THE WINTER SHOPPING EDIT / 2026–27

Leather jackets for 2026/27.
A softer edge.

Start with the shoulder and collar. An oversized bomber gives straight trousers room to look deliberate. A funnel neck does the work of a scarf on a mild day. A belted crop gives longer layers a clear waistline. Chocolate brown softens the look, while black makes the shape sharper.

LOOK 01 / Reformation

Cocoa with barrel denim.

Lana leaves the bomber open over warm ivory so the curved jeans have room to take shape. Black trail sneakers give the rounded hem a clean stop, and the cocoa bag picks up the leather without adding another color.

LOOK 02 / COS

Chocolate against ecru.

Wear the brown bomber open with an ivory knit and straight ecru denim. A narrow brown boot makes the cuff look intentional. On a cool palette, keep a crisp pale layer next to your face and let the jacket bring the depth.

LOOK 03 / Aritzia

Black with a flash of blue.

Show a little poplin at the cuff or hem. Dark straight denim keeps the line long, and a flat narrow shoe leaves the jacket as the broadest shape. A short knit under the shirt adds warmth without swallowing the collar.

01 / Affordable

The smart buys.

Start here if you want the silhouette without the investment. Most of this edit is faux leather or coated fabric. Look closely at the surface in daylight and check whether the zip and cuffs lie flat when you move.

02 / Mid-range

The step-up edit.

This is where real leather, more considered seams and clean collars start to change the feel of a jacket. We’ve also included Aritzia’s faux leather bomber for its shape. Compare material and construction even when two jackets sit at a similar price.

THE FITTING ROOM

Before you choose.

Check the fit zipped and open.

Sit down and reach forward in the jacket with the layers you actually wear. If the zip buckles or the shoulder seam pulls, try a different shape. In a high collar, turn your head before committing to the size.

Choose where the volume goes.

A bomber and wide trousers can work together when the jacket ends near the waist or the shoe is slim. A longer, roomy jacket is easier to balance with a straighter leg. Use your existing jeans as the fitting-room test.

Read the material and care label.

Smooth leather, suede and coated fabric age and clean differently. If you need a jacket for frequent rain or freezing commutes, check the label and think about which coat would go over it.
