Biker Jackets are Fine, But Fashion People Are Wearing This More Expensive Looking Leather Jacket Trend

Lately, I’ve noticed something quietly happening on the streets, in showrooms, and all over my feed: the biker jacket is taking a backseat this fall. Don’t get me wrong—I love a good oversize silhouette, bulky hardware, and that whole “I could jump on a motorcycle at any second” vibe traditional moto jackets give off. But fashion people (myself included) are gravitating toward something sleeker, softer, and dare I say, richer-looking: a collarless leather jacket. It's more minimal and often more akin to a cropped lady jacket than a traditional leather bomber worn by the likes of Hailey Bieber and crew.

Paired with simple straight-leg jeans or cigarette pants, the small but mighty collarless leather jacket elevates almost any outfit. I've been styling mine with wide-leg trousers and pointed-toe kitten heels this fall, and honestly, I haven’t felt this put-together since discovering the magic of a perfectly tailored blazer. If you’re ready to trade your moto for something a little more refined (but still very cool) this fall, keep scrolling—I’ve rounded up the best collarless leather jackets to shop now before everyone else catches on.
