your inner rockstar with checked pants and chunky boots. A black motorcycle jacket
is a classic choice, but you can mix things up by wearing the piece in any colour
you wish. This outerwear is adaptable to any outfit; a piece of clothing that works

First worn as a flight jacket in the early 1900s, the leather jacket is now a style
essential for men more than 100 years on. But knowing how to wear a leather jacket
poses a flight risk for many.

It makes sense considering the leather jackets played so many roles since its
aviator origins: on the silver screen with Marlon Brando in The Wild One, and
centre stage in the Seventies as punk bands (think the Sex Pistols) took the
leather jacket for ransom.

Going hell for leather, brands are now offering a plethora of jacket styles,
steeped in subcultural references and contemporary trends. Preppy lads, cowboys,
punks, bikers and mods are all privy to the delights of leather, as well as today’s
athleisure enthusiasts.

So with all this choice, how to wear a leather jacket today? Read on for our simple
yet comprehensive guide on wearing the fashion item, whatever your personal style
or the occasion.

The leather perfecto – an asymmetrical, lancer fronted motorcycle jacket – roars

along to a punk rock tune for a blend of biker and badass. Big on details –
metallic hardware (made up of zips, buttons and press studs), as well as front
pockets and shoulder lapels, the perfecto is designed to pack a sartorial punch (in
the face) as an off-duty look.

All-black styling – with denim that’s ripped and a vintage-wash t-shirt – enhance
the rocker rebellion, while plaid shirts give off a nineties vibe and inject some
colour into the monochrome. Pair with boots (biker or Chelsea) or a creeper-sole
Derby shoe for a sense of new-wave punk. Accessorise with metallic jewellery.
Sneakers are also in but make sure they’re the low-key type (white is best) as
opposed to the latest Yeezy’s.

Getting on the athleisure train doesn’t always mean windbreakers and shell jackets
(and Lycra). The leather perfecto jacket is an essential outerwear piece, worn as a
definitive luxury when teamed with sweats.

The hoodie – in soft cotton jersey and zip-through construction – tops-off the
track suit over black track pants; cuffed at the hem and in slim-fit for
comfortable street style. Opt for a leather duffle bag as fashionably functional
accessory to tie in the jacket.

Finally, keep your feet neat with active sneakers or low-cut leather kicks. The
former – when you’re actually heading to the gym, the latter – best for days out-
and-about.
