EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE JACKET IS BACK FOR AUTUMN

Call it a timeless staple or a statement layer, the leather jacket will always be famous. Beloved by bikers in Brooklyn and models in Mayfair, it’s a piece worth having on hand, as – short of a wetsuit – there’s very little you can’t style one with. And while newbies may feel intimidated by their rugged reputation, everyone suits a leather jacket. It’s just about finding your personal style.

ASOS DESIGN faux leather funnel neck jacket in chocolate brown, £85

 

A firm favourite amongst the fashion lot, leather bomber jackets are a natural choice for first timers. The silhouette is both casual and timeless, so easy to style with your basic jeans and white tee. The slightly sculpted waistline also makes this a flattering choice whether it's cropped or oversized. Funnel necks are dominating autumn moodboards, making this chocolate brown number a must-have. Pair with capri leggings and heeled sandals for a 90s supermodel feel, or baggy jeans and loafers for effortless old-money style.

ASOS DESIGN cinched waist leather look harrington jacket in dark blue, £70

 

Structured silhouettes are all the rage right now – and if leather jackets lean too masculine for your usual roster, consider a cinched piece your new weapon of choice. ASOS DESIGN has you covered with this faux-leather Harrington, available in navy, black or seasonal mocha. It’s an elevated spin on your usual wet-weather layer, balancing sporty codes with sleek structure for the perfect day-to-night jacket.

Allsaints reed leather jacket in brown, £499

 

Nothing screams autumn like a trench, except maybe a pumpkin-spiced candle. You probably already have a trench in your arsenal, but leather breathes fresh life into this transitional staple. Bonus points for a cropped shape, which is easier to wear day-to-day. We’re loving this burgundy jacket from leather legend AllSaints, with an oversized collar you can button up or wear wide depending on the mood and forecast.

Bolongaro Trevor Real leather amora biker jacket in black, £240

 

When all’s said and done, a classic biker jacket always has a place in your transitional wardrobe. With sleek hardware, a boxy fit and dose of old-school charm, this famous silhouette has stood the test of time. For a true ode to the biker jacket, opt for a simple boxy shape like this number from Bolongaro Trevor. Crafted in real leather with textured shoulders and a gently cropped waistline, it was destined for a structured trouser and penny loafer. Whip it out whenever you want to look crisp and put-together – but still a little edgy.
