Above: Alexander Wang: worn with a simple black, menswear-inspired shift/vest-skirtPerhaps it's a natural result of the depressing economy lately, but this new grittiness that's reflective of the fashion zeitgeist is hard to ignore. New York designers have turned out a plethora of gothic, edgy, and messy looks that feature a whole lot of leather, zippers, and black. The black legging has been replaced by the leather legging--a fiercer, sleeker version that can be worn with nearly everything. Take a gander at some of its incarnations:
1. Elise Overland: A metallic version complements the adorned liquid top:
2. Jeremy Laing: Simple leather leggings play up the oversized/fitted dichotomy well:
3. Ohne Titel: The knee slits are simultaneously demure and racy, and they offer some interest to a sleek blazer:
4. Preen: Paired with a chic winter coat, these leggings look perfectly polished:
