Wardrobe Classic: The Leather Jacket


The Leather Jacket KEEPS FOREVER

Delve into a women’s wardrobe and no doubt you will find a leather jacket.


An enduring piece, it can work with almost anything. 



Why do we deem the Leather Jacket a Wardrobe Classic?


* Simple yet practical. An essential to invest in and a timeless piece that keeps forever.


* Dressed up or down, it is the perfect option for the in-between weather we struggle to dress in. Being able to layer our pieces is essential.


* Not defined as a groundbreaking new fashion piece but as a reoccurring go-to item. On a cost-per-wear basis, it wins every time.


* A wearable jacket for women of all ages, there is a style to suit everyone.


We just need to find the right one for us.



Slim Fit or Oversized

For a chic, contemporary look there is the slim fit design. For a rock n’ roll effect; an oversized boyfriend style is an alternative.


Elegant Approach to Dark Edge

An iconic black leather jacket. It is edgy, maybe too edgy for some of us. However, there are elegant ways to approach it.

Style with feminine pieces to create a contrast – such as a loose silk shirt dress.


Bells and Whistles

We’ve seen dramatic styles develop over the years. Defiant metal zipper details, statement collars, padded shoulders and asymmetrical front sides all deliver strong features to a classic piece, making it so effortless to style.


Colour Wheel 

Classic black always springs to mind when we think of the leather jacket, but there are so many choices.

Try starting with an all-black base outfit and styling with a red leather jacket.


Tassels and Embellishments

When time is not in your favour say it with your leather jacket instead.

Think biker-girl plus embroidery, buckles, studs and tassels.



Dreaming of the go-to-combo, just picture it.

A buttery, soft leather jacket paired with a simple white tee and your favourite pair of jeans.


Our lightweight classic is calling.
