Luxe Leather

As far as outerwear goes, the leather jacket is often overlooked for more 'practical' options... But what piece of clothing is more iconic than the leather jacket? Think James Dean, the T-Birds in Grease, Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones, Joan Jett, and pretty much any 80's punk band. You might not be immortalized in the leather jacket hall of fame, but who says you can't look like you should be? So put away that peacoat and check out these luxe leather alternatives. From military-inspired bomber jackets and sexy motorcycle versions, to femme three-quarter length sleeves and sophisticated looks with waist ties, there is sure to be one for you.
I alove the dusty beige color of this Mike and Chris Lightweight Leather Jacket. The tab collar and shoulder flap give it an aviator-eque vibe. And the supple lambskin leather looks perfectly worn-in. (As a proper leather jacket should...)









If you have a soft spot for that edgy zippered look (like I do), you will love this Goldsign Astor Leather Bomber Jacket. And the fun cropped look is great if you are on the slim side... Not so much? Look for a hip length option, like this Mackage Bo Moto Jacket instead.









Those looking for a less hardware-laden option will enjoy this slouchy Vince Leather Flight Jacket. It oozes subtle sophistication with its exaggerated collar and low front pockets.










Girlie girls can totally rock the leather look in this prim and proper A Common Thread Three Quarter Sleeve Leather Jacket. Pair it with a sexy pencil skirt for work or straight leg jeans for a casual weekend look.
