Every once in a while, a new trend emerges that truly stands out. Such is the case with racing jackets this season. As a shopping editor, I find that these unexpected trends make working in fashion so fun. Last month, sporty leather jackets were spotted all over Copenhagen Fashion Week, and for good reason. They are incredibly fun and make a cool statement—true to the Scandinavian fashion scene. Naturally, I set out to score one of my own.
I was pleased to come across a stellar selection of racing jackets available at a variety of price points just in time for fall. This stylish outerwear can be worn with everything from jeans and dresses to skirts and trousers, making it that much easier for anyone interested to pull off the look. Scroll on to shop my top racing-jacket picks and check out outfit inspiration straight from the street style stars and influencers who are already wearing the trend.
