How to style leather jackets

Once a symbol of rebellion, biker jackets have evolved into a surprisingly versatile staple that goes far beyond just off-duty days. With its signature zip details, structured fit and undeniably cool silhouette, it’s the hero layer you'll reach for time and time again.

For that classic edge, layer your biker jacket over a white T-shirt, black jeans and ankle boots. Want something softer? Swap the denim for a floral or satin slip skirt to create a fresh, unexpected twist. Or throw it over chunky knitwear to add structure (and extra warmth) to relaxed layers.

Need proof the biker jacket can go smart-casual? Try it over tailored trousers and a fine knit, or button it up over a crisp shirt for a sharp, contemporary finish. However you wear it, the biker earns its place as a go-to layer with endless potential.

Softer than black but no less impactful, brown leather jackets bring a warm, worn-in feel that works year after year – think classic with a touch of character.

The easiest way to style a brown leather jacket outfit: Blue jeans, a white tee and your favourite boots. Want to take it up a notch? Try tailored trousers and a fine knit, or drape it over a shirt dress for a smarter spin – brown leather feels elevated enough for the office, but with a dialled-down edge that works off the clock, too.

Still unsure how to style a brown leather jacket? Keep it simple. Neutral layers, soft textures, and a little contrast go a long way. Pair with colours that complement the richness of the leather without stealing the spotlight – think soft cream, camel, navy and muted green.
