Darrel Hunter
When fall rolls around, getting dressed in the morning can be a bit tricky. Although temperatures have dropped, it’s not quite cold enough to dig the shearling coats out, and there are just some days when we feel like wearing something a bit edgier than a trench coat. Enter: the leather jacket. Thick enough to keep us warm on chilly days, it’ll go with all of your wardrobe essentials – from comfortable jeans to pretty dresses – and you’ll be able to style it in so many ways that you won’t even have time to get bored of it.
If you’ve always thought that a leather jacket wasn’t for you, now’s the time to reconsider. The staple is perfect to layer on a breezy night or in a chilly office, and it was practically made for covering your simple white tees. You can even balance it on your shoulders to add an effortless element of surprise to your look. While these little moves may feel typical or ordinary, take a tip from the women below to employ even more cool, unexpected twists.

Lined Leather Jacket
In order to show off the interior lining of your leather moto jacket, allow it to hang open so the lapels are on full display and opt for a non-distracting top underneath. A sleek trouser and small mini bag are perfect outfit accoutrements.

Leather Blazer Jacket
A leather jacket that’s sophisticated enough to take the form of a blazer could benefit from a skin-revealing ribbed top underneath. Cater to the trends in cargo pants and ankle boots, and don’t shy away from an eye-catching purse.

Long Leather Jacket
A liquid-like long leather jacket that hits at mid-calf looks great styled with a pair of wide-leg pants or tough cargos. Opt for lug-sole platform shoes to ground out the rugged feel.

Leather Bomber Jacket
A leather varsity jacket feels instantly special and deserves the spotlight. Button it up and style it over a fitted jersey dress with a pair of heels and finish the outfit with a top-handle bag.

Black Leather Trench Jacket
This statement piece gives off ’90s “Matrix” vibes, so cater to the moment with dark, structured skinny sunglasses and a ripped mesh tee. Incorporating other avant-garde pieces from your closet, like reworked denim or patent boots, can also liven up the look.
