Black Jackets With Leather Details

The title of this blog entry really says it all; black jackets with leather details are a must this fall. I can't escape the trend. On blogs, in magazines, on websites, in stores -- blazers, trenches, bombers, you name it -- this style is everywhere. And it's really quite perfect as the style is incredibly striking. It's the combination of textures that really works and makes the clothing piece more luxe. Best of all, the black jacket with leather details is versatile, having the ability to play edgy or play sleek. Here are a few of my favorite versions of the look (all photos from the Barneys website):



This ICB Leather Bottom Blazer is a stunner. I love how the juxtaposition of the wool and leather resembles a kind of color blocking. And the leather is so hardy -- really excellent quality.

The A.L.C. Lennon Bomber Jacket (featuring leather sleeves) is perfect for the 2012 Fall Season. Bomber jackets are a HUGE trend right now, and this sporty piece carries a sophistication that really amps up a casual look.

This Holmes & Yang Perforated One-Button Blazer with leather trim is classic. It's a staple piece that elevates any outfit -- any wardrobe. And I adore the perforated wool -- very Chanel-esq.

Rag & Bone's Hubert Blazer is so effortlessly chic. I could absolutely see Kate Moss sporting this piece. The hint of leather is impeccable and the slightly shrunker fit is so chic.

This Rick Owens Drawstring Blouson is high fashion. The leather drawstring, the leather dolman sleeves - this piece is flawless. When I think Rick Owens, I think fierce, and I love how this is a softened kind of ferocity.

Last, but not least, this J. Mendel Reversible Bolero jacket is a dream. Such a winner. It's dripping in glamour. And so architecturally successful. I'm just over the moon for this look.
