The Leather Jacket (November 2005 - February 2011)

[jeweledvixen]

Lately I've been noticing a lot of leather jackets in boutiques and online. Mary-Kate Olsen and Lindsay Lohan have also been spotted wearing them. I personally like this trend and am searching for the perfect one.

I'll try to post some pictures later.

I like the look of leather jackets as well on certain celebs but I think you have to have a certain edge or coolness to pull them off.

But leather jackets are always around!

What kind of jacket do u mean?

 

[emi25]

I got a jacket like this...but vintage..I like it but it's nothing special, just really casual and comfortable..

I love my leather jacket

i think leather jackets are always going to be timeless style. i have a brown suede leather jacket with a half-collar, looks very sleek and refined. I plan on getting another leather jacket that is non-suede as well for the wet days.

My dad has been sporting them for 50 years... I don't think they ever leave, it's just that the hipsters rediscover them.

emi25, thats the type of jacket ive been looking for since last year. also kate moss wore 1 similar to that right after she got out of rehab.

My favorite type of leather jacket has an oversized fur collar. I have one that I've outgrown. I think they are popular now, too.

This is an American Eagle one for $198.

Leather jackets are so classic! I've had my Gap leather blazer jacket for five years now, and it's just perfection.

 

[jeweledvixen]

Yeah, I agree leather jackets are a classic. They just seem to be more popular again with younger celebrities. I've noticed trendier designers have come out with their own versions recently (Ya-Ya, Juicy, etc.).

Can someone post runway pictures to balance out all that "star mania"? Would be much appreciated.

I'll try to find some. Mostly I've seen them in more independent designer collections and typical boutique brands.

I have 2 leather jackets. I adore them, and i plan on getting more.

The fonzie-jacket i posted before is from Cheap Monday, around 90 euros...new..

Easy to find in markets and second hand shops..here in Rome they are around 50 euros..

I have like 8 leather jackets and I love them. Went to Argentina this summer and there were leather jackets e v e r y w h e r e, got my favorite one there. funny thing is that I have one similar to the one mk olsen is wearing in the pic posted by jeweledvixen and i used to wear that with a similar hoodiething in the exact same color..2 years ago! i almost thought that was me seeing the small pic before cliking on the full version of it.

would be fun to see some pictures of your own leather jackets as worn with other stuff.. I try to take a picture of some of mine

They are indeed everywhere on the streets.. they're kind of a staple for most people.
