From boots to bags to jackets and jewelry, leather (real or faux) is everywhere and has been forever. There are very few stores that you can walk into now that do not have at least one leather or pleather item on its shelves or hanging on its racks. However, it can be difficult to narrow down the pieces that will serve our own wardrobe best. Here are 17 different options that will give you that classic edge.
Leather Jacket Three Ways: Structured Draping vs Pastel Perfection vs Classic Moto
1. Drape Napa Leather Jacket from Exhibit
2. Joie Casella Leather Biker Jacket in Icy Lilac
3. Major Moto Jacket by Lucky Brand Jeans
We cannot talk about leather without paying respect to the classic leather jacket. Today, there are so many different ways to rock the leather jacket and so many options to choose from that people of all style types can find one to work into their look. The button close and structured torso of this Drape Napa Leather Jacket perfectly compliment its wide lapel. If you need a bit of color or want to steer clear of too much black, buy this jacket in Icy Lilac. Last but not least, the classic moto style leather jacket with its shiny chrome hardware and zippers to match is a great addition to any wardrobe.
