To prove to you just how versatile a leather jacket can be, we want to give you some leather jacket dos and don’ts.

How to wear a leather jacket

  • We find that leather jackets go really well with boots, heels, or even trainers. Your choice of shoes can set the tone for the whole look. Casual or smart, your leather jacket will be a great piece to pull the look together.
  • Layer your leather jacket with a cashmere jumper, a scarf, or an overcoat to keep warm and stylish on cooler days.
  • For more casual days, pair with leggings and a jumper underneath.
  • For smart occasions, wear a leather jacket over a dress or skirt for a trendy twist to your outfit. 
  • Leather jackets are also suitable to wear to meetings, as long as you have kept it clean and wear it with a smart shirt or skirt. If you’re worried about cleaning your leather jacket - check out our guide on how to keep your leather jacket clean here!

The Classic Biker Leather Jacket

The first thing that comes to mind when you think ‘leather jacket’ is the classic Motorcycle Leather Jacket style. With its silver hardware and wide lapel, it is easily recognisable. Pair it with a t-shirt and jeans for a laid back look, or a mini-skirt for the rocker-chic vibe. 

Why not pair the Angie Jacket with the Jamie jeans, or the Sienna Miniskirt for the ultimate classic leather jacket look.

Top style tip! You can pair your jacket with heels or trainers - both look great depending on the time of day and occasion!

The Cropped Leather Jacket

With a little more shape than the classic biker, a little leather jacket can be thrown over almost anything to add sophistication and style. Pair it with something high-waisted to show off your waist. Wide leg trousers are great to balance proportions, or a skirt will keep you looking super chic!
Try styling the Amelie with our Johnny trousers or the Lucy skirt to nail your cropped leather jacket look! 

The Leather Blazer

This style has got 90s cool written all over it. A little longer in the body, it looks great with skinny fitting trousers underneath! 

Pair the Jinx with jeans to channel Kaia Gerber vibes.

The Leather Trench

The trench is the ultimate leather jacket variation in our opinion. A SKIIM style staple, it is sexy and sophisticated, whilst being chic and effortlessly cool. Like all leather jackets, it can also be dressed up or down!

For a more laid back look, pair the Karla with the Gabby jogger and heels.

For a sophisticated, sexy look, style the Karla with the Natalie trousers and a sexy top! You will be turning heads in no time!
