1. The Classic Leather Jacket
There’s something cool and edgy about throwing on a leather jacket, especially when the air starts to get chilly. For me, the leather jacket is the ultimate fall staple—it can instantly elevate any outfit without making it look like you’re trying too hard. I’ve found that it works across so many different styles, whether I’m going for something casual or a bit more polished.
A leather jacket is one of those pieces that just transcends trends. Whether you’re into a more traditional biker style with silver zippers or a sleek, minimalist look, there’s a leather jacket out there for everyone. What makes it perfect for fall is its ability to provide warmth without being bulky. You know how fall weather can be unpredictable, some days it’s sunny and mild, while others are chilly and brisk. A leather jacket offers just the right amount of protection against the elements, making it an ideal layering piece! Another pairing I love is a black leather jacket with a bright colored tulle skirt. OMG, so irresistible I have a whole blog about styling tulle skirts here.
The leather jacket is more than just a jacket, it’s a mood, an attitude, and a statement all rolled into one. Every time I put mine on, I feel like a cool and mysterious girl. For me, it takes the bore out of wearing regular and predictable clothing. I like to surprise myself, even if I’m just running errands or going for brunch, a leather jacket is one of those pieces that I’ll always keep in my wardrobe, season after season.
Styling a brown leather jacket in the fall is all about creating a cozy and chic look. Pairing it with a green dress brings a fresh pop of color that complements the earthy tones of autumn. The rich brown of the jacket contrasts beautifully with the green, making the outfit feel vibrant and layered. Complete the look with brown boots to tie everything together, adding both warmth and style. Don’t forget to accessorize with a soft scarf or some simple jewelry to enhance the fall vibe. This combination is perfect for everything from casual outings to more dressed-up occasions, allowing you to embrace the season while looking effortlessly stylish.
2. Leather Skirts
I love dresses and skirts all year round, so why should fall be any different? A leather pencil skirt or a mini gives off a sleek and polished vibe. I like to soften the look with a flowy blouse or a chunky sweater tucked in. For shoes, I often choose knee-high boots or a cute pair of ankle booties. Leather skirts also pair perfectly with tights as the weather gets colder, making them ideal enough to transition into winter. Pair a leather skirt with a chunky sweater to make for an interesting look. This faux brown leather skirt is from here , sweater is from here, and pumps from here
You can go for a sexy look with a burgundy leather skirt and pair it with a white turtleneck sweater.
A leather pencil skirt is a perfect way to elevate your fall office wardrobe. It’s sleek, professional, and just edgy enough to feel fashion-forward. I love to pair mine with a tucked-in blouse or a turtleneck for a more polished, sophisticated look. Adding a belt at the waist helps to define the figure and gives a bit more structure to the outfit. To keep things classy and comfortable, I’ll go for mid-heeled pumps or sleek, pointed-toe flats. And when the temperature dips, a trench coat or wool blazer layers perfectly over the top.
You can also opt for a soft pussy-bow blouse like the one below and a classic black leather skirt from here.

3. Leather Pants
Leather pants are my go to when I want to make a statement. For those who care, I refer to faux-leather in this blog. These pants instantly elevate an outfit. I love to go for a straight-leg fit or high-waisted leather pants. I often style them with a fitted turtleneck or an oversized cardigan for a contrast in proportions. I might even throw on a belt bag or statement jewelry to complete the look.
4. Mix Textures
One of my favorite things about leather is how easily it pairs with different textures. The sleekness of leather and the softness of these materials create a lux, layered vibe that I can’t get enough of.
5. Footwear Matters
Your choice of footwear can elevate or tone down your leather look. Boots, ankle boots, or heels can all work seamlessly with different leather pieces. Consider the occasion and the overall vibe you want to convey when selecting your footwear—ankle boots for a casual look, heels for sophistication, and bold boots for an edgy touch.
