It’s all about looking tough this fall. Whether it’s a military style coat, a bad girl cuff, or a leather jacket, intimidating combat looks are a big trend.
I love seeing the rugged soldier jackets with a feminine touch of lace and gold. Try to embrace this fun trend and enjoy rocking your spiky heels while time permits. Designers like Christian Louboutin, Michael Kors, Givenchy, and Chanel are spiking out their heels and accessories to take “tough” to a gorgeous level.
To slowly embrace this sassy, bad girl trend try this Sam Edelman Convertible Jacket with leather sleeves. This is an essential casual jacket. This is something that is a great base with its leather flare, and sets a clean backdrop to wear a spikey cuff or a multilayered chain necklace instead of diving all in.

Not digging the simplicity of the Sam Edelman jacket, and not into spikes? Then you may be obsessed with Tahari’s thick, gold chain choker and necklace. I love this bulky choker that allows you to liven up all of your plain cardigans and tees.
