Happy Friday! I don’t know about you guys, but January has been a crazy busy month for me and I can’t believe it’s already almost February! I have so much exciting new content planned for my blog and Instagram, and I am excited to share all of it with you. I have a reallllllyyyyyyyy exciting giveaway coming up soon, so make sure you keep checking back here and on Instagram if you are interested in winning a little Gucci something from me 🙂

For today’s post, I am talking about one of my favorite things to wear in the fall and winter which is a leather jacket! Leather jackets are so versatile and can be worn with so many different outfits, which is one of the reasons I love them so much! I have heard so many people say things like leather jackets are too “cool” or “trendy” for them or they just don’t know how to style them. ANYONE can (and should) own and wear a leather jacket!! I want to make the process of styling a leather jacket super simple and easy for you, so I am going to list a few of my favorite leather jacket outfit suggestions below.

Outfit 1: Simple tank and jeans

In the pictures above, I paired my leather jacket with a simple white tank and jeans, which I personally think is the most simple and easy outfit you can throw together! Everyone owns a basic tank or tee in their wardrobe, along with a pair of jeans, so adding a leather jacket to that outfit makes it 100x more stylish and fun.

Outfit 2: Plaid and leggings

Wearing plaid and leggings with a leather jacket is another simple and cute way to get use out of your leather jacket. Not only do you look put together in an outfit like this, but you also get to be super comfortable in your favorite pair of leggings! See full blog post on this look here.

Outfit 3: Leather jacket and dress

Another one of my all time favorite things to pair with a leather jacket is a dress! I love wearing a feminine dress and topping it off with an edgier piece like a leather jacket. Add your leather jacket on top of any dress you own for a more dressed up and modern look.

Outfit 4: Pattern mixing

Last but not least, I love mixing prints and adding a plain black leather jacket on top. When mixing prints, it is necessary to be wearing a couple of solid color items to break up the patterns, so a leather jacket is the perfect piece to add in when mixing prints. Learn more about pattern mixing in this blog post.
