Leather jackets have long been a go-to staple among the It-crowd, so it’s no surprise that come Fashion Month, they’re a common sighting on the street-style circuit. Few pieces have quite the same ability to make an outfit feel instantly cooler, especially during the autumn and winter months.
’s guide to styling leather jackets
These days, there’s a leather jacket for nearly every mood. Oversized bombers and cropped, close-fitting styles posses the same styling possibilities as polished trenches, slouchy anoraks, and classic motos – but their supple leather fabrication gives them extra edge.
Styling-wise, go the model-off-duty route with lived-in denim and a knit, or use a leather jacket to toughen up tailored trousers and a blouse. You could even experiment with contrasting textures by throwing one over a whimsical printed dress or skirt.
When it comes to autumn style, a great leather jacket does a lot of the work for you. Here are six ways we’re wearing them now.
With tailored trousers and a ladylike top handle
With a printed dress and loafers
With a striped long-sleeved top and coloured denim
