Okay yes, the weather is warming up but it’s still technically the colder months which means we’re milking every second of winter fashion we can get. Case and point? Leather jackets. 

A certified classic for a reason, leather jackets are as sophisticated as they are badass, resulting in a rugged charm that keeps them in high rotation even as trends come and go. With varying silhouettes to suit all aesthetics, it doesn’t matter if you take your leather jacket in the form of a bomber, trench, or blazer – this is the clothing item you’ll love for a lifetime.

Let’s address the wallet-sized elephant in the room: the price tag. While it might put a dent in your pocket, a good leather jacket (like all leather clothing) is an investment piece, which means it will pay itself off for years to come. It’s also why the end of season is the best time to keep an eye on your wishlist, with winter sales giving you the chance to snag a deal on a timeless wardrobe staple that won’t go out of style. Trust us, future you will be singing your praises! 

Ready to rock and roll? Scroll on to discover the best leather jackets (including faux leather) you need on your wishlist:

Black leather jackets

Need we say more? The OG leather jacket is versatile, practical, and exudes a cool-girl edge that is sure to have you strutting with an extra pep in your step. For a more refined take, opt for a sleek yet boxy fit or a floor-grazing trench.

 

Brown leather jackets

Adding warmth and depth to its shadowy sibling, a chocolate-hued leather jacket offers a groovy retro feel that’s equally flattering and fashionable. Particularly suited for an oversized fit, brown leather jackets are the perfect addition to your transeasonal wardrobe. 

 

Red leather jackets

So it might not be as au naturale, but a red leather jacket makes for a bombshell moment that has us sold. In fact, a pop of red is making the rounds all over the fashion scene, so whether you opt for a deep burgundy or cherry tones, a red leather jacket simply doesn’t miss.
