While summer is not quite over, stars are already itching for their bad girl favorites. The great thing about going for a leather piece is that it adds a casual and easygoing feel to any look. Go for whatever style your heart desires; vest, skirt or the classic leather jacket. This look works best when you start with a simple outfit. The desired outcome is sexy-cool, not a messy 80’s disaster.

Look how Katie livens up a plain outfit with her creamy butterscotch vest. Style-icon Ashley Olson manages to make a black leather mini appear chic not trashy when paired with a simple charcoal top.

Both Beyonce and Angelina throw on a classic black jacket to keep their look together and cool.

Invest in one good leather piece, and you’ll be rockin' it for many years to come.
