Leather Jackets - A Timeless Trend

Our leather jackets are one of our favorite pieces in our wardrobe but unfortunately the weather in Dubai doesn’t allow us to wear them throughout the year (else we would practically be living in them). With Virgin Radio officially declaring that “it’s getting a lot cooler”, we can’t wait to strut this ultimate fall fashion staple.

Leather jackets are one of those versatile pieces because of their subtle ability to remain appropriate for work and play. And while dropping serious dirhams on this item can seem daunting, trust me when we say this letting go of a few dirhams (ok not a few a lot) is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your closet (Promise..you’ll see why). Instead of opting for pleather (that you will see everywhere, some that cost quite a bit but will only last you a few years), place your bucks on the real thing that will last you decades.

A great leather jacket will take you from day to night, Sunday through to Saturday. They are timeless and can never go out of style. Throw it over a chic dress for work, miniskirt at night, light blouses and floral dresses at brunch and distressed denims on the weekends. The longer you have them, the more awesome they look! If you are worried about repetition, don’t, because with winter coming up, they work as great layering pieces.

When going shopping, contemplate long and hard about your personal style and pick a leather jacket that fits you and your style best—you will be able to wear it for years to come. This trend can be found in a range of silhouettes, from the most classic and streamlined to the cute and cropped to the edgiest motorcycle jacket.

We have listed some tried and tested ideas on how you can wear your leather jacket:

• Wear it instead of your work blazer

• Wear it with a maxi

• Pair it with your weekend or off-duty comfies like tracks and tees

• Mix it with your button down shirts for a preppy twist

• Wear it with stripes

• Work it with sneakers

• Throw it over a sexy LBD

• Pair it with printed skirts

• Wear it with statement accessories

• Don it with a pencil skirt

• Toughen up a candy colored dress

• Pair it with your black skinnies
