I remember when I was little, I thought leather jacket is the coolest thing in the world. Especially after watching a certain movies and TV series and seeing the iconic characters being cool in their leather jackets, I decided that I will buy myself one when I grow up. Now I am all grown up and I can proudly say I own a leather jacket! There is a difference between wearing leather jackets for fashion purposes and for protection. To me I wear it straightly for fashion so it’s more about the look than structure.

Choosing the perfect leather jacket is not hard but there will still be lots of try-ons involved because they all look different on the body. Depends on what look you are looking for, you need to pay attention to all the little details, such as zippers and collars etc. All these details would determine what look you will get: more biker-like, more girly, or more edgy. If you are going for something classic and timeless, stick with black as it is the most versatile and the easiest to dress up and down. One thing great about leather jacket is no matter how you dress/style it with, it always has that cool classic that can enhance your whole look.

You can wear leather jackets with almost everything: t-shirts, dresses, jeans, leggings, sweaters… You name it you can wear it! Just remember: Keep it simple. Leather jacket itself already has lot of personalities, so you want to keep other accessories to a minimum to avoid overpowering the look of the jacket. Another thing is you can wear leather jackets any seasons, all season long. If you are not sure what to wear when you go out, throw on your leather with a t-shirts and jeans. A quick and easy fix!
