This season, leather is no longer just another accessory, it’s a staple. Leather jackets are everywhere you turn, and whether you decide to go real or faux, short or long, you can’t miss the mark. Overall, the looks range from classy to edgy, but the most popular style, the “Bomber,” falls somewhere in between.
In recent years, the Edge has become more preferable. Looking tough implies boldness and assertiveness. When you want to stand out, the last thing you need lacking is confidence; you will just end up looking like you tried too hard. Leather jackets are a good way to abandon the ordinary.
The great thing is that they are available in a multitude of styles and colors, with prices to fit every budget. When selecting your leather jacket, first decide if you are going faux or looking for real leather. That will give you a perspective on price range and locations to shop. Second, know the look you want. The Bomber style keeps things casual, trendy, and comfortable. The motorcycle style is edgier, and a little more chic than the Bomber because the lines are cleaner, and it creates less bulk.
If you choose faux-leather, you can expect it to be less expensive than a real leather jacket. H&M offers a Bomber style in three different shades for only $49. If you choose to go with real leather, expect to pay at least $300 (especially if you are not shopping sale or thrift). A cute hooded Motorcycle style is available at Adriano Goldschmied (AG Jeans) on Newbury Street; the cost is around $700.
Fortunately for all of us college students, Urban Outfitters offers the option of leather or faux in both Motorcycle and Bomber styles, in an affordable price range for the student budget. Regardless, if you are looking for a fashionable, reliable Fall jacket, take leather as a suggestion. Don’t miss out on this cool trend!
