The trusty leather jacket is a timeless classic that never loses its edge. Not only can it be deftly layered over couture dresses – we have evidence from the Fall 2017 haute circuit in Paris – but it also serves as the ultimate traveling companion when darting from the Middle East to cooler climes in the West. Whether you’re a Saint Laurent biker type or belong to the Rick Owens tribe of leather outerwear, we highlight cool new ways to wear the beloved cover-up.
