Leather jackets are one of my FAVORITE pieces to add to any wardrobe. They add the perfect touch of edge to any outfit, and can be worn with literally anything. Sometimes though, I know it can be overwhelming to have such a versatile piece in your wardrobe, or maybe you always gravitate to a less of a statement piece as a layer. Trust me, I’ve been there. Finding new ways to wear a piece, especially one as versatile and iconic as a leather jacket, can be super intimidating! So, how can you wear this iconic piece in your wardrobe for 2022?! Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!
Today on the blog I am sharing with you 10 ways to style a leather jacket! You can absolutely style this magnificent piece with just about anything, but starting here is an easy way to start wearing this piece more in 2022! Here’s how I style my leather jacket!
Classic 90’s Grunge Look
The iconic look. Leather jacket, white tee, Levi’s, and combat boots. What could be more edgy than this?! This look is great for guys and gals. Plus, you can accessorize the heck out of this look with chunky jewelry, fun socks, or a bold bag!
Cottage Core Look
Nothing says cozy like cottage core! But what if you added an edgy layer to make this trendy look a little more iconic? I love pairing my tiered plaid dress with a leather jacket for a little bit of juxtaposition. A little hard and soft if you will! Finish off the look with a clunky lug boot, tights, and cozy wool socks and you’ve got the perfect look for winter.
Date Night Look
Date night just got spicy! 🌶 Pairing your softer date night clothes with a harder fabric like a leather piece is perfect for your next dinner date. This patterned skirt, vintage blouse, and leather jacket combination is the perfect look for a hot date! Finish off with a strappy wrap heel and you’ll be turning all the heads at dinner. 😉
Black Out Look
Mixing textiles has to be my favorite thing to do. Truly! So naturally, mixing an oversized turtleneck sweater with leather leggings and a jacket is of course at the top of my must wear list. This whole look just oozes with chicness, and it’s so cozy, you won’t want to take it off! Perfect for a weekend running errands. (I even slip on a baseball cap and shades sometimes 👀 I feel like a movie star dodging paparazzi in this look!)
Gym Look
Have errands to run after your gym session? Swap your sweaty tank for a t-shirt and your leather jacket for the perfect layered look with your leather jacket. A pop of bold colored leggings is the perfect complimentary bottom to go along with your leather jacket! If you’re a sweaty mess like me after the gym, toss on a baseball cap or a beanie in a matching color with the leggings for a fun finishing touch!
Office Look
Have you ever thought of swapping your blazer for a leather jacket? Adding an edge to your business attire is a fun way to get creative in 2022! Try your leather jacket with a neutral slack, white button down, oxfords, and minimal accessories for a fun office look that will surely make you feel like the boss you are!
Sweater Weather Look
I’m just as obsessed with sweater dresses and I am with leather jackets. So sometimes I forget to wear them! So why not wear both at the same time? Pair with OTK (Over The Knee) boots and finish with a sleek ponytail and glasses for a cozy, yet sophisticated leather jacket look.
LBD (and a Jacket) Look
Another iconic look! A LBD (Little Black Dress) and a leather jacket are the perfect pair for your next wedding, date, girls night out, or just because! Depending on the LBD, get creative with this one. Match it with sneakers for a casual look, or heels for a night on the town. Throw on chunky jewelry or go minimal. I love a chic basic looks because it’s almost like a blank canvas!
Layer your leather jacket with just about anything!
