Rue La La » leather mini skirt http://www.ruelala.com/blog The (Style) Guide Mon, 20 May 2013 19:15:24 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Wardrobe Builders http://www.ruelala.com/blog/2013/01/04/wardrobe-builders/ http://www.ruelala.com/blog/2013/01/04/wardrobe-builders/#comments Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:00:46 +0000 Julia Ivins http://www.ruelala.com/blog/?p=34597 We are all stylists of our own wardrobe, and the best of us know when to toss a has-been trend and when to hold on to items bound to make a comeback. The result: a well-equipped closet of quality pieces and styles that endure season after season. These picks from The Six: Wardrobe-Building Women’s Labels – in burgundy, leather, velvet, and gold – are surefire trends, but in timeless shapes that last.

Red Dress
This little number has the same versatility as an LBD, but with added have-to-have details. (If you love the cutout look, this is up your alley.) Throw this frock on for any can’t-get-out-of-bed Friday and transition (sans bathroom change) from desk to drinks.

Leather Mini
The leather skirt may be a then-and-again trend, but this straight shape is a classic, making this buttery number a long-term investment.

Velvet
It’s just one of those things that can either go so right – or so wrong. If you’ve been holding off on this 80s throwback – just waiting for the perfect blend of sheen that’s not too gaudy, not too grade school – now’s your chance.

Belt
As memorable as Carrie’s leather studded belt and just as versatile. Cinch this stunner around a polished frock (ahem, like the little red dress), print dress, or even a winter puffer.

The Six: Wardrobe-Building Women’s Labels Boutique opens Friday, January 4, at 11AM ET.
