Leather jacket?! To buy or not to buy?

13 replies

What colour should i get ? I ordered brown but don't really like it, so will return.
I'm considering black , grey or pink?
Any recommendations that are under £200?
I know it's not a very good budget for a leather jacket but that's what i can spend.
I want to wear it mainly with skirts (midi) but skinny jeans too, if that makes a difference
Thanks

Wait until all saints do an offer .. I have the Papin in Black And love it .

My friend has a grey one that looks amazing but I find the colour too harsh on me. Black is ok but I need a scarf to soften it.

I went for bright yellow in the end!

I bought mine in France but there are loads of second hand leather jackets. Especially this time of year.

What about this one?

I am on my second leather jacket from Esprit (red). Wore my first one to death.

To add , for summer I have a grey and a sand coloured suede jacket as light blue and fuschia pink material biker jackets . I only wear black in autumn winter but has been too hot to wear any of them 😬

I second hendricksy take advantage of the AllSaints sale now - they have the best leather jackets - I have too many of them and oddly wear the black the least often.

What colour does this look like?

Anyone have this style? It looks quite bulky from theback which im not keen on but perhaps it's just too big for the model?

I have the red Balfern in the link - it's beautiful - its a soft red. You can always return it right?

I have a grey fake leather jacket that I like - would love a real leather one.

Grey goes well with a lot of other colours & is softer than black

Lovely olive jacket but what a peculiarly random way to style it - olive winter jacket, blue summer dress, black lace up espadrilles Hmm

partdeux · 19/07/2018 23:03

I live in the highlands so I would say it's definitely a summer jacket for me. Exactly how I'm planning to wear mineGrin (minus the espadrilles, need to keep toes warm)
