Spiegel Cropped Metallic Leather Jacket ($109, originally $129) is still awfully cute and much more affordable. I like how the scarf collar adds a sophisticated touch to the sheeny texture.

Back to Cool: Teen Queen, Molly Ringwald

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Molly Ringwald not only had dancing skills, the girl was the teen queen of the '80s. While crushing over Jake Ryan (so hot) in Sixteen Candles, being the not-so-popular girl in Pretty In Pink, or playing prom queen in The Breakfast Club, Molly ruled in her leather bombers, scrunched boots, frilly tops, and blazers. It's time to take your back to cool style, well, back in time!

Celebrity Style: Liv Tyler

FabSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 12:00:22 PDT

Liv looked like a sultry superstar for her appearance on The Late Show last night. And she had an outfit change to boot. So we get double Liv! One look was a lace Alexander McQueen that needs no introduction and the other is a pared-down navy silk dress and super-slick black leather jacket. She wore black McQueen heels with both and kept her coveted lips bright and plump.

Trend Alert: Asymmetrical Leather Jackets

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 06:00:22 PDT

What is it about leather jackets that make one look instantly cool? Maybe it penetrated our brain at a young age while we watched The Fonz in his tough leather jacket in Happy Days. Well, times have changed with women and men alike sporting this bad to bone outerwear. The off-center version of the classic jacket will give you a sexy, modernized look, a la Sarah Larson in Rick Owens. I dare you to be a bad gal and try out an asymmetrical leather jacket.
