Leather Jackets

I am on the hunt for a new leather jacket for Autumn/Winter, when my funds allow!! I have a lovely Leather jacket that I bought from ASOS about four years ago, but is now beginning to look a little worn! I love my leather jacket because it really is such a versatile piece to have. I wear mine during the day and at night as it is a classic style that goes with everything.

When considering what sort of style/shape to go for consider these factors;
  • How often you want to wear your leather jacket? Will it be an everyday item or reserved for evenings/special outings etc.
  • A classic Biker/Motorcycle Leather Jacket, the sort of boxy style, will suit everyone.
  • Jackets which are more shaped around the waist will give you more definition.
  • The waterfall jackets are great for those with a smaller bust who want to add shape to their top half, but not so great if you are the opposite.
  • Coloured leather jackets are fun, but consider how often you would wear one, as opposed to a traditional black jacket.
  • The PU Jackets, (polyurethane), are a great option if your on a budget. They almost look like the real thing nowadays!

​Here are my picks from the shops.

Sneaker Styling

I love that 'Sporty Chic' is now fashionable, because it means there is now more of a choice of colours and styles with casual sneakers. (Check out my pick of new sneakers on my Shoes post.) With a definite chill in the air I have turned to my white sneakers for styling with jeans, long skirts and trousers. With this in mind I thought I'd show you a few different outfit looks that I would throw together with a pair of sneakers. For more outfit ideas check out my Pinterest page.

Jeans and sneakers  - You cant really go wrong with this look, I have teamed these printed New Balance sneakers with some boyfriend jeans, an asphalt coloured tee and a wrap and scarf for those cooler days ahead.
Jeans West Dasia Slim Boyfriend Jeans $69.99 (30% off), Witchery Long Sleeve Woven Zip Front Tee $79.90, Forever New Sonia Soft Leopard Print Scarf AU$34.99, Country Road Two Tone Knit Wrap $169.00, New Balance Floral ink $170.00, MIMCO Fintasia Day Pouche $399.00.

Skirts and sneakers - for this look I'd look for one colour sneaker, or even coordinate your sneaker colour with a colour in your clothes to bring it all together. I love the canvas blue of these Adidas Sneakers. (Be careful of sneaker and skirt combos with tights, this can be tricky to pull off. If you dare try black tights and sneakers.)
Sheike Gravity Skirt AU$99.95, Country Road Lurex Spot Knit $109.00, Esprit 3 Set Silver Earrings AU$19.95, Glassons Essential Tote $39.99, Adidas Stan Smith $140.00, ​Esprit Stretch Bracelet Star AU$29.95.

Dresses and sneakers - These Converse iridescent sneakers are a bit out there, so to keep with the funky vibe I styled them with a leopard print dress, leather jacket and cute studs and cross-body bag.
Kate Slyvester Leopard Spots Dress $269.00, Decjuba Motorcycle Leather Jacket AU$449.95, Pinch & Fold Love Struck Skull Studs $32.00, Glassons Tab Texture Sling Bag $24.99, ​Converse.AU Chuck Taylor All Star Iridescent AU$130.00.
