If there’s one clothing item in my closet that instantly adds luxe to any cold weather clothing, it has to be a leather blazer. I could be wearing any outfit, and no matter how different the pieces are from another, somehow the leather blazer will make it look instantly better. 

Leather blazers are no stranger to street style looks. However, lately, leather blazer outfits have been appearing everywhere and they have an approachable feel to them.

Leather Blazer Outfits

The leather blazer has a more elevated and fun look than a typical black blazer. They come in a multitude of colors, depending on your style and personality. But, the most popular colors are black and brown leather blazers. No matter the color, leather blazers are definitely here to stay and provide a sophisticated to any outfit.

Throw a leather blazer over a pair of jeans to add an edge to any denim look. The blazer even looks great over dresses, and especially adds a cool look to the trendy cargo pants.

Pay homage to the leather blazer’s ’90s roots by styling it with a pair of light-wash jeans.

Leather, even faux, is much warmer than cotton or denim jackets, so it can double as a more substantial jacket on those early spring or fall days.
