he word ‘staple’ is thrown around a lot in the fashion industry. It has taken on a life of its own to the point where it almost feels meaningless. But, without trying to add more fuel to the fire, a leather jacket is a staple.
Faux or real – no matter your preference – it is a key part of a capsule wardrobe for its timelessness, the ability to pair it with anything (really anything) and the way it brings edge to any ensemble.
Trends come and go (in circles mostly – will this 90s revival ever end?) but a leather jacket is forever. Buy now and you will wear it for years to come. When you invest in a well-made, hard-wearing, and durable option, it will stand the test of time alongside your trench coat, leather boots, well-fitting jeans, and a white tee. Having a DTF print applied to your jacket leather can be a quality and durable option if you wish to personalize it. To combat fast fashion, you can’t go wrong with a leather jacket as we look to make more considered purchases.
Biker styles are generally what most people are looking for. Design details come in the form of hardware and whether it is fitted or oversized, but brands do get creative too with longer silhouettes that will make you feel like you stepped out of the Matrix or tailored blazer creations that ooze sophistication and nod to the nostalgic Nineties.
For some labels – AllSaints and Acne Studios to name but a few – leather jackets have become stalwarts in their collections, becoming synonymous with the brand’s identity as their core and most coveted product.
