Spring is officially here, and with that, the period of transitional weather has also arrived. Whether I’m toying between a chunky knit or a linen shirt, or wanting to dress for the spring sun whilst also preparing in case of a downpour, I often find myself staring at my wardrobe in the mornings unsure how to even dress myself for a potentially temperamental day of British weather. Want to know the answer? Jackets. Although spring might make you think of pastels, florals and flowy dresses, it doesn’t mean you have to leave statement wardrobe items behind. Enter the classic leather jacket; from biker cuts to moto styles, whether you’re looking for that perfect throw-on number or want to add a slight edge to your look, this season, the focus is on leather.
Chances are you already own a leather jacket, and if like me you're in need of some fresh inspiration for how to wear it for the season ahead, you're in luck. Keep reading to discover four leather jacket outfits that I’ll be sporting this spring. You're welcome.
1. Moto Jacket + Turn-Up Jeans + Colourful Trainers
Style Notes: If you want to add an element of edginess to your outfit, pair a leather moto jacket with a fun graphic T-shirt. Style with straight-leg jeans and some colourful trainers.
Shop the Look:
Introducing the classic biker style's cool younger sister, the moto jacket.
A graphic Ganni tee is always my go-to when the sun is shining.
Turn-up jeans are a big denim trend for 2024, and this straight-leg pair from Zara will become a new wardrobe essential.
I love the simplicity of this hardware.
Adidas Gazelles are such an easy way to add a pop of colour to your outfit without being overbearing.
A Loewe Puzzle speaks for itself—a dream accessory addition to any wardrobe.
2. Classic Biker Jacket + Floral Midi Dress + Chunky Sandals
Style Notes: Of course, we can't say no to a floral dress in spring, even on not-so-warm days. Simply throw a classic biker jacket over the top to avoid the chill before slipping into chunky dad sandals and accessorising with a pair of cat-eye sunnies.
Shop the Look:
A classic black biker jacket is one of those go-to throw-on pieces we all know and love.
We can't talk spring without including a floral print. I can picture this silk number dressed up with a pair of strappy heels for smarter events or styled with a pair of sneakers for an effortless off-duty look.
Chunky velcro sandals are such a love-hate item. Personally, I love them, but you can always swap them out for a daintier style.
Hear me out: patent leather is having a comeback.
Topshop has a great offering of affordable eyewear for the summer ahead.
No need to choose between gold and silver when you can pick both with these hoops.
3. Brown Leather Jacket + Striped Button-Down + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: A warm-toned brown leather jacket is a great alternative to a staple black style. Pop on a striped button-down, a pair of tailored trousers and some Mary Janes, and you've nailed effortless layering.
Shop the Look:
Yes to this faded chocolate biker style.
There's something about a blue striped button-down that screams spring.
These tailored trousers are loved for their cut and fit.
I don't know about you, but I'm still not over the Mary Janes trend.
Wear this sleek woven bag on the shoulder or as a crossbody.
4. Khaki Leather Jacket + Denim Maxi Skirt + Boots
Style Notes: Soft khaki is the perfect shade for springtime. Style a lightweight knitted jumper with a denim maxi skirt and add a khaki leather shacket and some complementing accessories to champion transitional dressing.
Shop the Look:
Just in—Whistles dropped a brand new colourway of its best-selling viral leather jacket.
If you're looking to invest in a quality knit, H&M has you covered with this cosy silk-blend jumper.
Now that temperatures are slowly rising we can bring our denim skirts out of hibernation.
These can be styled all year round.
I love a bucket bag in the warmer months.
