Anyone who has decided to get away from leather in a different way is well advised with these new leather jacket styles.
Yes, the leather jacket has been celebrating a wild celebration in the fashion Olympus since the 20th century. The rough pieces became real screen heroes on acting stars, whether on Garry Cooper in “For Whom the Bell Tolls” or on Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones”: leather jackets are a part of pop culture and their design has adapted over the years and has become so popular Trend hustle and bustle kept afloat. Whether it was a casual biker model with a lapel collar, rivets and a belt in the 90s or a tight cut with a classic collar like “The Vampire Diaries” star Damon Salvatore: Who wouldn’t have liked to borrow the hot vampire’s tight leather jacket in the 10s? to combine them with cute floral dresses? However, that is now over (for now). Leather jackets are now oversized and voluminous, but also with a straight cut. The stylish jackets dance between comfort, elegance and modernity.
Leather jackets now look like this: 1. Voluminous and cropped
Boxy alone isn’t enough with this trend – and just volume isn’t enough either. Leather jackets now combine the best of both worlds, have an oversized cut, but still emphasize the waist thanks to their short cut. The models appear vintage and futuristic at the same time. A turned-down, wider collar can be combined with a contrasting seam, but the jacket also looks great in chocolate brown with a small collar. It’s all in the mix!

The possible combinations are numerous. In everyday life, the puffer jacket gives a style consisting of blue jeans, black basics and ankle boots with stiletto heels new esprit. Heavy boots should be avoided as they could look too bulky with the bulky jacket. The leather model looks playful and sweet when styled with long skirts. How about a powder blue A-line skirt with box pleats? Or a pencil model with a tight cut? It’s worth using different textures to give the leather look more depth.
2. The elegant, straight cut
Powerful looks take up the space. But sometimes things can be more subtle. The key word is chic with a cut. The leather jackets have a wafer-thin design, appear elegant thanks to the fine fabric and timeless thanks to their straight-line design. Above all, a small button placket adds even more classic style to the style – but there’s nothing wrong with a (hidden!) zipper either.

The leather jacket is an excellent companion for the evening and complements long dresses or even a little black dress in a totally tasteful way. Classic blazers or long coats are practically obsolete and can make themselves comfortable in the wardrobe. If the style is too glamorous and conservative for you, you can add more comfort to the jacket with casual pieces, such as a bright shirt with a logo or casually cut jeans.
3. Vintage look
They look like a relic from our grandparents: used-look leather jackets. The hems of the jacket appear to be worn, the color is unevenly distributed and a little faded. Plain and simple, as if the jacket had already seen its best days. In fact, it’s shopped in the store in exactly that style.

The retro jackets find their ideal counterpart in bright knitted sweaters. Lively azure blue, sensual red or bright yellow: the soft pieces give the look intensity. Even nicer: a turtleneck! It protrudes from the jacket, adding even more excitement to the look. Suit trousers in earthy colors complete the look and make you even more happy about an outfit that is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher.
