Wardrobe Staples No. 8 : Classic Black Leather Jacket

The classic black leather jacket has, and always will be one of the most effortlessly cool, timeless and versatile items you can have in your wardrobe.

This staple is not only an adaptable piece that can compliment any outfit, but it will literally forever stand the test of time, both in your possession and in the fashion stakes.

Any off-duty outfit, when paired with a leather jacket, will take on a whole new persona. Throw one on to toughen up a pretty boho dress, drape one over your shoulders to give your jeans and tee look an edge - the options are truly endless.

As with all good leather, it gets better with age, so keep in mind when investing in a brand spanking new leather jacket, that if it appears too shiny and neat, that it just needs time to soften and mould to you.
