Life In Leather

Giving you an effortlessly stylish look, the leather jacket has been a timeless wardrobe staple for years. Being worn by everyone from rock stars to members of some of the most popular youth cultures in history, the leather jacket has never once looked out of place.

Liam Gallagher once famously made an appearance at the GQ awards in 2012 wearing a leather parka, jeans and sunglasses, completely disregarding the strict black tie dress code. When questioned about why he was dressed so casually, he replied:

"I'm a f***in rockstar."

If there was ever a better justification for getting your hands on a leather jacket and wearing it with style, we're yet to hear it.

A sleek, soft leather gives this look the chance of a smarter edge when it's layered up with an on trend patterned shirt in the perfect colour for winter.

Ted Baker LS Geo Combo Shirt: With a geometric pattern, this Ted Baker shirt's rich burgundy tone helps give this look a splash of winter colour, making it perfect for wearing in the evenings with a pair of dark jeans and shoes for a dressier look with a leather jacket.

Ted Baker Wildone Black Leather Biker Jacket: A smooth finish gives a much cleaner edge to this Ted Baker leather jacket despite its classic biker style. With a tailored fit, a contrasting patterned lining gives this jacket an extra edge when it's worn open.

With a used look, this leather jacket sets off a casual look that takes a stylishly premium edge. A patterned t-shirt underneath does the job of adding a fashionable edge, and compliments the earthy colour of the jacket to effortlessly create a stylish look.
