Leather Jackets

The classic leather jacket is another way to complete a fall outfit. Though I have seen more military this season than anything else in outerwear, leather is a fresh alternative to pull off an equally edgy look.

Classic Biker Jacket:

This one I actually own. I purchased it from Ruby Leather on Etsy and I had a detachable sheepskin collar made for it, all for $119. It falls just above the hip and the leather is soft and smooth. The sheepskin gives it somewhat of an aviator look especially with my ray-bans. It doesn't have too much hardware on it so it quickly became one of my closet staples. 

Balmain:

This one is a definite nod to haute couture. The squared off shoulders and the chain definitely give this one a unique toughness. I also like buckles on the sides. While looking through Balmain styles, I wanted to pick one that wasn't too excessive without losing its appeal.

Military Inspired:

This jacket really stands out because of the buttons and military detailing in the front and sleeves. It borrows from civil war jackets, giving it a cool vintage-meets-modern feel. I found this one on Ioffer, Ecrater, and Etsy, running from $150 - $190, but they were all genuine leather.   

Spikes and Studs:

Not only do I love the spikes and gold tone zippers, but also the color. The accents make this one scream I'm Bad. It's from Etsy and available in white and other colors too, genuine leather.

Bomber Jacket:

Lovely brown bomber from leatherarena.

Shearling:

Adding the softness and warmth of faux shearling to the biker style was so ingenious that it sold out. I love the color and the stitching and how they give this unique piece a style of its own. 

Color:

It's all about ombre here, adding a touch of this past summer's trend. it also came in coral orange, dusty black and grey-red. It was available from Muubaa for around $400 - $600 but it sold out, how sad. 

Disaster:

This tattered disaster costs $63,000. I pity the poor alligator that died for this horrendous contraption. 

Style Tips: Pair a tough jacket with feminine accessories to avoid going over-macho. Add a brightly colored scarf, crochet beanie, or whatever strikes your fancy.
