If the leather jacket isn’t the first item that comes to mind when you think of fall fashion, then you’ve got some serious explaining to do. What began as a necessity of military uniforms, the leather jacket has inched its way into the fashion industry throughout the past century. From biker gangs to rockstars and every group in between, this quintessential piece is now a staple in pretty much all wardrobes of Fashionistas/os around the world.
This season is the perfect opportunity for you to bring your leather jacket to life. The cold weather not only gives you the ability to layer up, but it also allows more room for creativity when it comes to styling your look. The leather jacket is incredibly versatile and quite frankly, anyone who decides to give it a go becomes instantly cooler in my book. Celebrities, designers, and students alike can share their love for this fall “it” item. Here are some tips on how you can try this look yourself courtesy of your fellow Fashionista/os!
