Spring is officially here, and with that the period of transitional weather has also arrived. Whether I’m toying between a chunky knit or a linen shirt, or wanting to dress for the spring sun whilst also preparing in case of a downpour, I can often find myself staring at my wardrobe in the morning unsure on how to even dress myself for a potentially temperamental day of British weather ahead. Want to know the answer? Jackets.
Although Spring might make you think all things pastels, florals and flowy dresses, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to leave statement wardrobe items behind. Enter the classic leather jackets; from biker cuts to Moto styles, whether you’re looking for that perfect throw-on number or wanting to add a slight edge to your look, this season the focus is on leather.
Chances are you already own a leather jacket, and, like me, are in need some fresh inspiration on how to wear them for the season ahead. Well, have no fear. Keep on reading to discover four leather jacket outfits that I’ll be sporting this spring. You’re welcome!
1. Moto Jacket + Turn-Up Jeans + Colourful Trainers
