Women’s Fashion – 2011′s Best Leather Jackets

You would be forgiven for thinking a leather jacket is a leather jacket and that’s that, but there are many styles and varieties to this versatile garment and perhaps the most classic of these is the blazer. Well-cut and smart, its clean lines can take you from the office to socializing and back again while looking undeniably good – no one will notice if you wear it several days in a row. It’s a true wardrobe staple, wearable by everyone and totally worth the investment.
Staying with the glamour and ease of leather, but adding a slight hint of practicality to proceedings, you could check out the fantastic Shearling jacket for a brilliant addition to your winter wardrobe. The fur lining and detailing on the collar and cuffs not only looks fantastic but will keep you warm, meaning you don’t have to face the well-known debate over whether to sacrifice body heat for fashion while letting you put your own stamp on the style classic.

Maybe fur – faux or otherwise – isn’t your thing but you’re still looking for an alternative to the traditional leather jacket, in which case, the zip-front bomber is fantastic. These jackets are close-fitting, warm and practical, often coming with lots of zip-up pockets – great for those days when you don’t feel like carrying a handbag. They also look great in a variety of colors, meaning you can mix and match with your wardrobe and make a statement with color as well as style.

Perhaps if you’re looking to combine warmth with classic tailoring, you could try the ultra chic leather trench. Amazing in a range of colors from black to brown to bright red, the trench is a brilliant leather twist on the traditional winter coat. It looks particularly great over a suit and the softness of the leather means it’s easily wearable for any occasion. Whether it’s knee-length or down to the floor, the trench is always popular and it’s not hard to see why when it looks this good.

OK, maybe straight leather isn’t your thing or you’re looking for a quirky alternative to make the style your own. Fear not, for the suede and pleather jacket is the perfect blend of individuality and fashion. Coming in a variety of styles, you could go for pleather with suede detailing or an all-out pleather and suede combo wearable on any occasion. Pleather might not sound classy but it looks great and is perfect for the woman on a budget. A great buy.
