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.
