What Makes Leather Coats and Jackets Fashionable

Who wouldn't remember Marianne Faithfull's character Rebecca in “The Girl on a Motorcycle”? A woman wanting freedom and escape from a boring marriage, she dons a full leather riding suit and sweeps through the picturesque landscape of Europe to visit her lover.


With that, however, you don't need to be a motorcycle rider and drive around Europe to wear a leather jacket or coat. Designers from around the world have seen the potential of leather as a stylish material, and here are some reasons why they incorporate it in their collections every year:

Versatility
Leather coats are classic pieces and can be paired with anything! Wear it with your favorite skinny jeans and ballet flats for that laid-back look, or over a dress and military-style boots for a tough rebel chick look. Wearing trendy jewelry pieces can update this simple look.

Protection

Donning leather outerwear during the cold season shields you against light rain, wind, and the chills associated with the winter weather. Leather has natural insulating properties to keep the cold out. Top off the look with a scarf for added protection.

Timelessness
Wearing leather jackets or coats instantly adds oomph to your wardrobe. A simple white shirt combined with tailored pants look classy and chic. Moreover, whatever age you may be, leather never goes out of style as long as you pick the right fit and style for your body type.
