Microtrends | Street style – The Rise of the Leather Jacket

Spotted at London, Milan and Paris Fashion Week, the leather jacket is set to be a major trend for SS19. Here’s the modern way to wear it…

The Insider

Make some noise for the leather jacket. It’s a classic and it’s hot right now. For inspiration on how to work contemporary leather outerwear into your look, read on for our roundup of the best street style fresh from the AW19 shows. Which styles are you going to wear this season?

Utility mode
Look to longer hem lengths for that throw-on-and-go attitude. The utilitarian trend lends itself well to leather overcoats with buckles, pockets and belts in abundance. Sophisticated yet edgy, try glossy vinyl finishes for a head-turning aesthetic (that’s also weatherproof). Show off your fashion credentials with a key detail to note – loosely tied waist-belts. This is less formal than tightly buckled looks and lends an off-duty chic.

Pastel perfection
Nothing feels fresher than pastels for spring, and updating traditionally dark leathers to sorbet shades will make your outfit pop. Lilac, aqua, powder pink and baby blue feel modern. Your light toned leather jacket will team well with stonewashed denim or a contrasting black outfit.

Sports luxe
Racetrack outerwear is trending. Try out bold colour, with graphic stripes and sporty logos. These casual renditions of leather jackets are ideal for daywear looks with chunky trainers. A bold lipstick and oversized jewellery will offset the androgynous design.
