Coat Check

August 10th, 2010

After my trip to San Francisco last week, it became clear that I don’t have enough cold-weather jackets for those days that hover at uncomfortably brisk temperatures.  Blazers are polished and preppy (as seen here, here and here) and down jackets are bulky (as seen here), so a sleek leather (or faux leather) jacket is the perfect solution.  I love the idea of wearing any of these with crisp, dark denim, a slouchy shirt, leather boots and berry-colored lips.

1. dELiAs Layla Ruffle Jacket, $79.50
2. Alice + Olivia Michael Leather-Trimmed Wool Blazer, $495
3. Topshop Marshall Cropped Biker Jacket, $100
4. Rick Owens Asymmetric Leather Jacket, $2,480
5. Forever 21 Scale Faux Leather Jacket, $32.80
6. Topshop Funnel Bomber Jacket, $100
7. All Saints Datya Jacket, $490
8. dELiAs Steve Madden Coat, $89.50

    Great round up. I love the Rick Owens number!

    Of course I liked the one with the $2,500 price tag best… Why does my eye always gravitate to expensive things?

    I found a Gap one, VERY similar to #2… the leather-trimmed wool jacket – while thrifting the other day. $15 – you can’t beat it.

    i had a faux leather jacket for a few months, but i could never get used to the rubbery squeaky feeling of it! i’ll definitely be saving up & “splurging” on a leather one … one day!

  • Marie

    Of course, the one I like the most is the most expensive. That always seems to be the way…might have to look for a knock-off. It would match my mouse-grey MJ Hillier!

  • http://mermaidsandmacabre.wordpress.com Lexi

    I’ve been looking for the perfect leather moto jacket for fall. Although the Rick Owens jacket is my favorite, I think I’ll try out the TopShop one!

  • http://www.ahautemess.ca/ Niki

    faaack. of course my favourite one is rick owens. damn! haha
    ps. i keep hearing that your my bloggerina doppelganger? thought you should know. haha

    Just putting on a leather jacket makes it feel like fall… bonfires, colorful leaves and wearing mittens while holding hands.

    you should check out the biker melange jacket by anthropologie. it is the most amazing buttery leather with a unique, flattering collar. my favorite transition-to-fall jacket out there right now!

    The alice and olivia is the best. It’s got character and flare without being too flamboyant.

    Totally agree about leather or faux leather jackets for Fall – so versatile and stylish. I’m loving our new faux leather bomber jacket from the Fall Collection. (Oh, and you can’t beat the under $50 price tag!)
