Button Downs and Leather pants

With the rise of 50s womanly chic, it seems that grunge has taken a backseat to cinched waists and full skirts.  But who says you have to compromise your motorcycle jackets and zipper pants?  Kate Moss is doing both.  Without the blue button down, she's sporting an all black ensemble.  Black tank, black leather zipper pants, and edgy boots.  In my mind black is always in style and goes with anything, but with the button down effortlessly thrown over the black shirt it gives the outfit more flair and polishes it up a little without being actually lady-like.  Being a fan of more relaxed, men's wear "esk" clothes, I completely dig this look.  In addition to the pop of blue going on up top, Kate also has a pop of leopard on her arm, incorporating what is said to be one of the most popular trends, animal prints.  I just think it's always nice to add a pattern.  Would you combine button downs and leather pants?
