A leather jacket can go a long way. From dressing up a casual white shirt and jeans combo, to adding an edgy, slightly grungy finish to a sparkling cocktail dress, the leather jacket has been a wardrobe staple for decades, and for very good reason. Versatile and available in a whole host of different styles, choose your pick and invest in leather jackets that are timeless, stylish and will last a lifetime.
Whether you’re a fan of the classic cropped biker, with its statement zips, belts and buckles (look to the likes of Khaite and The Attico), or prefer more streamlined and feminine cuts (turn to Yves Salomon and Versace), here’s our guide to some of the best leather jackets for women this winter.
