Rocker Chic Leggings for Fall

I am obsessed with leggings. Cooler weather is the perfect time to bust these out and pair them with tunics and dresses (and maybe even leather boxing shorts) to keep you comfy and warm in the fall and winter. While your basic black leggings are always a great go-to option, leggings can also be the edgy addition to your outfit. Check out these options to turn up the dial on rocker chic style this season.

Leather look leggings from American Apparel

Leather-look leggings won't break the bank but they will leave you looking sharp and hard as nails at the same time. American Apparel has a bunch of different styles. I can't wait to wear all of those this season. ASOS has similar options, including some plus size styles.

Kat Von D "Jade" Mesh legging

I love Kat Von D's "Nicole" and "Jade" mesh leggings. They're sexy and avant-garde at the same time. At around $60, these are more affordable than some of her other garments.

ASOS Curve plus size sequin panel leggings

ASOS Curve has fabulous plus-size options like these sequin panel leggings. Glitz and glam rocker chic made easy and accessible.

Black and White leggings from ASOS

ASOS also has these black and white leggings with a random stripe pattern -- like Beetlejuice on "shuffle."

Lace panel leggings from Torrid

Lace is always a great option for leggings, and Torrid offers these plus size lace-panel beauties as an option. The solid panel on the back means fewer chances to snag the sexy floral pattern.

Hue Python-look leggings

Though I personally have not had great luck with Hue, these python-look leggings look fantastic. With a black oversized tunic, they add trompe-l'oeil texture that is completely on trend.

As you may know, I love metallics. So it's no surprise I love these wet-look gunmetal and silver with pyramid detailing leggings by Black Milk Clothing.

Check out these other Black Milk Clothing -- the trendy inverted Cross of St Peter will lend edge to even the most basic cold-weather wear.

On Trend: Skulls

I've been rocking skulls since way before they were trendy. But don't get me wrong -- this isn't a lamentation that they're now ubiquitous; I'm actually stoked. It's now way easier to acquire really badass and gorgeous fashion covered with skulls.

Here is some inspiration for the trend that is actually as timeless as the memento mori it represents!

Jewellery

Tarina Tarantino Classic Skull necklace is $63 on Amazon and comes in lots of different colours. I love this dark one and the mix of girly beads and a bow with the skull.

Another girly skull, Betsey Johnson "Betsey the Vampire Slayer" Rhinestone Skull Ring will definitely make people do a double-take.

I love this ring, which I bought at a local shop in my town, so much that I got the hematite version, too. Spikes and Diamonds? More like Skulls and Diamonds!

I love my turquoise skull bead stretch bracelet. It's so summery and goes great with silver or gold accessories.

Accessories

This take on Alexander McQueen's skull knuckle-duster clutch is everywhere this season. It's a perfect way to add edge to an evening outfit.

Of course, arguably McQueen's most famous skull-related piece inspired scarves like these. They look great with nearly everything -- from a casual day at class or a night out. 

Shoes

These Steve Madden loafers combine two trends in one -- smoking loafers and skulls. Plus they're blinged out! 

Iron Fist is a skull-lover's dream. They have dozens of different options for heels, wedges, platforms, and flats with skulls (and other dark imagery). When I wear my pair of Digi Skull shoes, I get loads of compliments.

Womenswear

Torrid's got lots of plus size options with an edgier look, like this graffitti-inspired skull and rose top. 

Hot Topic takes the theme of girly skulls a step further and makes a skull entirely out of butterflies.

Alex and Chloe have this top with a heart made from adorable smiling skulls (which is currently on sale!).

This Instagrammer totally rocked Black Milk Clothing's skull dress by wearing it backward with a mesh top over it. I love this look! 

Gypsy Warrior has got these amazing hi-lo skull blouses in ivory and black. 

This Zadig and Voltaire cashmere tank wins the award for most subtle incorporation of a skull.

These skinny jeans from Tripp have skulls on one leg! Split jeans are totally in right now so these are more trend for your dollar.

These skull leggings offer a much subtler skull pattern for your skull-bottomed needs.

What did I miss? What are your favourite skull fashions?
