21 Black Leather Jackets to Wear From Now Until Forever
A black leather jacket is something you only have to buy once—that is, if you get it right. Every fashion lover knows that a leather jacket is the gift that keeps on giving. It can switch up the vibe of any outfit in a flash, making the simplest looks seem oh-so-chic and turning a sundress into an edgy statement, because it’s always helpful to have a light layer handy when the sun goes down and the temps drop. With so many options out there, finding your leather-clad soulmate is easier said than done.
To help you out, we did the heavy lifting and found 21 perfect black leather jackets that meet all your outerwear needs. Ahead you’ll find everything from on-trend silhouettes to an under-$50 style, and of course, Acne Studios’s iconic moto (AKA every fashion editor’s wardrobe holy grail). You might not wear your leather jacket everyday, but rest assured that you’ll have it for life. Here, find our favorite picks.

Natalia Leather-Look Trench Coat
Apparis
