"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

The familiar aroma of autumn air and the sound of crunching leaves beneath our comfy boots reminds us that it’s time to dig into our closets and dust off our best leather blazers. And yes, we said blazers, plural, because we believe you can never have too many. As Sarah Staudinger, co-founder and creative director of Staud, notes, they're “an easy and versatile piece to layer over anything.”

Anytime you wear a blazer-centric outfit, you exude It-girl vibes with hardly any effort. “I love how they bring just the right amount of edge to an outfit, and can easily transition from a day-time look at the office to a sleek night out,” says Emma Grede, CEO and co-founder of Good American.

Grede often styles her leather blazer with more casual pieces for a blend of relaxed and structured elements. “[My] favorite go-to look is a leather blazer with Good American denim and a bodysuit, because I know I can dress it up with heels or pair it with sneakers,” she adds.

If you’re looking for additional leather blazer style inspiration, turn to the celebrities who've worn them with finesse this fall. Exhibit A: Taylor Swift’s recent outfit, consisting of a rich brown leather blazer, a tight black top, and a corduroy miniskirt.

Ahead, find the 15 best leather blazers to bring an equally photo-worthy update to your fall and winter wardrobe.

Faux Leather Blazer

One of Grede’s must-have fall staples is Good American’s Faux Leather Blazer, from the brand’s Better Than Leather collection. “It has a slightly oversized fit that’s perfect for casual wear with sneakers and denim or [you can pair it] with a dress and heels for a more elevated feel,” she says. Grede also notes that since the blazer is designed with ultra-soft faux leather, there isn’t a sense of stiffness that is generally associated with real leather.

Madden Blazer Whiskey Vegan Leather
