Leather Jacket Obsession

I’ve been bookmarking my favourite looks on street style blogs for the past couple of weeks and I noticed a pattern. Most of the looks contain leather jackets! If I haven’t said this before on this blog then I am saying it now, I love leather! This pattern proves it. We can see from these looks that a little biker’s jacket looks great with various feminine looks. It definitely adds some edge to an outfit and makes it more noticeable. I don’t think there is a substitute for real leather. The best thing about it is that it’s a lifetime investment.

Even though Spring is here in South Africa, I don’t think we need to say goodbye to leather jackets just yet. I think they’re an easy way to keep warm on a the chillier Spring or even Summer nights. I’ve owned many leather jackets and found that I could wear them all year. These little jackets look especially good with floral dresses which are undoubtedly very popular already in South Africa.

  1. i wish i owned a leather jacket too! and even if it is a bit warm, you can always just take it off (:

  2. Totally need a long skirt like one of these in my life right now. Stunning inspiration.

  3. YEAH! I actually ride a scooter and very soon will be riding a bike – now I can get feminine leather jackets!! I’ve always had to wear guy’s jackets. Time to get super awesome looking for summer so that I have a human heater for winter… tee hee hee!

  5. Love all the looks featured in this post. SO fab!
    I have a brown leather jacket and a brown pleather biker jacket both from Woolies. I’m ashamed to admit but I prefer the fake leather one. The real leather is a bit stiff and I feel like I’m trying to hard when wearing it :) (Im weird like that)

  6. @Wendy, agreed those skirts are so awesome and look great with the leather jackets.

    @Elle, I also have a pleather jacket which I love dearly. Only problem is that when I wear it I always feel like I am going to scratch it somewhere and then it will become unwearable!

  7. I love leather too!It is definitely a great investment piece to add to your wardrobe!!

I do have a leather jacket and it’s a great piece. Now I’m inspired to wear it today! Thank you! :) I do want a brown leather jacket. I did have a faux leather bomber jacket, but the fit was off. Must invest in one… someday!
