Leather jackets are one of those pieces that you will wear for life. If not for decades. A good quality one will transcend time and give you mileage that warrants its 4-figure price tag. If you're slamming down such dough for a piece of clothing, wear it with everything. Dress it up or down; wear it for all events and take it everywhere.
This high collar leather jacket has all the trappings of a solid investment piece. Its clean lines and structure gives this an evergreen feel that will always remain cool. The simple zip front and side pockets make this a fuss-free piece while the zippers on the sleeves provide the platform for you to add an extra dose of biker-chic toughness that I just can't get enough of.
The vent and ribbed hemline detail at the back makes this already incredible piece stand out from the sea of leather jackets. The dark grey ribbed detail offers a contrast that is unique and restrained at the same time; making this a serious contender for your hard-earned dough.

There's something to be said about a tailored pinstripe jacket. The light stripes add a dash of dressy-ness and with proper execution, can elevate an outfit to a whole other level.
This single-breasted jacket will do just that. The classic shape will stand the test of time while the ribbon collar adds a sliver of delicate detail that will always be appreciated. Rough this up with jeans and sneakers for a nonchalant cool vibe or dress this up to impress. Either way, you have a winner on your hands.

I dig it when fashion takes a dive into the edgier realm of expression and ever since the Givenchy store in Paris ran out of my size in Fall 09's bondage leather shoes, I have been thinking about bondage-influenced pieces ever since.
This Burberry top with bondage straps is a great alternative to wearing bondage straps on your feet. The premise is simple: Cotton top with criss-cross straps that go around the front and the back to provide an adjustable strap-on feeling of being well, bounded, in a sexy, sartorial way.
The lightness of the fabric and the dark navy shade is great for all year round wear; on it own or over as a layer. Whenever you're in a mood for making a statement.

I can go on and on about my love for Alexander McQueen's skulls. I have a thing for skulls and I especially like it when they are incorporated in my clothing. So season after season, the trademark of Mr McQueen is spun into varying versions.
I paused when I saw this interpretation. The skull motif is obvious and bold which is how it should be. But I don't feel anything for the patchwork detail. On closer inspection, the patchwork is varied and interesting. However, it has the ability to easily overwhelm.
You would need to be able to carry loud prints off and make them look cool. Any lesser and well, this tee would look like it's wearing you. Which is never good. So I am on the fence on this one - yay for the patchwork intricacy and boldness but nay for the fact that lesser beings, like myself, can't pull this off.
