Wearing A Leather Jacket

For a little while now my leather jacket has been tucked away, hidden in the back of my closet. This is in large part because I only seem to wear my warmest coat possible these days, but it's also because I'm stuck on how to wear it. I know this may sound silly but I always feel like my leather jacket never looks good when I put it on. I love the way leather jackets look on other people, but I always feel mine comes up short. Either way, I thought why not pull some inspiration from some of my favourite bloggers to help me figure out this leather jacket "situation". As I was searching around for some inspiration, I noticed that many people styled their jackets in three ways, casual, everyday and dressy. I think I'll start with a casual look (can't be that hard can it?) and hopefully progress from there! I'll let you all know how it goes...

I like how these casual styles make it seem easy to throw your jacket on and go. Pairing a leather jacket with jeans or even a simple dress is such an easy way to begin to wear it.  Adding sneakers and a sweater to the look make it perfect for a weekend outfit or when you need to run some errands.

These everyday looks combine dressier elements (skirts & heels), but then are dressed down once the leather jacket is on. I love this idea of wearing a skirt and layering a leather jacket on top to keep it simple for an everyday look. This is also a great idea for spring time, as the weather begins to get warmer, a leather jacket will be perfect for layering over skirts or fun printed pants.

Finally, unlike the everyday looks that are more dressed down, these looks are still dressy with the help of a leather jacket. The details in each outfit are primarily dressy, heels with a skirt and nice top. They add a leather jacket, but it still maintains that dressed up feel. This is a perfect option for going out at night or having drinks with friends, and a leather jacket will keep you warm during the cooler spring nights!
