What to wear with a leather jacket for women and men

What is a leather jacket

A leather jacket is a leather jacket, but not any, but a certain style. Its main distinguishing feature is a zipper, which is not sewn vertically, but at an angle. Because of this detail, the jacket got its name in Russia.

It is noteworthy that such an arrangement of the clasp is of a utilitarian nature. The thing first appeared when zippers were still not very strong. If the clasp were sewn vertically, it could come apart when pulled. When the zipper is at an angle, the load on it is reduced.

Another leather jacket is usually distinguished by a fitted silhouette, a turn-down collar, and zippers on the sleeves.

Models differ according to the following criteria:

• Finishing. In principle, a leather jacket can hardly be called a laconic jacket because of the contrasting metal zippers and collar. But the abundance of decor can be different. For example, jackets with a belt are often found. Leather jackets are also complemented with pockets, rivets, spikes, embroidery, shoulder straps, stitching, and so on.

• Material. Classic leather jackets are sewn from leather. But there are also eco-leather models, denim, suede and even raincoats.
• Color. The main option is black, but you can find models of any shade.
• Landing. In recent years, leather jackets have always been relevant and have even become classics. However, the fit of the jacket distinguished the trendiness - in the 2010s they bought models according to the figure, then it was in fashion oversize. Now you can choose any landing, as long as you feel comfortable.

What to wear with a leather jacket

Fit the leather jacket into your wardrobe simple enough. It works well both in a set with congenial things, and in contrast. The jacket is combined with almost everything that the average person usually has in his closet. But, of course, there are always nuances.

Most of the options below are suitable for both men and women, although there will be a few items only for the latter.

With jeans

It would seem that there is nothing to discuss here. The jeans go well with the jacket, period. But it is important to choose the right model of trousers in order to look trendy. Skinny leather jacket takes us straight back to 2008. So it is better to choose a thing with a looser fit.

What shoes to combine with leather jackets

It’s easier to say what it’s difficult to combine with. A simple bow with beach shoes, perhaps, will not work. For the rest, it is better to start not from the jacket, but from the whole image. For example, you decide to wear a leather jacket with dress pants and a hoodie. Sneakers or casual boots will perfectly fit into their company (not classic shoes, they will argue with the top). A female image with a flying dress usually looks good with both rough boots and stilettos. And vice versa: motorcycle boots that suggest themselves with a biker jacket can look great or turn the image into an unsuccessful biker cosplay. So here you can’t do without trying on the image entirely.
