The secret of the popularity of a leather jacket is simple and clear. Acquired once, it will come in handy all year round, perfectly tighten the figure and will look advantageous with any clothes. By the way, this season, and with an evening dress, you can already "walk" a fashionable little girl.
Ladies pulled a model with a double-breasted or slanting clasp into their wardrobe, of course, “from a man’s shoulder”. Nothing strange - the beautiful half for so many decades was sheltered from the cold with a similar jacket that she ... just became female. We always do this (from the perspective of fashion history, of course)! Seriously, in the late 1930s, this model was a pilot's jacket, then, in the 1950s, young people set off to travel on motorbike roads. And so, from heaven to earth, Biker stepped into the favorites of fashion.

What to choose?

In the new season of styles with constructive design wisdom abound! Of particular interest are jackets with details of fur, knitwear and even fleece. Popular models of eco-leather, which, by the way, cannot be distinguished from natural.

Details

Shoulder straps: reinforced shoulder line - imitation shoulder straps. For the feminine version, the designers decided not to add rigidity, since the jacket itself is already a very brutal option for clothes in the unisex style.
Sleeve: stitching of sleeves - a kind of their strengthening in the "strategic" zones. After all, this jacket model was originally intended for motorcycle adventures.
Zippers: spectacular large zippers in a retro fashionable style are ideal for such a model.
Material: such jackets are often sewn from durable leather made in a special way and duplicate material (for density) in the elbow and back.
Along the side line: the double-breasted model came into fashion from the military uniform of the pilots: a convenient fastener, a stand-up collar - optimal minimalism.
Decor: elegant stitching of the model gives stitching with a soft substrate. Front inserts or full details of fur or knitwear.
