Brown leather never looked so good. This one’s gotten the retro treatment thanks to its oversized fit and double-breasted design. It’s meant to hit around your mid-thigh, perfect for layering over dresses, slacks, or jeans. ($399, Bernardo)
A shacket with an adjustable waist tie…
This one’s almost like a cross between a shacket and a trench, thanks to it’s detachable and adjustable waist tie. It’s made from super soft lamb leather and has branded snap buttons for closure.

A leather bomber jacket perfect for transitional weather…
This piece has a retro feel thanks to the loose fit and high neck. It has ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem, and low-set shoulders for a roomier fit, so you can layer comfortably during the colder months. Customers rec going a size up if you plan to wear it with chunky sweaters. ($525, Madewell)
A slim-fit leather jacket you can wear two ways…
This tailored option has a close fit, invisible pockets, and a slight mock neck for a sportier silhouette.

It comes in three different colors — black, brown, and ivory — each with different-colored linings. The ultimate in versatility. ($395, Overland)
