“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.

The shoulders on this jacket give it such a fun and edgy look! Love how you styled it with a side braid and those adorable Sole Society flats. Great way to elevate jeans and a t-shirt! 🙂

What an amazing jacket, Ashley! It has such wonderful little details everywhere! Love how you changed up this whole look with it.
I love how the jacket totally changes the feel of this outfit! Great styling!
Wow, this jacket is beyond fantastic! The structured and interesting lines make it so special. I have also been living in my leather jackets- they match everything 🙂

So you may not believe me but I don’t own several leather jackets… in fact I don’t even own ONE! I think that I need to change that ASAP. Loving the shoulders on this jacket! You look fab as always.

That is SUCH a cool jacket! What a conversation piece. Can’t believe it’s from Asos. I was expecting a high end designer name. You wear it so well!
