The Black Leather Blazer is Shaping Up to Be Fall's Key Piece
While Labor Day is still firmly in our rearview mirror, summer is already starting to feel like a distant memory. Leaves are turning, temperatures in the Northeast are dropping, and ladies are hitting the streets in any number of black leather blazers. Move over tweedy wools and khaki trenches—we found your new go-to summer-to-fall transition jacket.
Irina Shayk, who has mastered the chic school drop off look in Manhattan, recently stepped out in a floral mini, paired with a J. Brand x Elsa Hosk jacket and lace-up lug sole boots, perfectly melding feminine and tough elements. Emily Ratajkowski took a sportier approach, wearing her longer leather blazer with a neon hoodie, black sunnies, and short bike shorts, appearing like a futuristic vision on the streets of New York. Kaia Gerber went more classic in black shorts, a gray cashmere knit, white New Balance sneakers, and buttery black leather with lapels.
Of course, once the weather truly shifts, all of those minis and bike shorts can easily be swapped out for baggy denim, matching leather trousers for a modified suit, sleek leggings, a knit dress, or classic corduroys. You can also layer chunky sweaters underneath, top with an oversized scarf and beanie, a simple tee, or balance the jacket with a ladylike blouse. The options for this '90s-inspired basic are endless. Shop eight standouts below, from new brands like LE 17 SEPTEMBRE, masters of vegan leather like Nanushka, and go-to labels like Nili Lotan.
