What to wear with a leather jacket

Jacket season is upon us... and that can only mean one thing, it’s the leather jacket’s time to shine.


But how do you style it the modern way? There have been so many style switch-ups this year, from the arrival of barrel jeans to beaded bags and flip-flops - so where does this timeless classic fit in? We’re here to show you.


Here’s exactly what to wear with a leather jacket.


Our weekly go-to: jeans and a leather jacket


It really doesn’t get simpler, nor more effective than wearing a leather jacket with a crisp white t-shirt and your favourite pair of jeans. Think of it as the Autumn/Winter equivalent of the jeans and a nice top trend.


If you want to lean into western americana styling,  opt for bootcut jeans, or if you want something more contemporary, then pairing with straight or wide-leg jeans is perfect.

Elevating a classic


Don’t be fooled: a leather jacket can be just as modern and chic as any new trending outerwear.


Layer over a midi dress or skirt, slip into a pair of heels and add a pair of dark glasses to achieve true cool-girl vibes that will give you a ton of main character energy.

High-low styling


We love how an urban leather biker jacket looks when paired with something smart and refined. It creates the kind of harmony amidst the chaos that makes the ‘high-low’ aesthetic go so viral.


To get the look, pick out some beautifully tailored trousers, pair them with a cropped vest and layer over your biker jacket.


If we’re talking footwear, then opt for a polished pair of loafers: either black or brown, depending on what matches your jacket. These will pull the look together and keep it looking super polished.

How to wear a brown leather jacket


Because brown leather jackets are such a statement piece, there’s not a whole lot you need to do to make them shine. With that in mind, we suggest keeping colour combos simple and timeless. Besides the obvious black and white, we love wearing brown leather jackets with dark greens and blues.

How to wear a black leather jacket


When it comes to your black leather jacket, you can play around with a lot more colour -almost anything goes. If however, you want a few go-to colours you know you can pull off, we suggest sticking with white, black, grey, and almost any shade of red.
