The message is loud and clear: you need a leather jacket in your life this fall. From the spring/summer 2025 fashion shows to the streets, the leather jacket has firmly established itself as the must-have piece of the season.
While classic outerwear like macs, trenches, and sporty bombers are always in style, the spotlight is undeniably on the leather jacket. The Hadid sisters have been champions of the gently sloped shoulder style, and this chic look is dominating street style photos across the globe. Forget the biker babe vibe; this season is all about Left Bank cool.
Size up for that effortlessly chic look straight from a Saint Laurent presentation. Don’t be afraid to experiment with chocolate-brown hues before settling on the classic black. But if you’re looking for a statement piece, consider a rust-tinged leather jacket—it’s a trend that’s turning heads on both sides of the Atlantic. Even Zayn Malik, a surprise guest at SS25, was spotted rocking this unique look.
So, while you’re mulling over your bigger fashion purchases, here are 34 autumn jacket ideas to get you inspired. But remember, a leather jacket is just the beginning. You’ll need that perfect winter coat too!
