How to Style a Brown Leather Jacket

0

A brown leather jacket is softer than black and easier to wear with warm colours. Chocolate brown works with black, cream and grey; cognac works with blue denim and white; and suede softens a whole outfit. Shop every jacket in stock on our brown leather jackets page.

Chocolate brown leather

Chocolate is the most versatile brown. Wear it over a cream knit and black trousers, over a slip dress, and with straight jeans and loafers. Magda Butrym, Nour Hammour and The Frankie Shop make chocolate leather jackets.

Brown leather blazers and bombers

A leather blazer is the smart version: it works with tailored trousers and a silk shirt for work. A bomber is the relaxed one, for jeans and a tee at the weekend. The Frankie Shop, Brunello Cucinelli and Magda Butrym make brown leather blazers and bombers.

Brown suede

Suede is softer, warmer and more relaxed than smooth leather. Wear it with knitwear, denim and a long skirt. Brunello Cucinelli makes brown suede jackets.

Outfits with a brown leather jacket

For the day: a cream sweater, straight jeans and brown boots. For the office: a white shirt, black trousers and loafers. For evening: a slip dress, gold jewellery and heels. Colours that suit brown leather include cream, camel, olive, black, grey and denim.

Frequently asked questions

How should a leather jacket fit?

It should sit close at the shoulders with room to layer a knit underneath, and the sleeves should end at the wrist bone.

Do brown leather and black go together?

Yes. Dark chocolate brown looks rich with black. Lighter cognac and tan look best with navy, cream and denim.

How do you care for a brown leather jacket?

Hang it on a wide hanger, condition the leather once a season, and have it professionally cleaned when needed.
