This Jacket Is a Spring Wardrobe Staple—4 Chic Outfits That Prove It
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 often find myself staring at my wardrobe in the mornings unsure how to even dress myself for a potentially temperamental day of British weather. Want to know the answer? Jackets. Although spring might make you think of pastels, florals and flowy dresses, it doesn’t mean you have to leave statement wardrobe items behind. Enter the classic leather jacket; from biker cuts to moto styles, whether you’re looking for that perfect throw-on number or want to add a slight edge to your look, this season, the focus is on leather.
Chances are you already own a leather jacket, and if like me you're in need of some fresh inspiration for how to wear it for the season ahead, you're in luck. Keep 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
Style Notes: If you want to add an element of edginess to your outfit, pair a leather moto jacket with a fun graphic T-shirt. Style with straight-leg jeans and some colourful trainers.
Shop the Look:
Turn-up jeans are a big denim trend for 2024, and this straight-leg pair from Zara will become a new wardrobe essential.
Adidas Gazelles are such an easy way to add a pop of colour to your outfit without being overbearing.
A Loewe Puzzle speaks for itself—a dream accessory addition to any wardrobe.
2. Classic Biker Jacket + Floral Midi Dress + Chunky Sandals
Style Notes: Of course, we can't say no to a floral dress in spring, even on not-so-warm days. Simply throw a classic biker jacket over the top to avoid the chill before slipping into chunky dad sandals and accessorising with a pair of cat-eye sunnies.

3. Brown Leather Jacket + Striped Button-Down + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: A warm-toned brown leather jacket is a great alternative to a staple black style. Pop on a striped button-down, a pair of tailored trousers and some Mary Janes, and you've nailed effortless layering.

4. Khaki Leather Jacket + Denim Maxi Skirt + Boots
Style Notes: Soft khaki is the perfect shade for springtime. Style a lightweight knitted jumper with a denim maxi skirt and add a khaki leather shacket and some complementing accessories to champion transitional dressing.
