Finding the best men's leather jackets

A classic leather jacket is a wardrobe staple that you'll return to year after year. But, if you're struggling to find the right one, or wanting to find inspiration for leather jackets outfits for men, we're here to help.

Start by finding the right fit for you. We recommend picking one that will complement and enhance your figure. If you have a narrow or straight frame, opt for a bomber jacket that adds welcome volume to your arms whilst bringing definition to your silhouette. If you have narrower shoulders, try a boxy jacket to give the impression of width. Our tip? Chest pockets draw the eye up making your chest appear broader.

What to wear with a black leather jacket for men

A black leather chore jacket offers endless styling opportunities. You can throw it on over most looks, from casual off-duty outfits to smart office-ready edits.

For daytime, pair yours with a T-shirt and washed denim jeans in blue or grey. Then come evening, swap out your trainers for Chelsea boots and add a slick belt to sharpen it up.

If you’re heading to a smart event, try layering it over all-neutral staples, including a fresh cream jumper and smart trousers. We're loving these corduroy trousers with contrasting high-shine boots.

How to style a brown leather jacket for men

Brown leather jackets are just as versatile as black, and thanks to their warm, earthy tone bring more depth to your outfit. We like to layer ours over a soft neutral jumper with deep indigo jeans. Create overall balance by slipping on coordinating brown boots, like this chunky Chelsea style. Bonus points for adding a matching belt.

To dress it up, swap your jeans for chinos. A crisp beige pair will bring welcome contrast and feel instantly polished. Round off your look with smart Derby shoes and a watch.

The denim and leather jacket combination for men

There is no better pairing than leather and denim for creating smart-casual outfits. Tap into the heritage trend by slipping a denim layer below a boxy leather jacket. We're currently coveting this classic two-pocket overshirt, perfect for styling under a distressed Harrington. Dial up the texture by adding a pair of your favourite jeans.

For an undeniably rugged combination, style a leather trucker or biker jacket over a casual shirt, like this burgundy checked option. Then team with ecru jeans and chunky shoes to complete the look.
