Trend Alert! STUDS + SPIKES

Fashion fiends, it’s time to take a walk on your wild side. Give in to the bad-girl look that has been invading high street stores this Autumn.

Reminiscent of the 80’s punk era and refreshed by the likes of Lady Gaga and Kristen Stewart, studs and spikes are glamorous whilst also being edgy at the same time; it can be dressed down or dressed up and emphasized – depending on your style.

Here’s how:

Campus Studs

I see a leather jacket as an investment, so my advice is to buy one made with real leather with a few studs. It could be pricey, but this way you can wear it for numerous winters and it will stay in style.
