Must-Have Women’s Leather Jackets

Finding the perfect leather jacket is an annual rite of passage. Finding the ultimate layer that matches your personal style is an exciting exploration.

For us, a leather jacket is a staple in any wardrobe. From a basic black leather fitted blazer to a funky contrasting panel biker jacket; a leather jacket comes in many forms so it can support in styling an outfit for both elegance, as well as to those who want to make a statement. 

If you’re on the hunt for an eye-catching leather jacket, there is a vast amount of choice out there.  To help you decide, here are our current favorites:

Leather Racer Jacket

Leather Racer Jacket

Get racing-ready with a leather moto jacket. We are loving these feminine re-takes on biker jackets as they ooze style and can be dressed up or down making them an essential piece in any wardrobe.

You’ve most likely already seen these iconic women’s leather racer jackets being worn by celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa, and Zara Martin to name a few. Moto jackets are inspired by racing and motorsports – but don’t need to be a motorsports fan to appreciate these gorgeous designs that complement any outfit.

Their popularity comes from their fiercely feminine fit that accentuates your natural curves. Extreme femininity is a theme for 2024 so expect to see a lot more of this as the year rolls out. This form-fitting look is achieved by a short hem, single-breasted wrap collar, and darted waist. If you’re after a classic look, opt for a simple black moto jacket with a matching black maxi dress.

Or alternatively, make a statement with a motorsport jacket with applique racing badges. These effortless F1-esque jackets would pair perfectly with a white tee, mini skirt, and chunky knee-high boots but could look equally amazing with sneakers – win!

Leather Blazers

We all know the sartorial power that a blazer holds, so trust us when we say that a leather blazer is an investment that you should make this season. Whether you wear it to smarten up your casual office look, donned with smart jeans and sneakers, or you turn up the heat and pair it with a little black dress and thigh-high heeled boots, there are a wide range of looks you can achieve for all various events in your 2024 calendar.

Unlike the other women’s leather jackets circulating this season, the leather blazer offers you duality. You have the option to style this leather piece as either outerwear to keep away the chill or as a stylish layer that completes your full look. One thing to remember is that just because it’s leather, doesn’t mean that it has to be black – it’s 2024 so get as experimental as you like.

Leather Bomber Jackets

Toughen up your wardrobe with a leather bomber jacket. Bomber jackets are now a key staple in street style. We love super slouchy yet sleek bomber jackets that exude effortless energy. 

Instead of opting for the sacred “jeans and a nice top” combo on your next night out, why not reach for a leather bomber and pair it with a silky slip dress and mule heels? For something a little more relaxed, go down the athleisure route with a comfy co-ord and a contemporary racing bomber jacket.

Leather Trench Coat

Say hello to full-on Matrix vibes with this season’s longline favorite: the leather trench coat. Over the last couple of months, we’ve seen A-listers such as Hailey Bieber and Salma Hayek donning these waist-cinching jackets and we couldn’t be more obsessed.

Neo-inspired black leather trench coats are a popular pick but there are also plenty of warm shades such as brown and tan. The leather trench comes in many forms; from oversized and ankle length to elegant form-fitting options as short as mid-thigh. Find yourself a unique vintage piece or go for a classic look with a wild mohair collar.

Leather Biker Jackets

Who doesn’t love a biker jacket?  Accentuating the waist and refining the shoulders, biker jackets give you a great silhouette, so they are a perfect choice for any body shape.  There’s a vast range of styles from plain everyday options to biker jackets with multicolored panels that are adorned with graffiti and studs – and a whole range of options in between. 

Style it out with double lapels and zip detailing. We love biker jackets that give outfits a pop of color.  For spring/summer 2024 expect the color trends to include pale pastels like mint, lilac, and lemon, as well as vibrant blues.

You can pair a biker jacket with practically anything, jeans and a tee, a dress and heels, or even over-the-knee boots and a short skirt.

Leather jackets are warm, lightweight, and wearable across seasons.  We love that they are timeless so investing in one, or serval pieces always pays off. After all, you can never have too many leather jackets!
