Leather jackets have been hot on the fashion radar for a few seasons now, and it doesn't look like they're going away anytime soon. The great thing about a leather jacket is it can go in many different directions. If you're still wearing it with all-black, it's time to move on. Look for details like an exaggerated collar, metal buttons, slant pockets and cuffs for a jacket that's practical, but looks modern. The current leather jacket should fit slightly close to your figure, but be easy to button-up. Remember to store leather in a cool, dry place to prevent cracking in the warmer seasons and when it's time for a refresher, a bottle of leather conditioner and an old T-shirt will work wonders for breathing new life into this timeless treasure.
