Tory Burch chain embellished leather jacket. Shown here with Tory Burch boots, Citizens of Humanity jeans, Kain top, Versace ring and a Marni bag.
This season, show off your inner fierceness with a revamped leather jacket, as seen on the runways of Isabel Marant, Todd Lynn, Threeasfour and Neil Barrett.
A well-fitting leather jacket should not be tight on the shoulders and should allow movement without discomfort. Choose one that’s true to your size and consider different layering possibilities. A fitted, cropped Tory Burch’s chain-embellished leather jacket shows off a slim waist, whilst J. Crew’s Aberdeen distressed leather number has a slightly more relaxed fit that flatters most shapes and allows for multiple layering.
Burberry Prorsum zipped leather jacket. Shown here with a Burberry dress.
Choose styles in lighter colors and fabrics for day, such as Bess’s Sioux raw-edge jacket or Burberry Prorsum’s zipped leather jacket,, which has a detachable peplum that creates curves and transports it from work to play in a flash. For night, look for jackets with a refined edge, such as Alexander Wang’s cropped jacket or DKNY’s quilted-leather version.
You don’t have to be a biker chick to work this tough-luxe staple—pair it with your favourite floral dress or vintage jeans for a rebel-chic fashion formula.
