womens leather jackets

Womens leather jackets are a forever fashion staple in the wardrobes of all kinds of chic and smart dressed women. Available in countless styles, cuts, designs and colors, there’s always the perfect leather womens jacket for just about every occasion.

Wearing your womens leather jacket is easy when you know what looks good with your body type and what style suits your fashion sense best.
For the large breasted and full figured woman, choose single breasted (one row of buttons, not two) leather jackets for women. Stay away from big pockets, especially on the breast area. Pockets on the bottom part of the jacket are okay, but not optimal. Keep lapels to a minimum. Let your jacket hit the hips or a little lower and choose a fitted womens leather jacket that brings comes in a little on the waistline to keep you from looking boxy. Avoid a tight fit though.
Choose a style that skims the body, like a ladies leather blazer and leave the buttons open.

For the petite or “short” woman, choose leather jackets for women that have less bulk to them. Most important, buy your size! Shop in petite departments because the sleeves are cut to fit you as well as the stitching and other elements of the jacket. Womens petite leather jackets come in all colors and while it’s okay to play with color, remember to keep your jacket slim and snug and fitted and short. Stay away from hip hitting hemlines. Bring your jacket hem up to your waistline or just below it, but not long enough to cover your butt. If your pants are black, wear a black womens leather jacket with a pop of color on the shirt underneath. This will give you an elongated linear appearance.

For the tall thin girl who can wear anything, wear anything! Choose womens leather jackets in any length from the knee to the cropped styles. Wear your womens leathre jacket with jeans, sundresses, capris, shorts, mini-skirts and even pencil knee length skirts!

Every woman can wear a leather womens jacket as long as she pays attention to fit and comfort. If it doesn’t feel good, it’s not going to look good. Stick with basic blacks or browns and add a scarf or gloves or other accessory for a pop of color and that special WOW! factor.
