Some closet mainstays simply never go out of style, and the best leather jackets definitely fit the bill. The classic outerwear staple offers aesthetic versatility and seasonal fluidity which makes it an excellent layering piece that will stand the test of time. From classic moto jackets to sleek blazers, there’s a plethora of styles to choose from, each one a wardrobe essential with its own unique vibe.
A lightweight leather jacket—be it cropped or beat-in and oversized—is frequently touted as a transitional staple; the spring jacket (but also fall jacket) can be styled in a myriad of ways throughout the year, and isn’t really beholden to trends. You can throw it over a spring dress or layer it underneath a winter coat (for when you got a little too excited about the sunshine but didn’t check the temperature). Beyond their year-round styling potential, genuine leather jackets last a long time—and look best a little worn-in—which can help justify the investment.
Whether you want to test out roomier silhouettes with the trending bomber jackets, or you want that ‘70s-inspired retro flare via a healthy dose of fringe, we’ve got just the pick for you. Ahead, 15 leather jackets that will help to tie your look together in a snap.
