Leather jackets are the Tom Cruise of clothing: never getting old, never leaving the limelight, everybody’s absolute favourite! They are the timeless wardrobe staple of people all around the globe, where people style it differently according to different cultures, thereby setting new trends every year!

This is meant to happen, thanks to the maddening variety of women’s leather jackets being produced globally. You can literally find one in every colour and every shape, not to mention the varieties in terms of material! With all the amazing styling possibilities that come with all these overwhelming varieties of leather jackets, women have specially become obsessed with them! If you too find yourself going gaga over the emerging trends, brace yourselves, for we’re going to introduce you to the top 5 leather jacket trends of 2023.

Minimal Black Biker Jacket
The fashion scene of the world is becoming increasingly sophisticated and minimal with every passing day, and it’s especially the case in 2023.

Therefore, our first trend is a typically minimalist one: featuring a simple, sleek, typical black biker jacket. We have selected black colour because of its timeless class and stylish appeal, which surpasses every age and trend. This type of a classic biker jacket doesn’t have any added frills or embroideries that’s seen in the newer ones, rather it has all the features of a truly “classic” biker jacket: a roughly textured leather with a broad collar, asymmetrical zips, tailored perfectly to fit the curves of your body. The half zips that go up the middle of the sleeves will give you a chic, sexy look that’ll make people turn heads to admire your style!

What’s more, you can easily style this type of jacket with a skirt, pants, or even a dress; its simplistic look will work with nearly anything and everything!

Pretty Leather Trench
While leather jackets have this distinct badass, chic vibe to them, they can also be styled to give you a very feminine and pretty look. So, girlies that want to look stylish and super pretty at the same time, this trend is for you!

Our second trend features a long leather trench, which can beautifully elevate the aesthetic of your dress when you’re going to a party, or on a date, or simply on a night out with your girlies.

The thing about leather trenches is that they give you a perfect blend of a modern+classic look. For example, you can wear a simple dress (any colour), with a leather trench of the same colour over it. The same colour layering will enhance the overall look of your outfit, so that both the dress and the leather trench will be equally emphasised. You can finish off this look with a pair of platform boots, or sneakers, to add a hint of classical touch to it.

Badass Browns
If there’s any colour that comes next to black in terms of class and fashion, it has to be brown! This season is going to be all about different shades of brown, and you’re going to love it!

Browns are the perfect representation of style, sophistication and versatility. This year, women’s leather jackets in different shades and hues of brown are on the forefront of the fashion scene. From nutty brown, deep brown, dark brown to tans, people are seen donning brown leather jackets this year more than ever. People want to strike a balance between looking vintage and looking modern, and wearing a brown leather jacket is the perfect way to do so!

You can style a brown leather jacket by pairing it up with a solid white coloured undershirt, and wear flared jeans with it. Finish off the look with simple black boots, and you’re sure to look bomb!

Look Bomb With Bombers
You thought the leather bombers took way too much attention last year, and so they stand no chance to be in trend this year?!? N-o-p-e! The bombers aren’t going out of the fashion scene anytime soon! In fact, they are to stay this year with even greater force.

Leather bomber jackets have an appeal of their own, whether we talk about the traditional ones or the modern ones. Even the celebs have an undying affection for the leather bombers (have you seen Hailey Bieber donning them in her insta pics, or the evergreen beauty queen Rihanna posing in an oversized bomber?), so they have enough reason already to be popular among the common masses.

Beige, brown, black, olive-this season is about bombers of all colours! 

Oversized Flight Jackets
Let’s be honest, an oversized aviator leather jacket looks extremely cool for some reason. And if it has fur shearling, then dayummm! It’s not just us, but there’s actually something very cool about aviator jackets. And you’ll see them this season everywhere!

This season, oversized flight (aviator) jackets are back in fashion, and you’re going to see them styled in crazy ways. People nowadays have a greater inclination towards vintage fashion looks, and a look that incorporates a leather flight jacket screams vintage! But that doesn’t mean you’ll look old school in it! Nope! If you have a knack for fashion, you can create an extremely hot look with a flight jacket.

Here’s a tip: buy an oversized flight leather jacket having beige fur shearling, and wear a cropped white tee underneath and couple it up with beige (the colour of the fur shearling) oversized flared pants. Do smokey eye makeup to add a whole lot of hotness to the look. And yes, don’t forget to wear a sparkly necklace to add a statement jewellery piece to your attire. Try this exact look, and thank us later!

Conclusion
Leather jacket trends change every year, adding new and exciting twists and turns to it. The above-mentioned 5 leather jacket trends are hands down the most popular ones to appear in 2023’s fashion scene. So, take all the inspiration that you can from them, and take your style game to the next level this year!

Can you wear different types of leather together?
Different types of leather together give a modern and stylish look to an outfit. Full-grain, calfskin, lambskin, snakeskin, crocodile, and sheepskin are some of the different types of leather that shoes, handbags, and accessories are made from. Many times they have different textures/finishes (pebbled, washed, wrinkled) and are dyed in different colors. When mixing leather stick to no more than two or three different textures in an outfit. Go ahead and mix your leather. For example, a lambskin skirt with a snakeskin handbag looks very chic. Handbags and shoes can have different textures and/or colors. Experiment to see how different leather textures and colors look together.

Can I wear a tan leather, cycle jacket with a black dress?
Your tan leather cycle jacket is a great investment. Black and brown color combinations are awesome together. Your tan leather cycle jacket would look great with a black cotton dress plus many other outfits.  If you are wearing your outfit to an informal fun event wear casual shoes such as flats, ankle boots or sneakers.  For a special event, dinner at a nice restaurant or if you just want to dress up, wear heels with your outfit. This season sneakers are worn with casual and dressy clothes.
