A leather jacket is the ultimate piece for cool and casual style. It helps to pull together an outfit whether it be through sleek leather trenches or trendy leather bomber jackets. A leather jacket is an investment piece for any person’s wardrobe. Selecting the right jacket that suits your body and personal taste is very important in order to make sure you can get the most out of your money spent. Leather jackets can be buttery smooth, rugged or distressed depending on the type that you like. There are also many different colors that you can get including sleek black, sophisticated greys, warm browns and even colored leather. If you plan on having only one leather jacket in your wardrobe make sure you find one that flatters your body and can be considered  timeless. Leather jackets with a great amount of color, detailing, embellishments or more couture cuts will tend to go out of style and may seem dated within a few years. Since leather jackets can be quite costly we suggest looking at simple blacks or browns with a snug fit close to the body. Great places to look for leather include Nordstrom, Burberry and online retailers. A new quality leather jacket usually retails for $150 or more. Make sure that you take proper care of your leather coat using a leather buff and polish so it will last. If you are opposed to wearing leather you can always find great knock-off pleather (plastic-blends) jackets for a fraction of the cost.
