15: Seriously Intimidating Footwear
Everywhere from large department stores to small boutiques are displaying a more intimidating boot this fall: Combat-style and adorned with lots and lots of studs on the toes and heels. Keep them the focus of your outfit by pairing with basic leggings or a simple dress.
14: Tough On The Jeans
You can rock studs ANYWHERE on your jeans, from the belt loops all the way down to the skinny ankles. DIY challenge: Hit up Pinterest to look up ways to stud your own pair of well-worn jeans.
13: Not-So-Soft Tee?
Those super light-weight basics are getting a fierce makeover with the addition of studs and grommets. (And by cutting off the sleeves to create a not-so-prim muscle tee.)
12: Ragin' Wrist Wear
Punk-inspired jewelry is popping up in stores everywhere. Go old-school and pair it with a leather jacket, or be unexpected and accessorize a girly frock with studded accents.
11: Bad-Ass Button-Down
This year's must-have sheer button-down gets a fall/winter update with the addition of heavy metal accents on the collar, cuffs, shoulders, or breast pockets.
10: Skirting The Issue
Nothing screams biker-chic like a studded denim skirt. But put those studs on a black micro-mini with a girly blazer? You'll have a look that's oh-so-right-now. And the more the metal, the better the skirt will look.
9: Still Sportin' Sandals
If you're someone that wears open-toe shoes year-round, you too can sport studs on your footwear! Plus, they're versatile; studded gladiator sandals look just as good with a pair of jeans as they do a summer dress.
8: Time Pieces
Big, menswear-inspired watches are everywhere right now. Why not snag one covered in studs for an extra kick?
7: Showin' Off The Short-Shorts
You know those high-waisted, studded hot pants that were so-the-rage at this summers' biggest concerts? They'll still work for fall. Just pair them with a chunky sweater and boots. (And leave the crazy midriff tops to Rihanna.)
6: Hell On Heels
Want to rock studded footwear, but aren't a fan of the heavy combat boots? You're in luck! Studded ballet flats and sky-high heels are making a huge statement this fall.
5: Oh-So Clutch
The clutch--summer's go-to purse--gets a fall/winter makeover with the addition of studs and a deeper color palette.
4: The Cuff
The studded cuff bracelet has been a bad-ass chic style staple for years. But it gets a trendy makeover with wide swatches of leather adorned with different-sized studs and grommets.
3: Head Gear
Studs on your winter beanie are very "in" this fall. To kick this look into high gear, take a queue from songstress Leona Lewis and sport a studded beanie in a bright color.
2: Earrings
The most subtle way to sport studs? With one of each ear, of course! Just make sure to pick a metal that won't discolor your skin.
1: Old Faithful- The Moto Jacket
Of all the pieces of your ensemble that you could possibly wear studs, there might not be any better place than on a motorcycle jacket. Be it heavy leather or distressed denim, there's nothing that screams tough-chic-cool than a studded moto jacket.
