Hi there! If you’ve ever wanted to add a little edge to your look, a black leather jacket is the perfect piece for it. They’re an all-weather wardrobe essential that you can wear with just about anything. They pair just as well with jeans as they do a skirt or a dress. There is just something about a black leather jacket that will make your outfit edgy, stylish, and sophisticated! So, if you’re looking for an easy and effortless way to elevate your look with a leather jacket, then today’s blog post is for you.
My first look is a super easy date night look! I love these wide leg blue jeans and the length of this leather jacket was perfect with them.

How to Style Black Leather Jackets
There are so many different types of leather jackets out there, which is perfect for finding the right one! I have two in my closet, and they’re very different. The first one I bought and wear the most is a classic leather jacket that’s more of a leather biker jacket. It’s what I’m wearing above and directly blow. I like that one for the weekend.
I also have a black leather shirt jacket that’s cropped and tailored, which is perfect for work.
When you pick out your leather jacket, I’d think about how you want to wear it the most. If you only want it for the weekend, then a classic leather jacket is the way to go. If you think you’ll use it for the office too, then I’d go with a leather blazer or something tailored. Another thing I like to consider when purchasing outerwear like a leather jacket is, “will I wear this more than once? Can I think of a few outfits I already own or plan to own to realistically wear this with?”

Okay, let’s look at actual outfits that you can wear with your leather jacket! While I picked a specific jacket for most looks, I think you can wear most any of these looks with any leather jacket.
Monochrome Leather Jacket and Trousers
These pants come in so many colors, and I love a monochrome take on this outfit for the winter. I’d go for these pants in black with a black sweater and boots.
Black Leather Bomber Jacket Weekend Outfit
Leather bomber jackets are really popular right now! I styled this one with a pair of jeans I own and love in a different color. The wash of this exact pair looks pretty with the black leather. Pair with combat boots and a cozy sweater for a wintertime weekend or vacation look. This would be perfect for a city trip where you’d be walking around. If you aren’t a fan of combat boots, I love these chelsea boots!
Black Leather Bomber Jacket With A Dress
I also love this leather bomber jacket paired with a flowy dress for the spring or fall. It feels like a boho, western vibe that’s perfect for a concert, a trip to a winery, or a long weekend catch up with friends at an outdoor restaurant. I would wear western boots with this look.

A faux leather blazer paired with work pants or a slip skirt is a timeless work look. It doesn’t have to feel like a fashion statement to wear leather to work! You can wear this type of look year after year, and you can wear it throughout several seasons – depending on where you live.
Wide Leg Jeans and Leather Jacket
I love this look for a night out with your girlfriends! The wide leg jeans are so fun, and they’re on-trend – it’s always fun to mix a trendy piece with a classic piece, which is the leather jacket. But, I don’t think wide leg jeans are going anywhere any time soon. I’m actually wearing these jeans in the first photo of this blog post.
You can drape the jacket over your shoulders while you eat. Accessorize with your favorite jewelry, and you’re ready to catch up with friends over dinner and drinks!

This would be one for a nice dinner out, a birthday party, or a more casual New Year’s Eve party! If you’re wearing this for a daytime look, I’d add a pair of black sunglasses! This pair is super glamorous – I tried them on in store in the gold and just love them.
