What To Wear With A Leather Jacket

There’s nothing quite like a classic leather jacket. The leather jacket should be a staple in any well-rounded wardrobe. It’s a piece that transitions effortlessly from season to season and will never go out of fashion.

There are few fashion items that manage to stand the test of time, but thanks to the leather jacket coming packed with attitude, history and a host of major style icons having capitalised on their cult appeal, it comes as no surprise that the leather jacket is still going strong in the world of fashion.

From Madonna to Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and Drew Barrymore, these cool-girl fashion icons all have one thing in common – a great leather jacket. With their edgy vibes and timeless allure, having a leather jacket in your wardrobe is something you can’t go wrong with.

But if you’re unsure what to wear with your leather jacket then have no fear. They’re super easy to style and go with literally everything in your wardrobe. There is nothing a leather jacket can’t fix.

So to give you an idea of just how versatile they are, whether you’re looking to wear the leather jacket as a statement piece, over another of the season's trends or keep it super casual, we’ve got you covered with 20 different modern ways you can wear the leather jacket, as inspired by our favourite celebs.

1. Oversized

If there’s one thing we love more than a leather jacket, it’s an oversized leather jacket. And Hailey Bieber pulls this off perfectly. By pairing black mom jeans with a strappy cami top and heels, the oversized leather jacket pulls the outfit together perfectly. Make it easy and buy the jacket in a few sizes bigger than your normal size to get the oversized look.

2. With a Midi Dress and Trainers

Ultimately, there is no one cooler than Alexa Chung. And she pulls off the leather jacket so effortlessly. So if Alexa is wearing a leather jacket with a midi dress and trainers, we certainly will be too.

3. With Kick-Flare Jeans

We love the leather jacket paired back with Kick Flared Jeans. Kaia Gerber shows us that this is easy to style and can be worn to all different events, whether you’re going to a concert, out with friends or just as a casual outfit.

4. With a Slip Dress

The leather jacket works perfectly for an added layer on a night out. The jacket will keep you warm as the night comes to a close and of course looks super stylish over a slip dress as displayed by Chanel Iman.

5. With Joggers

On those days where you’re running around like a headless chicken and just don’t have the time or willpower to get dressed properly, the leather jacket is the perfect piece to wear with your joggers. So take inspiration from Kourtney Kardashian on those days where there aren’t enough hours and know that it is perfectly acceptable to go out in joggers, trainers and a leather jacket.

6. With Blue Jeans

Though you might be tempted to always wear a leather jacket with black jeans, there is proof in the pudding that they also look great with a pair of blue jeans. Kate Bosworth styles her leather jacket with blue bootcut jeans, a white t-shirt and heeled boots, accessorised with a neck scarf.

7. With a Boho Style Dress

Bohemian-style, ruffled dresses will be taking over our wardrobes this summer. So to look ahead to brighter times and take inspiration from Taylor Hill, who wears her leather jacket with a white bohemian-style mini dress and black biker boots.
