January 26, 2023 How to Style a Leather Jacket

We often get asked how to style a leather jacket, and it’s a great question because there are so many ways.

In fact, we consider a leather jacket a fashion investment piece because of its ability to last over years of wear and its versatility to change over time with your personal style.

Here are 7 ways we recently styled a leather jacket, brought to you from our New York and Chicago stores.

With Frills

A moto-styled jacket is ideal for this: give it a contrast with soft frills.

Vintage

First, find yourself a classic, vintage jacket. Then, layer it with granny chic pieces like scarves and big sunnies.

With Soft Fabrics

Another styling trick with contrast: pair the jacket with silks, linens, and flowy fabrics.

A t-shirt and jeans will always look better with a leather jacket.
