What are the latest trends in leather jackets?
Always a classic, the leather jacket has made quite a comeback this season. Worn with everything from skinny jeans to floral dresses, the leather jacket is an essential item for every woman’s wardrobe.
I’m not all about trendy ruching and ruffles; if you purchase a clean-cut leather coat, I guarantee you’ll wear it for seasons to come.
I like this basic motorcycle style by Andrew Marc. With a zip-up front and slant side-zip pockets, this jacket could easily be dressed up or down. Check out the raised seam detailing and worn appearance of the grained leather. For under 400 dollars, this leather jacket is a bargain.
If you’ve got more cash to spare, invest it in this Riser Goodwyn leather jacket. This black leather design wears super-slim and reminds me of jackets frequently worn by Ashley Olsen and Gywneth Paltrow. Its banded neckline and curved hem give it an ultra-femme look.
