Leather is Clever
Leather jackets are the ultimate in fall cool—they’re edgy, sharp and a little bit rock n’ roll. I love how last season’s trend of jackets with lots of softer feminine touches has carried over into this year. Throw a leather (or faux leather) jacket over even the simplest outfit like jeans and a tee shirt, to instantly make a statement.
Faves:
- Maybe you haven’t just hopped off your hog, but you can look like you did as blue leather gives this biker look a fashionable makeover with the Leather Strap Biker Jacket from Topshop.
- Cognac is officially the new brown, and when mixed with a stand collar and zippers galore--a la the Bagatelle Washed Leather Jacket at Neiman Marcus—it helps forge the perfect union of classic cut and vintage style.
- Girly meets tough in this Alfani Faux Leather Jacket. Ruffles and slight tapering make this style ultra feminine.
- Asos’ Oasis Victoriana Military Leather Jacket is neutral enough to blend with any color palette in your wardrobe, and gives the season’s military trend a slight twist—a concealed zipper under a plate style front (so you get the double-breasted look of a military jacket without actually having to fasten all the buttons), and feminine pleating detail in back.
