Sweet 6 Things: The Leather Jacket Effect

What to add, when it’s just too hot for anything else.

A leather jacket may be timeless, but when it’s too damn hot, these key pieces do the trick—and get your look on lock. When your all-white, summery looks feel a little to dainty, adding touches of white can be the perfect touch to sharpen up the look. Shop our favorite 6!

1. A Black Top Handle

A top handle tote that lends ladylike appeal to any look. Our current favorite is from Altuzarra. This Chloé look is making boho-chic waves and has inspired us to add some darker tones to our summer ensemble.

2. A Black Strappy Sandal

The pair that works all year long and will always add edge and sophistication to your outfit. Marina wears the now sold-out Annie style in Paris. The newest cutest pair is the Brooks sandal.

3. A Black Belt

Cinching the waist and tie it all together with our favorite, quality, and affordable belt. Adding a touch of black in the midsection breaks up the look in the chicest way... especially if you're Victoria Beckham.

4. A Black Sunglass

Because a cool girl always rocks a shade, but all black one adds a certain sleekness. Kendall Jenner's look is simple, but given depth with her black hues.

5. A Classic Black Slide

This shoe will take you right into fall, but is the perfect touch to add into your final summer days. Take it from the french, Patou exemplifies the leather jacket theory to perfection.

6. An Eye-Catching Bralette

A black bra that plays peekaboo feels just subtle enough. Adding this under a white tank or tee feels like the right balance of cool and put-together.
