Perfect Pairings

by Ann Whitbeck on August 8, 2012

Blazers and leggings are essentials in any closet–in all styles, shapes, and colors.  But my new favorites are the tuxedo blazer and leather leggingclassic basics with a trendy twist. These pieces are the perfect pairing for your Fall/Winter wardrobe.

Sophia Bush rocked a sleek tuxedo jacket on the red carpet of the Total Recall premiere. The black and white color combo made a strikingly bold statement just like it did at the Emilio Pucci FW 12 collection, when the designer draped it over a sultry LBD.

For a more affordable option, check out this blazer from Aryn K or Charlotte Russe has a sleek structured option for only $39.99! If you’re fully invested into the trend, this BCBG Max Azria boyfriend fit is totally swoon-worthy. 

Now…the leather legging.  This One Tree Hill star’s leggings are a red hot trend for Fall’s leather invasion. Follow Sophia’s lead and pair them back to the tuxedo jacket for a classic look.  But at CheapChicas, versatility is key and these leggings can give your casual look the perfect accent when paired back to an oversize sweater or button down shirt once the temperatures cool down. Check out these from Blank… for $88 these Vegan, faux leather leggings are absolutely worth the price tag!

With endless opportunity, I will definitely be saving a spot in my closet for the tuxedo jacket /leather legging combo! What a fabulous addition to any Fall wardrobe!
