How To Choose & Wear a Leather Jacket - Men's Wardrobe Essentials

About this video

Weston discusses three main leather jacket styles for men—the biker, motocross, and bomber—and explains why she recommends each based on versatility and design. She provides specific product recommendations and outfit pairings to show how to style each jacket type for different occasions.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues the classic biker jacket, while iconic, is often too decorative for everyday wear and recommends the cleaner motocross or bomber styles as more versatile alternatives
• Weston recommends pairing brown leather jackets with shades of blue, and demonstrates complete outfit combinations for formal dates, casual outings, and everyday wear
• Weston emphasizes that a quality leather jacket is a lifetime investment that works dressed up or down, and recommends the AllSaints Griffin for authentic leather or the Zara motocross jacket as a more affordable synthetic leather option
