A good leather jacket is like a fine wine, it only betters with age. It can journey with you from date night, to a work event, to Sunday brunch with the girls. In even better news, investing in a ‘leather look’ piece also doesn’t have to break the bank, because lots of these pieces can be found in nearly every high street store, as well as your classic dreamy designer pieces.
Want to spice up that mini dress? A leather jacket is the answer. Trying to add a little ‘je nais se quoi’ to your white button down and boyfriend jeans? Enter the leather jacket. The opportunities are truly endless, and you’ll look good no matter what the trend climate may dictate. It’s the ultimate versatile wardrobe staple.
Remember that the best leather jackets get softer with time, but retain their shape. (Although, leather does stretch a little after the first few wears, so buy a snug size if you want a close fit.) Naturally, finding The One is hard—it’s a commitment. But we’ve edited the current options with a ferocious, hard-to-please eye, bringing you the greatest leather jackets you can buy right now.
Our pick of leather jackets are so much more than a line-up of black bikers. (However, should a classic moto still make your heart skip a beat, that’s entirely acceptable.) The leather jackets of today range from sleek and sophisticated blazers, leather trenches you’ll want to live in, buttery textures in various colours, and your classic relaxed fit ‘wear it with anything’ Hailey Bieber-style biker.
There really is something for everyone, so scroll down now to shop the crème de la crème of the fashion world’s best leather jackets. Thank us later…
Style Notes: If you like your jackets to err on the minimalist side, look for a leather blazer. A boxy shape makes this the ultimate casual yet elevated piece.
We’re absolutely loving the vintage style boxy fit on this one.
We love how this Ganni blazer cinches in at the waist, helping to define the shape of the jacket. Bonus points for shiny leather.
This double breasted version is particularly compelling.
Opting for a neutral tone can aid in dressing-down an outfit.
Style Notes: Want to opt for a substantial coat to shelter from the cold? Here’s all the proof one needs that leather can be the answer. We’re seeing leather trench coats everywhere, a guaranteed green tick from the fashion crowd.
For style points choose a pair of simple beige trousers and a black vest.
BRB, busy drooling over that buttery leather.
It’s giving boss girl AND cool girl.
We’d pair this beauty with some boyfriend jeans, chunky loafers and a bright bag.
Style Notes: Whether you’re after a cropped shearling jacket to wear over a black mini dress, or want to opt for a layered look, you can never go wrong with this choice. We like to wear ours bundled on top of a chunky knit and paired with some cream tailored trousers.
This leather shearling style by Joseph is a real gem.
We love the belt detail on this one.

The pocket linings? Sold.

You’d never guess this was under £50.
This leather jacket is available in 11 different colours!
This classic style comes in sizes up to UK 24.

This easy-to-style leather bomber jacket is perfect to throw over a simple tee for a chic layered look.
The leather sleeves are a nice contrast.
