Split Decision: Fabric Blocking For Fall

Forget color blocking; for Fall 2013, it's the stark contrast of various fabrics that's really making waves. Fabric blocking is the combination of two or more fabrics utilized within a single garment. The use of contrasting fabrics adds an interesting multi-textural feel, which couldn’t be more apt for the colder seasons where layering and texture are often key to successful, on-trend looks.  Why remain neutral when you can consider- and wear- both sides of the fabric story.  For the upcoming season make a spilt decision and combine your leather with wool, silk, mesh and lace.

Not feeling adventurous enough to sport these runway looks, try the street styles below.

For an edgy twist on a classic topper, try a denim jacket with leather sleeves.  The dark, glossy finish on the sleeves provides a cool contrast to the traditional indigo hue.
