The Best Faux-Leather Jackets From Zara, H&M, and Mango
What comes to mind when you think of leather jackets? For me, it's always going to be Olivia Newton-John after her biker makeover in Grease. (Side note: If you're still looking for a good Halloween costume, might I suggest Sandy?) While a moto jacket is the quintessential leather style, there are so many other options to choose from, including leather blazers, bombers, and shearling-lined styles.
Below, I rounded up my favorite faux-leather jackets from a trio of our readers' favorite retailers: Zara, H&M, and Mango. Who needs real leather when the artificial options are buttery soft and much more affordable? With plenty of under-$100 options to choose from, there's truly something for everyone in this selection. Scroll down to shop my favorite faux-leather jackets right now.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
