16 Dec How To Find The Right Leather Jacket With That ‘Love Hard’ Edge

Being single for the holidays can be a disaster. You might start to feel like you need to make that Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or Inner Circle profile. Do not forget that there are also advantages to being single for the holidays. If uploading your profile picture on that dating app feels like there is a gloomy storm approaching? Take a different route and look for your victory in the just-not-for-me-section. But if swiping left & right on the couch, while sipping hot chocolate and humming Christmas carols brings you great joy this holiday season. More power to you! You might have yourself a happy tinderationship. Now, let’s make sure you have the right outfit for that first date. – Costume Design by Caroline Cranstoun

In ‘Love Hard’ , Natalie (Nina Dobrev) decides to book a flight across the country to surprise visit her online match. Soon she realizes she has been catfished. We see her wearing a lot of sporty and casual outfits. Nike sweatshirts, casual t-shirts with cool prints and formal oversized blazers. The costume design is a perfect blend of ”I’m on the run to the nearest Starbucks kinda casual chic”. Sometimes all you really need is a cozy blanket, a chai tea latte and a catfish story gone right to lift the Christmas spirits. Maybe make some snacks too.

What to wear for that first date? Finding confidence is as simple as having the courage to be yourself. Whatever your first date activity may be: Coffee, drinks, movie, yoga class, indoor rock climbing or table tennis? Do not all of a sudden think it is a good idea to wear that old but still sort of pretty dress you bought five years ago. Long story short: Wear something you like. Wear something you are comfortable in. Wear something that makes you feel good. Walk to your closet and do not overanalyze your first date outfit. You do not want to ruin your outfit before you even choose one.

How to find the right leather jacket? A great leather jacket can easily add that rocker chic edge to any plain outfit. You can go for a classic fitted cut with a smooth finish, like the one Natalie is wearing with her burgundy turtleneck dress. This classic All Saints leather jacket cuts just above the hip and will allow you to maintain the proportions of your body shape. The wide leather belt is attached to the back of the jacket, which means you don’t need to worry about leaving it open when you want to wear it casually with jeans and a t-shirt. If you want to try a different style look for the various finishes in leather and at the wide variety of hardware details. The Alexander McQueen oversized leather jacket has a boxy shape and the multiple long zippers give this jacket more of an edgy vibe.
