Give it up for the staple of the season, the ultimate wardrobe staple: the Leather Jacket.

Autumn is well and truly upon us, and what better way to wrap up warm than with an on-trend leather jacket? The leather jacket has been synonymous with supermodels like Kate Moss from as early as the 1990s, it’s such a classic and versatile item of clothing that’ll never go out of fashion. They’re sleek, stylish, timeless and transitional from season to season.

The jacket we’ll always love… it sure does say a lot about your sense of style so be sure to pick the right one for each outfit. Not sure where to start? Here are 4 ways to wear a leather jacket.

The Biker Jacket

If you’re anything like us, then you’ll remain loyal to the biker jacket trend. While the popularity of the biker jacket has waxed and waned, the Prada SS22 collection championed the return of the classic jacket. The beauty of the biker is that anyone can wear it and there are enough outfits that cater to every occasion.

For a more casual look, bring out your favourite pair of jeans, along with a white T-shirt. The biker jacket is a bold piece of clothing, it tends to be more eye-catching as it has a lot more features such as a collar, buckles, zips and more, so the look should be kept simple.

If you’re feeling a little edgy, pop on a pair of chunky boots to embrace your inner rockstar.

The Cropped Leather Jacket

The cropped leather jacket: a more modern variation of the classic clothing item. Playful in appearance – for the simple fact that they don’t look as serious as a true biker, yet the cropped jacket still offers excellent structure.

The best part about this jacket is that you can wear it with a dress while still looking effortlessly elegant and it looks equally as good with skirts or a pair of wide-leg trousers.

The Quilted Leather Jacket

The ultimate rockstar jacket. Pair this quilted biker with some black ripped jeans and high-top trainers, and if you’re feeling more of a street-style look, opt for skate shoes or a pair of boots. Pro-tip: this jacket always looks best when paired with darker colours to keep the rocker appearance intact. A sleek day-to-night look, whether you’re going out for a drink or hitting the streets.
