Thanks to LynnZ for pointing out this second-skin, latex-look skirt by LNA on Shopbop. Shopbop suggests wearing the skirt with a loose-fitting t-shirt. I think that would be a good way to balance it out.

Oh, You Lacy Girl!
After being a hot source of latex-look leggings, Kova & T has moved on to lace. I’ve posted the skirt or the leggings, but my favorite is this sex-ay lace dress. Kova & T Renata lace dress$352 on Shopbop If you prefer just a touch of lace, take a look at this beautiful Viktor &…
Looking for Lace?
Prada has made lace hot for fall. Here are two non-Prada-priced options that caught my eye. Kova & T’s lace skirt is on sale for $63.99, down from $215, at Intuition. Size Large only. Intuition says, “Please note that garment is unlined & meant to be worn over opaque tights, leggings, or a slip. “…
The Color of Royalty

Oh Bondage Up Yours!
I’m tempted by this denim bondage skirt by Warhol Factory X Levis. It’s on sale at Barneys for $139, down from $200. It’s tricky to link to so just go to barneys.com and search for “bondage skirt.” “Oh Bondage Up Yours!” is my favorite song by 1970s British punk band X-Ray Spex. Poly Styrene, X-Ray…
