STYLING A LEATHER JACKET

A leather jacket is a timeless investment piece that everyone needs in their closet. There are so many different varieties of leather jackets on the market that you are sure to be able to find one that suits you. And depending on your style, a leather jacket is such an easy thing to pair with just about anything.

Pair it with jeans

Probably the most popular way that we see a leather jacket styled, with your favorite pair of jeans. A classic jean and leather jacket outfit is so popular for so many reasons. One is that you can dress it up or down so easily. It is one of the most versatile looks you can work with. You can wear mom jeans, a tee-shirt, and sneakers with your leather jacket and be dressed down for a casual day. You can also swap out the sneakers for a low, open toe, heel and be ready for a night out with your girlfriends.

Amp up your athleisure

Athleisure has really made a name for itself in the last few years. It is seen as trendy to simply rock your gym clothes, even if you are not going to the gym. There is something so chic about throwing a leather jacket on over your workout clothes and heading the nearest shopping center to run your weekend errands. Almost all of our favorite celebrity’s street style photos are of them on a coffee run in their athleisure, topped off with a leather jacket. As long as you are rocking leggings and sneakers on the bottom and your leather jacket over whatever top you prefer, you are killing the athleisure look. 

Add an edge to a dress

Another super popular trend is wearing a dress with a leather jacket. With how popular dresses have become over the last few seasons, your perfect dress and leather jacket outfit is most definitely out there. Going back to street style, a simple midi dress with white sneakers and a leather jacket is such a classic model-off-duty look that so many of our favorite style icons are rocking.

Go monochromatic

Whether it is all black, a full off-white/cream fit, or a “grout-fit,” monochromatic looks are being seen everywhere. One of the perks of a monochromatic look is that it can be sported in a sweatsuit or a pantsuit, there are so many options! Being that the most common leather jacket color is black, the easiest way to go is an all-black outfit underneath the jacket. It is a very classic, easy and edgy look that you can always put your own twist on.

Over the shoulders

The look of draping a leather jacket over your shoulders can come off as confusing to some. How does it stay on? What is the point? Etc. Simply putting your jacket over your shoulders makes your outfit look so much richer. It can really take a mediocre outfit to the next level because of the chic flair that it adds. It is also bound to keep you warm when you are the littlest bit chilly and it is so easy to take on and off.
