Leather Jackets. One trend that refuses to back down! What is it about leather that makes it so popular even after decades of persistent use? It is because leather fashion has progressed with time.
For starters, when leather jackets were first introduced, they were associated with bulky bikers on their Harley-Davidsons. Now, while it has retained various biker-related names, the outerwear is now worn by everyone.
Why? Well, firstly, genuine leather does not wear easily. Hence, once you invest in quality leather jackets, you can rest assured that they will stay a staple in your wardrobe for years to come! And secondly, they can be styled in various ways to serve different needs.
Are you a badass who wishes to reflect your personality through your clothing? It turns out leather jackets can help you in this regard as well! Here are six funky leather jacket styles that will surely help in relaying your badass image.
1. The All Leather Look
We know what you are thinking. Can someone even look cool when sporting all leather? Yes, you can. If you choose the colors of all clothing items as well as the type of leather jacket correctly, you can end up looking the most badass individual in town.
A motorcycle leather jacket looks best for this look. Complement it with flared leather pants and an inner vest. We would suggest opting for the same color for the pants and the leather jacket – our favorite is brown, beige or black! If you have the budget, opt for leather boots as well.
2. Biker jacket with skirt
For the women who wish to strike a balance between their femininity and their badass personality, how about you let your clothes be a representation of it?
It is quite common to see leather jackets worn with dresses. But, to be more impactful, choose to wear a turtleneck cardigan, a black biker jacket, and a pink or beige plaited skirt. This contrast of dark and light shades helps give dimension to the look. And it also makes it seem that you mean business.
Pair it up with sunglasses and a dark lip shade, and voila, you will surely look badass enough to intimidate people on the streets!
3. A long coat like Ryan Gosling
There is just something about Ryan Gosling that makes him look like a badass even when he is doing a romcom.
This image was further reinstated in his fan’s minds after his movie Blade Runner 2049. In fact, now you can find various iterations of the classy long coat he wore in the movie in various apparel stores.
While the original coat may not have been leather, the fact remains that its style was surely badass. And it turns out you can find such coats in quality leather as well! This way, you can enjoy the sophistication the fur collars provide while also being comfortable within the warm leather.
And when you hit the street looking like Officer K with your long leather coat and black sunglasses, you will look invincible.
4. Go bold with your bottoms (and bomber jackets)
Aren’t sure if the ideas mentioned above are funky enough? To be truly eccentric, pair your leather jacket with things they are not conventionally supposed to be paired up with – colorful bottoms.
Bomber jackets particularly look good with this styling. This is because they provide the contrast that you need to truly need to make an impression. In other words, classy from the top, funky from the bottom!
Go as colorful as you want. For example, you can wear red checkered bottoms to celebrate Christmas in the festive seasons. For Thanksgiving, you can wear bright orange culottes. But, by simply wearing a simple bomber jacket on top, you can represent your inner chaotic personality.
5. All black and all studs
Don’t ever pay heed to the haters for those of you who have been told that you wear too much black. There can never be a thing such as too much black, especially for the badass souls! It is the one color that looks great as a solid outfit, regardless of the season or time of day.
To truly elevate the beauty of all-black ensembles and make them funky and cool, think studs. Look for black jackets that are embellished with studs on their shoulders and sleeves. Complement it with a leather skirt that also features the same accessory.
Finish the look with ankle boots with pencil heels, black sunglasses, and hoop earrings. We would suggest you keep your makeup subtle for your outfit to take center stage. Badass, classy, boss lady. Just some adjectives that people would describe you look as. Be ready for the compliments!
6. Customize it!
The best way to truly complement your inner badass is to let your personality decide your clothes for you. In today’s world, fashion has progressed enough to allow you to do so!
Do you want a depiction of Garfield on the back of your leather jacket? Or maybe you want the symbol of Girl Power traced with pearls or studs? Anything and everything is possible – as long as you are willing to bear its price.
Look for quality leather jacket stores around you. See if they sell customized jackets. If they do, all you have to do is pick a style, give your size and share instructions about the specific customization you need.
