Jessica Alba Keeps Warm in a Cardigan at the Staples Center

Jessica Alba watched the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets game at the Staples Center on January 5. She sat courtside along with her friend, CAA agent Michael Kives.

The 32-year-old actress dressed casually and winter-ready for the game. She wore a pair of jeans and thigh-high leather boots. Her gray top was sleeveless, but she made sure to keep warm with a cardigan.

Her cardigan probably just gave her a little warmth because its back and long sleeves have perforations. Well, at least she wasn’t out in the streets. Also, if not for the pointelle detail, this cardigan would have been very plain and simple. It’s made of a combination of Japanese acrylic and merino wool yarn. It is completed with button-down fastening and two front pockets.

5 Different Leather Skirts and How to Style Them for Winter

Which leather skirt style is your favorite? We don’t discriminate. Whether it’s a chic midi pencil skirt or a full mini skirt, we want in on the fun.

Leather skirts are undoubtedly sterling skirt options for winter. They do their work in giving you a semblance of cold protection and in keeping your outfits stylish. So when you are in doubt, go for leather skirts!

Take a look at these bloggers and get some ideas on how to style the different types of leather skirts:

1. Pencil Skirt

Jill

Jill from The August Diaries

Pencil skirts are actually quite versatile so you won’t have a hard time styling them. But here is a copy-worthy outfit from The August Diaries blogger, Jill. She wore it with a chunky cable-knitted sweater!

Why this works: She balanced out the slim-fitting silhouette of the skirt with a slouchy top that adds more volume. Jill also played with texture by pairing leather with knitwear, giving this an interesting edge.

2. Pleated Skirt

Barbora

Barbora from Vogue Haus

The pleated leather skirt has a lot of versatility. Not only can you play the part of a preppy girl with it but you can also style it in a modern way. Take a look at Barbora’s outfit. She wore her pleated skirt with a long jacket and a plain shirt. For extremely cold days, mix it up with a pair of tights and ankle boots.

Why this works: A leather jacket might have made this look over-the-top but she only opted for a leather-sleeved jacket. There is a subtle edge to the look that captured the essence of modern styling.

3. Maxi/Midi Skirt

KP

KP from Eleventh and Sixteenth

Leather maxi or midi skirts can be overwhelming. But keep it from looking excessive by choosing solid-colored pieces to go with it. KP did just that when she wore her black leather skirt with her black top and camel-tone coat.

Why this works: The color combination made the whole look cohesive.

4. Wrap Skirt

Lydia

Lydia from The Black Feather

Leather wrap skirts are best worn with sweaters. We love Lydia’s look because it is both stylish and appropriate for the winter season. She wore her skirt with a pair of tights and gave the look more edge to it by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

Why this works: Because the wrap skirt is very versatile, it’s easy to wear it with even the chunkiest of tops. The skirt also flattered Lydia’s figure, especially with those tights on.

Get These:

Tess Giberson Leather Wrap Skirt

5. Skater Skirt

Sandra

Sandra from Sandra B

You can’t go wrong with a good leather skater skirt. Wear it just like what Sandra did here – with a fitted top and a coat draped over her shoulders.

Why this works: Sandra played with the length of the pieces in this ensemble. The skirt is short but it was balanced out by the long coat. She also threw in a pair of knee-high boots for more style factor.

Jennifer Lopez Sheds 14 Years Off in a Youthful Blush Ensemble

Jennifer Lopez showed up at the taping of American Idol all dressed up in a blush metallic ensemble. The 44-year-old performer showed that age is nothing but a number when she put on a rather youthful look – from the sweet pink hues down to her cute half-ponytail – as she arrived backstage to judge at the Hollywood leg of this season’s American Idol auditions. The gorgeous Latina was later joined by a casually dressed Keith Urban.

Jennifer wore a full mini skirt by Kate Spade, which came in a lovely blush metallic material. She paired it with a blush metallic top, some seriously golden heels, a pair of huge drop earrings, and a nude Cayla clutch by Jimmy Choo (available at Saks). The Dance Again diva showed off her atrociously well-maintained toned legs. That’s J.Lo for you, people.

The Kate Spade Aimee skirt boasts of a lovely metallic fabric that easily takes on a voluminous shape, but tends to wrinkle a bit easily. The skirt has inverted pleats that holds the shape of the skirt, which are tucked cleanly into a waistband. The length falls a few inches above the knee, making it a great piece for mixing youthfulness and sophistication.

The skirt is also available in a gray metallic color at Nordstrom.

Wear Army-Style Jackets — Follow the Lead of Fashion Bloggers

Aside from leather moto jackets, there’s another way to channel a more masculine and tougher vibe in your outfits: go the army route! Yes, hunter green parka jackets and camouflage prints are making a comeback.

If you remember, they were pretty big a few seasons ago, but the interest on army style dissipated. Lately, however, it looks like the fashion industry has renewed its fascination with military-inspired outerwear, so they’re back in full force!

We are totally getting inspiration from the following fashion bloggers who are also smitten with the military trend:

1. Karla from KQ S Style

Karla

It’s easy to love Karla’s ingenious play on the army trend. You can tell she took inspiration from it, but her look is not overly masculine. She paired her jacket with earth-tone pieces to keep the look cohesive but threw in a hat for that extra edgy look.

2. Aika from Aika’s Love Closet

Aika

Aika managed to make the camo jacket look chic by wearing it with denim shorts and a layered top. It also takes good accessories to make this look work. Aika threw in a pop of red with her bag and a little Perspex with her pair of shoes.

3. Flavia from Fashion Coolture

Flavia

I suspect Flavia can wear a flour sack and make it look stylish. She looks polished from head to toe in an army-style jacket and a leather ensemble.

4. Marilyn from Messages on a Napkin

Marilyn

Marilyn layered a floral dress over a denim one, and then capped off the look with an army-style jacket! Very clever. It works, too! It’s a wonderful summer style to covet if you are feeling a tad adventurous.

5. Meri from Meri Wild

Meri

Army jackets too warm for the summer? Try army vests like what Meri is wearing in this photo. She definitely had spunky and grungy in mind when she came up with this outfit as there are a lot of tough elements in it. Pile on accessories like statement necklaces and bracelets for a more street-style vibe to your army-inspired ensemble.

Inspired by these bloggers? You, too, can rock the army trend. Here are some pieces to snap up:

Chris Evans Dons a Sleek Navy Jacket Before Turning into Captain America

Who better to feature as the fourth of July draws near than the actor who played the patriotic Captain America? Fitting, right?

Luckily for us, Chris Evans is very visible as he films his new movie Captain America 2 (are you, ladies, excited about this?). Just yesterday, he was spotted looking too cute in an ensemble that isn’t very different from the off-duty Captain America we see on the big screen.

Chris has on a sleek navy jacket that he wore with a simple white tee and a pair of jeans. The actor was squinting against the harsh rays of the summer sun, but he still looked dashing.

The jacket accentuated his broad shoulders and gave him an appeal that cemented all our superhero ideals about him.

You can get your guy a similar jacket. Here are some options:
