Where can I buy a leather jacket?

LOOKING where to buy a leather jacket? You're in the right place. The humble leather jacket is an outerwear staple that has been on trend for decades.

Leather jackets are said to date back to the 1920s when they were worn by bikers, and have been in style ever since.

Leather jackets will never go out of fashion

There are various styles of leather jackets, which are popular it all depends on your body shape, personal style and budget.

Let's not forget there are some great faux leather jackets out there too, for those who are shopping for a budget-friendly version of the style or prefer an eco-conscious alternative.

For as long as I can remember I have never been without a leather jacket.

Yes, the style and fit have changed; what started as a fitted zip-up leather jacket, was soon traded in for a more modern oversized leather jacket for a masculine relaxed fit.

Daisy Jones & The Six: How you can recreate the iconic looks

The beauty of leather jackets is they compliment any look and can be worn all year round, and to almost every occasion.

I style my leather jacket with leggings and trainers. I will layer over a tracksuit too if I'm running errands.

I will also pair it with jeans and a T-shirt, and I will also throw my leather jacket over a dress or skirt, even if it's loosely draped over my shoulders.

A leather jacket is versatile, timeless, durable, and the one wardrobe essential I would be utterly lost without.

While some may seek out vintage leather jackets for an authentic feel, high street retailers have an array to shop too, and we have whittled down our favourite buys to help with your shopping spree.
