A well-fitting leather jacket never goes out of style. The key, however, is to style it in a way that doesn't make you look like Danny Zuko or a member of the T-Birds. “Leather jackets are one of my favorite transitional pieces to go from summer weather into the fall months,” cele ity stylist Samantha Brown says. Brown shares a few critical tips for achieving the stunning variety of looks that a leather jacket can offer.
At the office: Pair a leather jacket with a silk blouse, tucked into a pencil skirt or skinny trousers for an office-appropriate way to integrate leather into a work wardrobe.
The versatility of leather: Leather jackets look amazing layered with a casual T-shirt or blouse with distressed jeans, over your favorite sundress and paired with ankle booties, or even with your sparkliest evening attire.
Softening the look: If a leather moto jacket is too severe, opt for suede in a matte finish to achieve the same look with a little softness.
Upgrade the jeans-and-tee: Showcase your personality with leather jackets that have patchwork, studs, fringe, and moto details as a way to upgrade a simple tee and jeans.
Choose a hue: Leather jackets are available in a rainbow of color options, but a classic black, own, navy, or burgundy will be a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
