Staying Single: A Lesson in Layering Leather

Though daylight losings time has come and gone, the cold weather doesn't seem to be letting go. Raise your hand if this has been the most obnoxious winter to fuck with your immune system?

Because of inclement weather conditions, shivering bones, and things like pneumonia, I thought I'd post one last winter-friendly layering story before I start preaching the art of layering your underwear. No really. I layered underwear last night. It was fun.

On today's roster: leather, leather and more pleather! One is often prone to associate leather with Cat Woman, Angelina Jolie and sexual vixens of that sort. This is where I come in so below you will find a fantastic series of photos that will demonstrate the art of castration sans-torture instrument, plus fabric.

t shirt: Club Monaco, leather pants: Topshop, loafers: Stubbs and Wootton

Phase 1: While this is as standard an outfit as any, I have a leather fupa and for that, I deserve an award.

 

shorts: Club Monaco

Phase 2: leather shorts over leather pants, by golly, why did it take me until the end of February to think this one up?

 

skirt: Zara

Phase 3: The use of those shorts obviously sparked a brilliant idea: make it a skort night.

 

...See what I mean? See what I mean? Leather party in, on and around my pants.

 

vest: WGACA

Phase 4: Add a leather vest. Here's to motorcyclists without motorcycles.

 

jacket: Veda

Phase 5: Leather jacket. This is saucy.

 

birth control glasses: Warby Parker, booties: Proenza Schouler

Phase 6: Finishing touches to nip his tip. Clear frames--non-prescription, of course--leather booties and ta da, not an ounce of flesh in sight. Let's hereby dub this,"Matrix chic" and sing a song of collective solidarity that goes a bit like this: L-L-L-Leather is Forever.
