Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Confirmed That Winter Outfits Look Even Better With This Luxe Leather-Jacket Trend

After the temperatures dropped this week, you might have immediately started Googling "puffer coats", but one jacket I keep spotting everywhere this week is the brown leather jacket. As the softer alternative to classic black, this vintage-inspired style has well and truly found its way into the wardrobes of fashion people and celebrities alike, and it’s not hard to see why.

Whether you go for an oversized, worn-in bomber or a polished, fitted style, it’s one of those pieces that works with pretty much everything. Throw it on with your favourite jeans! Layer it over a dress ! Or, pair it with tailored trousers and a chunky knit for an easy, cold-weather look. Basically, if you’ve been thinking about adding a new jacket to your wardrobe, this might just be the one. Don't believe me? Ask Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley.

When the model and entrepreneur stepped out this week in a cropped leather bomber in a luxe shade of reddish chestnut, I was immediately convinced that it was the jacket alone that made her simple pair of grey tailored trousers feel really special. Similarly, when Lori Harvey was photographed at a store opening in NYC on the very same night, her glossy brown jacket was the focal point in a pared-back, monochrome look.

Given just how big rich, chocolate brown has been for the last couple of winters, it was only a matter of time before the trend translated to leather jackets too, and if you're tired of suede, not into faux fur and looking for something that you can just as easily wear for evening as you can for a casual weekend, you might want to consider a sleek brown leather jacket. Black leather will never be "out", but brown leather feels like the rock and roll girl's more elevated and elegant big sister.
