The Leather Jacket

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colgate chapter.

 

Every girl should have a leather jacket- it’s an essential piece for your wardrobe. I bought one four years ago and I’ve never looked back! It’s a piece that can spice up any outfit and that will never go out of style… so if you don’t have one, feel free to splurge. This morning I caught a frantic Carly Reed ’14 on her way to catch a bus wearing a black leather jacket. Throwing this jacket over a casual sweater and leggings really kicks her outfit up a notch. The contrast of the leather with the soft material of her sweater and with its soft green hue really showcases the jacket. Wearing leather jackets with delicate blouses and knits is a great trend for this spring. Free People blogs are showing them worn with flowy white sundresses, lace, and lightweight sweater dresses. Not only is this a great look, but it’s a great way to transition into spring by wearing spring styles and still staying warm in post-winter weather!
