Striking Leather Jackets That Never Go Out Of Style

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

Like a pair of white sneakers or a black blazer, a leather jacket is a must-have in every closet. Why? Because they never go out of style. Why? Because there's no denying leather jackets are the *perfect* transitional outerwear piece, especially when heading into fall. Toss one over your favorite dress or plaid flannel to ward off a slight chill, or layer it under a warm coat when the weather demands it.

But that doesn't mean there aren't new cool versions to consider. While some classic bestsellers remain a hit among the fashion set every season, brands are constantly releasing fresh, modern takes on the timeless jacket.

With so many iterations to choose from, it can be hard to pick just one. (Do you want authentic leather or faux leather? A fitted silhouette or an oversize one?) Edgy motorcycle styles with hardware always come to mind, but there are other equally versatile silhouettes that are just as chic. For example: Try an oversize bomber jacket, a minimal draped zip-up, a cool puffer, or a cropped style. Above all, remember that the perfect leather jacket does exist—you might just have to do some research to meet your ideal match.

That's where we come in. We scoured our favorite brands and retailers to curate stylish options at every price point, from under-$100 buys from brands like Levi's to splurge-worthy pieces from labels like AllSaints and Madewell. We also have an extensive range of sizes covered, from petites to plus size. And whether you're keen on smooth calf leather or a vegan option, there's something for everyone. Keep scrolling to shop our picks for the best leather jackets to scoop up ASAP.
