INSPIRATION BOARD: WHIP IT

Take a trip on the dark side, to leather pieces, chain accessories, spike embellishments and other taboo items. Today we're inspired by the sleek, edgy look seen at Hermes—a hybrid between an equestrian rider and Zorro we find perfectly good.

Crack your whip in leather pants, and try out a harness-piece over your top in lieu of a necklace. If you don't want to go to extremes, nod to the look on your wrists with the tough, glam look of the gold, spiked cuff with leather cord from Fallon and the skinny spiked cuff from Rachel Roy. While this look is certainly a bit much for daytime duty, it is definitely one to try for a night out. Shop pieces below to whip it—whip it real good.
