It's True: Whistles' Insta-Famous Leather Jacket Is Back In a New Colourway

Every so often, a piece of clothing comes along that gets hearts racing across the entire fashion industry. Sometimes, it's a runway look that goes viral, meaning it's probably out of reach for most of us, and sometimes, it's a more accessible high-street buy that proceeds to pop up in the wardrobes of all the most stylish people. Whistles' Bonded Leather Jacket is one of these pieces. Of course, it's real leather, so it's still an investment piece at £449. Its clean, cool, structural lines; buttery-soft, luxurious texture, and classic-wardrobe-staple qualities (it doesn't get more timeless than a black leather jacket, does it?) make it a very wise investment indeed. So much so that the style sold out pretty instantaneously when it first launched in black last year, and those lucky enough to have snagged it the first time around have been flaunting theirs on social media ever since. This week, however, we can finally reveal that this it's back in another timeless shade: khaki.

I can personally vouch for the jacket, as I borrowed it from the brand to wear during the last London Fashion Week. I proceeded to fall head over heels for it when I tried it on with so many of my go-to outfits, and it made every single one feel more elevated and cool. Honestly, it's a minimalist's dream, and influencers have been styling theirs with everything from blue jeans and loafers for spring to relaxed tailoring and knitwear layers during winter. Tanice Elizabeth has even shown us how good it looks thrown over little black dresses.

For 2024, Whistles has introduced a petite version alongside the classic style, that currently comes in the black colourway. Whilst retaining the oversized appeal of the original, the petite style is cropped in the arm and body length to fit just right on shorter frames.
