Trends come and go, but timeless wardrobe staples like denim, crisp white tops, trench coats, and the best leather jackets can last for years. If well-chosen, these pieces have a kind of staying power—a forever chic that’s hard to find elsewhere in your closet. Designers are certainly emphasizing building wardrobes that are meant to last—focusing on quality and craft instead of what’s in or out. Now, more than ever, it seems like a good time to invest in pieces for the long haul. And a leather jacket for fall and winter feels like a good place to start.
Regarding silhouette, the best leather jackets keep it tried and true: moto, biker, bomber, aviator, and pared-back zip-ups are all good options. And while these flow on and off the runways, a leather jacket will always remain a staple in the cool-girl aesthetic. Prada in particular has championed the revival of the moto jacket, you can find the worn-in style in the pages of Vogue in both our Just One Thing and New Romantics stories, which will surely have you dusting off the style in your own closet.
Brands like Acne Studios and Saint Laurent have permanent collection pieces that they offer season after season—core styles that have helped shape the brand’s DNA. Take good care of these, and the leather will look even better with age. But if you’re looking for something lasting with a twist, there are plenty of options that add a subtle yet unexpected edge to the classic style, and of course, there are always leather jacket options in silhouettes that are as clean as they come.
Here, are oversized silhouettes from By Malene Birger and Khaite, blazers from Coach and Staud, aviator styles from Acne and Zara, and The Classics, of course, from our favorites at Nili Lotan Anine Bing. There’s a style for everyone. The best leather jackets, ahead.
