5 Favorite Leather Jackets

For those of you lucky enough to not be living in the Northeast and enduring the psychological trauma of snow in October, a leather jacket is something that will sevre you well all winter long. Here are five of my favorite leather picks for all of you collegiettes™ who aren’t bound to a parka this season. 

Fallon Leather Bomber, Abercrombie & Fitch ($300)

Personally, I try to stay away from anything bearing any obnoxious logos, but this leather bomber is the exception to that rule. It’s got that perfect worn-in look that will complement any outfit.

 

 

Perforated Crop Biker Jacket, Forever 21 ($34.80)

This biker jacket will add an instant dash of edginess to even the most casual look (and you really can’t go wrong for $34!) 

 

Imitation Pilot Jacket, H&M ($49.95)

Something about this jacket just makes me want to go hang out on a ranch somewhere. It must be the fur lining!

 

Lambskin Motocross Jacket, J.Crew ($895.00)

I know, I know. It’s almost $900. Trust me when I say that this is definitely an item to splurge on. The tailored, cropped fit is a classic, timeless look that will not go out of style. Invest in this piece and it is something you can wear for years to come!

 


Paneled Leather Jacket
, GAP ($149.99) 

I love, love, love the look of this jacket (and its reasonable pricetag!) A classic black leather jacket is something you can pair with jeans and a tee or your favorite going out dress. This sophisticated style will translate into your post-collegiette™ wardrobe too!

There you have it, ladies. My 5 favorite leather pieces. While I wrap myself in a down jacket, go out and rock these hot jackets this winter!
