The Updated Leather Jacket

Leather jackets have always been a stylish and fashionable item of clothing right back to when the Rockabilly's wore them in the fifties. Since then the biker jacket and various different versions of the leather jacket have become a wardrobe staple. The leather jacket has always been a sort of uniform that signifies rebellion and toughness. Think about Punk Rockers,Hells Angels and hotel room trashing rock stars.

The leather jacket is still in fashion today with the latest version having it's own more streamlined and fresh silhouette. Asymmetric zips,long sleeves, muted and neutral colours, cropped styles, textured leather and other interesting features and embellishments have brought the leather jacket right up to date.

The leather jacket is such a great way to get that effortless style. The best thing about a leather jacket is that the older it gets, the better it looks, a real investment piece.

Sexy with a tough edge by Bridgetac112 - this fresh take on the biker jacket by Dsquared is a great way to add a bit of rock n roll to a demure pencil skirt.

I love it by Inna - Rick Owens is unarguably the master of the updated leather jacket. I love the way this outfit combines different textures.
