STYLE GURU STYLE: Leather Jackets

Fall is officially upon us and an essential piece of any fall wardrobe is a leather jacket. A leather jacket is not only perfectly edgy and cute but also functional, because it keeps you warm on those chilly fall days. I purchased this leather jacket over the summer, when I was building my capsule wardrobe. I realized I had a closet full of clothing that could only be worn a specific way as well as no wardrobe basics. A leather jacket was an item high on my shopping list. My leather jacket is from the brand MANGO and I absolutely love it! It has a very fifties feel to it and can be paired with so many outfits.

A leather jacket is such an essential, especially in college, because it can elevate basic leggings and a T-shirt to make a completed look. I paired my leather jacket with a T-shirt, black jeans and my go-to shoe, my slip-on Vans. My accessories of choice are a pair of aviator sunnies from Target and a statement necklace from Francesca’s.

Leather jackets have become such a timeless piece that date back to the first World War, when fighter pilots used to wear leather bombers. Then, continuing on to the 1920s, the first motorcycle jacket was sold at Harley Davidson for only $5.50. Leather jackets have been such a staple throughout the 19th century and continue to be a highly worn garment among people of all ages. Regardless of your style or shape, I believe a leather jacket looks good on just about anyone, making it a necessity for any Fashionista or Fashionisto.
