Patent leather revival

Fashion product used with multiple accessories shows longevity due to numerous incarnations

Patent leather is that one key trend that always comes back in style no matter what happens in the fashion world. It’s that one little detail sure to give a little shine or a pop of color to any girl’s wardrobe. The reason for this is simple: versatility.
Patent leather is a detail that can range from bags to shoes, belts, jackets and more. The only rule here is to not overdo it, or it comes off overly shiny and definitely tacky. Pairing patent leather flats with a belt can work as well as pairing a patent leather bag with patent leather shoes. The same rule of less is more is the best way to showcase this trend in a chic way. But how to wear it?

Patent leather flats

are key to the wardrobe of any busy college girl; they are perfect for running to class but can also be paired with a cute dress and tights for a night out. The breakout classic patent leather flat was designed by Tory Burch, but they are also available at retailers everywhere since Burch’s flats tend to be on the more expensive end.

WUSC Charts Highlights

LA ROUX
Electropop duo La Roux are interesting to say the least. Based in the aesthetic and the excess of fashion of the eighties, the British group chug out catchy dance ditties sung by self-described androgynous front woman Eleanor Jackson. With their self-titled debut, La Roux insist that even in these times of despair we all need a little excess every now and again.

Diverse influences aid Flower

Tulsa, Okla. musician credits hometown for style

With a perfectly memorable name for a performer, a fresh album under his belt and a regional and personal style that sets him apart from Columbia musicians, Sage Flower — hailing from Tulsa, Okla. — will be performing solo at Wet Willie’s tonight.


A low-key demeanor, focus on lyrics and a multidimensional genre base characterize the work of Flower, who is in South Carolina for the second time after playing in Charleston last April. His current tour of the Southeast, after extensively playing all over the Midwest, is to promote his most recent album “Arrow” and establish new markets.
