by 陈菁 16 Jan 2025

A leather jacket is not only a garment to keep warm in autumn and winter, but it is also a great way to create a unique look and highlight your uniqueness. Compared to dresses and cardigans, leather jackets look more unisex and cooler. Therefore, many ladies may have a headache about such a question: what to wear with a leather jacket?

How to Choose and Care for A Leather Jacket?

Hue is an important nuance that is often paramount. The color of your perfect jacket depends primarily on the tones that prevail in your closet. The most versatile models will be classic black or milky white jackets, as well as all natural tones - brown, caramel, emerald and burgundy. You should be careful with shades from the trend palette.

But the most important thing when choosing a leather jacket is to choose the right size of the product. Ideally, the jacket should be a little larger, so that the first layer,you can put on not only a T-shirt, but also a sweater or sweatshirt.

Classic leather jackets are timeless and trendy - a win-win solution for all times. A leather jacket can be attributed to such options. It will complement effortlessly business and casual images. Feel free to wear them with different styles of things: sporty, feminine, dressy and evening. Leather windbreakers, down jackets, motorcycle jackets, oversize, long or shortened bolero jackets: literally everything is in fashion now!

Details, even the smallest ones, are something that should not be left without attention. After all, even the presence of a small decoration like rhinestones or floral embroidery deprives the model of versatility. An abundance of metal rivets, studs, too frequent stitching and other decorations of the jacket - they are all sure signs that the jacket will be difficult to match clothes and it will soon go out of fashion.

Pockets and fasteners must be primarily practical. Clasps and zippers must open and close well. Pockets can be functional or decorative. However, they should not be over-decorated; this again makes the jacket a fashionable but not a basic model.

To prolong the life of your favorite leather jacket, follow these guidelines:

Before treating it with any product, be sure to test it on a small, inconspicuous area to make sure it is suitable.

To remove light dirt from the surface, use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to avoid damaging the leather.

Use special water-repellent products. They not only protect the leather jacket against getting wet, but also prevent dirt from penetrating deep into the surface

Do not wash it in the washing machine.

Regular preventive care will help to keep the product attractive for many years.
