“Leather jackets are a girl’s best friend” is quickly becoming my anthem. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
Throw a leather jacket on over any basic outfit to instantly make it cooler, tougher, better. I love jackets with an edge, like this one from ASOS with super strong shoulders. However, moto, 90’s style biker, open + draped front, they all work. Don’t forget faux! There are some really great vegan options available right now. (This jacket from a few weeks back, for example, is a total winner in the faux leather department.)
I started with a really simple look: black long-sleeved tee, skinny olive khakis, and a pair of patent flats. Easy, goes a variety of places (the office, a lunch date, etc.), but gets a quick shot of cool with the addition of this leather jacket. Hello, shoulders!
Shop the look:
I love the darker neutrals here, the touch of patent leather, and the killer lines of the jacket. This bad boy is my current go-to.

So cute! I feel the same way. My faux leather jacket goes far each season. I bought it years ago at Target when my five year-old said, “That jacket makes you look like a spy.” Sold.
Thanks for linking up at Whatcha Wearing Wednesday!

Remember when we almost died shooting this post because the acorns were trying to impale out scalps? Good times.
I do, indeed. Damn squirrels and their nut missiles!
