Leather Jackets
Anyone that knows my style will know how much I love a leather jacket, at my last count I have 23! Guess what, I love them all !
I still remember when I bought my first one, which may I add I still have today. I bought it in Selfridges in London in 1998, of course I couldn’t afford it, as I had no money back then, but I just had to have this jacket. It was an olive green cropped bomber, no collar and I loved it. I wore it to death, it has many stories to tell, that’s for sure. Today it looks as good as it did back then. Just one of those purchases that I got spot on.
Leather jackets are timeless pieces that add an edgy flair to any outfit. From a classic biker jackets to chic cropped styles, there's a leather jacket for every occasion and personal style. I just find them so versatile, I can make it work with nearly all outfits. In this post, I will explore the versatility of leather jackets, covering cropped, tassels, blazers, biker jackets, and the perfect summer colors to elevate your wardrobe. I will recommend some options, where I know you can’t go wrong.
Classic Biker Jackets: The O.G
Biker jackets are a staple in every fashion-forward wardrobe. With their asymmetrical zippers, moto-inspired details, and rugged destressted look, they effortlessly add to any outfit with a little bit of attitude.
Opt for a timeless black biker jacket for a versatile piece that pairs well with everything from jeans and a tee to a floral summer dress.
Experiment with different textures like distressed leather or suede for a unique twist on the classic biker jacket.
Chic Cropped Styles:
Cropped leather jackets are perfect for adding a contemporary touch to your look. Whether you prefer a boxy silhouette or a more fitted style, cropped jackets are incredibly versatile.
Pair a cropped leather jacket with high-waisted jeans or a flowy skirt for a modern, feminine look.
Look for cropped jackets with embellishments like studs or embroidery for an extra dose of personality.
Tassel Accents:
Tassels add a playful and bohemian vibe to leather jackets, making them perfect for summer festivals or casual outings.
Opt for a fringe leather jacket with tassel accents along the sleeves or hem for a fun and trendy look.
Pair a tassel leather jacket with denim shorts and ankle boots for a stylish yet laid-back ensemble that's perfect for summer music festival, bring on Glastonbury & Tay Tay..
Sophisticated Blazers:
Leather blazers offer a sophisticated twist on the traditional suit jacket, making them ideal for both professional settings and evening events.
Choose a tailored leather blazer in a neutral shade like camel or black for a timeless addition to your wardrobe.
Layer a leather blazer over a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers for a polished office look, or dress it down with jeans and heels for a night out.
Summer Colors:
While black will always be a classic choice for leather jackets, don't be afraid to experiment with summer-ready hues like pastels and brights.
Opt for a blush pink or powder blue leather jacket to add a feminine touch to your summer wardrobe.
For a bold statement, consider a leather jacket in a vibrant shade like coral or turquoise, perfect for adding a pop of color to any outfit.
Over the years I have massed a few lighter options and they are amazing to wear with spring/summer outfits.
That’s it for leather jackets, I hope you enjoyed this week’s update.
