TRENDSPARK: The Leather Jacket Waist Wrap

Edited by Kirby Marzec

I haven’t seen anyone wrap a jacket around their waist since the late 90s, but from an aesthetic viewpoint, I like how it looks! This girl spotted outside of the Iceberg Fall 2010 show probably did the wrap around because she was a bit too warm, but I can totally see people doing this for style purposes! Forget sweatshirts and button-ups around the waist, leather jackets are where it’s at…but quick, you’ve only got a few weeks to do this before it gets too hot!
