A leather jacket is one of the most versatile and stylish items of any season. We tell you how to choose a model that will not become outdated over time and will go with different items in your wardrobe.
Leather jackets have always been considered a basic wardrobe item – they were the hits of the catwalks at the end of the 20th century and remain a permanent part of new collections today. True, on store shelves you can find both universal and timeless models, as well as trendy new items with active decor and unusual cut. And the main thing is to distinguish one from the other and buy exactly the model you came to the store for.
This year, designers have fantasized about styles, colors and trim, so that everyone will be able to find an option to their liking. The current length of leather jackets includes shortened to the waist, or extended, just below the groin area. When choosing, it is worth paying attention to several key models, which in different configurations can become a universal base for your wardrobe, around which it will be easy to build images for different occasions.
Leather biker jacket
The biker jacket can already be called a classic. It will never go out of fashion and will serve you for many years. Create total looks in combination with leather pants, mix with romantic dresses and high boots. Another relevant option is sport chic, which will be ideal for every day if you lead an active lifestyle, or for the weekend, which you want to spend in maximum comfort. You can pair such a jacket with jeans, loose joggers and sneakers.
Leather shirt
A leather shirt is a winter trend that flows smoothly into spring and summer. Create sexy looks by wearing it as the first layer and unbuttoning a couple of buttons, revealing the décolleté area. Or use street stylers’ tricks and wear it as a second layer over turtlenecks, sweaters, and shirts. You can emphasize the waistline with unusual belts and sashes.
Leather jacket-blazer
After a short lull, this model is back on the catwalk. Designers are experimenting with different colors, adding color to the looks. This version of jackets is very easy to combine with other things – in fact, it is the same jacket, just leather. Bet on color and add accessories.
Aviator jacket
This model is relevant not only in winter. Without a fur lining, it looks a little less feminine, and to make the image look interesting, it is worth complementing it with details, for example, a bright scarf or accent earrings
How to choose
The most important thing is to choose the right size of leather product: the jacket should be a little loose so that as the first layer you can wear not only a T-shirt, but also a jumper or hoodie.
Among the variety of styles, you should be careful with leather jackets with fringe, especially if it does not match the style of your wardrobe. Also, this season, peplums are relevant again, and some designers present jackets with such details in their collections – however, it is unlikely that this jacket will fully work in your wardrobe. Therefore, if you want to be on trend, buy a jacket and a peplum separately and mix them together in an interesting way.
