There are almost as many leather jackets as clothing styles. Here are five tips to wear this piece every day being both yourself and trendy.
Colors, shapes, finishes, associations… The leather jacket is a wardrobe must-have and reveals itself in a multitude of styles that suit every personality.
Break the look with an oversized leather jacket
Essential in the dressing room, the leather jacket for women in an oversize cut is the must-have in terms of strong piece. Whether you bought it in a luxury boutique, found it in a trendy thrift store or poked it out of your father’s or grandmother’s old clothes, the wide leather jacket is never out of fashion. But this year, it is associated with pieces of another style to achieve this long-awaited fashion side. For a soft look, the XXL leather jacket merges perfectly with a wide-breasted pair of pants, just like Hailey Bieber. The combination of these two elements finds its harmony in its heterogeneity. We can also imagine a leather/lace wedding with an embroidered and bare dress playing on the transparencies, or, very hype at this moment, a ballet/athletic core look composed of a sporty body, a pantyhose and ballerinas. The goal? Break the look and unite the styles.
Choose a light chocolate or cherry red
To be more trendy than ever in leather jacket this year, we bet on two colors that sublimate the material. On one side, a light brown in the shades of mocha foam, the shade of the year 2025 according to Pantone. Discreet and elegant, this chocolate shade softens the looks compared to its black version and brings a vintage side very sharp when the piece is patinated. On the other hand, a more daring cherry red but ultra fashionable according to Pinterest. This color revives monochrome or natural colors looks and allows to play on the shades for a sophisticated outfit without being too rock.
The blazer: the perfect form in everyday life
To go to work while respecting the company codes and without thinking that you are going to a concert, the leather blazer is the ideal shape. Whether it is black, dark blue, light brown or more pop in red or green, the jacket composed of structured shoulders, a waist more or less cinched and a lapel collar gives an elegant silhouette and tayloring. Exit the faux leather too soft and “cheap”: the idea is to invest in a blazer well cut and made in quality leather with the aim of having a good fit in a rock chic style.
A leather jacket and skirt set
This leather jacket and skirt set can be worked in a multitude of ways. In a Courrèges spirit of the 60s, we opt for a leather jacket short and straight, with three-quarter sleeves, associated with a mini skirt, also straight. Sophisticated and young, this sixties style oscillates between freshness and vintage. Another option, perhaps more difficult to master but whose result is impeccable, the combination of a short and wide jacket fully closed up to the collar and a long straight skirt.
Don’t be afraid of the strong piece
The leather jacket being quite classic in the fashion landscape, so dare! If the leather blazer and the short straight jacket fit a multitude of outfits and are rather easy to combine, we turn to the strong pieces to bring character to our outfits. Fringes, fur collar, nails, carnations, snake skin look, trinkets on the closures… We impose our style with confidence and put the leather jacket at the center of his outfit. What to break the gloom of everyday life!
