Women's leather jackets

The leather jacket – a timeless classic with cult status

Fashion trends come and go. Some disappear after a season, others last for years, some shape an entire decade and maybe even make a comeback. And then there are a few trends that never go out of fashion, accompany generations and achieve cult status - like the leather jacket !

The history of the leather jacket over time.

The women's leather jacket has reinvented itself time and again over the years. Originally designed as robust functional clothing for pilots and motorcyclists, the leather jacket conquered Hollywood and the fashion world in the 20th century. Films such as Grease (70s), Top Gun (80s) and Matrix (90s) made biker jackets, aviator jackets and leather coats popular. Stars such as Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp and Madonna also helped the leather jacket to achieve its iconic image. Since then, leather jackets have not only been popular in subcultures such as the punk rock, gothic and heavy metal scenes, but have also gained a firm foothold in the fashion world. The women's leather jacket in particular has become a favorite of top designers and is regularly presented in new interpretations, be it as a leather blouson, leather blazer, leather coat or biker jacket.

Wide selection of women's leather jackets

Nowadays, women's leather jackets come in a variety of colors and shapes. In addition to the classic colors of black, brown, cognac and burgundy, bright colors such as red, green, yellow and blue as well as nude tones such as cream, beige or powder are also popular. Current trend colors such as pastel tones (rose, light blue, mint, gray or lilac) and neon colors (orange, pink or neon green) are also used. Thanks to its versatility, the women's leather jacket has been with us for almost a century. As a timeless classic, it has taken a firm place in pop culture and the fashion world and is now an indispensable part of our wardrobes.

The right cut for every figure type

A leather jacket should be part of every well-stocked woman's wardrobe. Fortunately, women's leather jackets not only suit every style and every age group, but also every figure. Regardless of whether you are petite, tall, curvy or androgynous, there is a model to suit you. Choosing the right cut can accentuate the advantages of every figure:

• For the petite (small) figure type, short-cut leather jackets that end at waist level are suitable in order to optically shift the center of the body upwards.
• Tall women with a tall figure should choose longer cut models that ensure flattering proportions.
• The curvy figure type (feminine curves) is perfectly showcased by simple, straight-cut leather jackets, ideally without wide collars, pockets or quilting.
• For the androgynous (very slim) figure type, leather jackets with eye-catching details such as wide lapel collars, pockets, belts or rivets are suitable.

In our range you will find women's leather jackets in different cuts and sizes, from XS to 2XL (equivalent to size 34-44) and even up to size 4XL (size 48).

The perfect all-rounder leather jacket

If you are unsure about choosing your first women's leather jacket , we recommend going for the classic - the women's leather jacket made of black smooth leather! The black leather jacket is an all-rounder that suits every style. Whether it's a straight-cut model or a biker cut with a slanted zipper - a simple black leather jacket can be combined in many different ways and gives every outfit an extra dose of coolness.

Combinations and styles for women's leather jackets

The perfect outfit is created by cleverly combining materials, cuts and colors. Breaks in style give the look a youthful and modern feel. For example, a classic black leather jacket can be combined with a hoodie and sneakers for a sporty, casual look, or with a blazer and pumps for a classic, elegant office look. A fashionable mix of materials, such as a chunky biker jacket made of sturdy cowhide with a fluffy cashmere sweater, gives the outfit sophistication.

Proper care for leather jackets is important to preserve their beauty and suppleness. Waterproofing before wearing for the first time protects against the effects of the weather. Leather jackets should not be put in the washing machine, but rather aired out. Light dirt can be cleaned by hand, while professional leather cleaning is recommended for heavier dirt. Small scratches in smooth leather can be polished out with leather grease to keep the leather soft and supple.
