Stylish Women's Leather Jackets
Women's leather jackets are timeless classics that have withstood many changes in fashion. Available in various types of leather, colors, and styles, they are worn not only casually but also for festive occasions and in everyday business settings. With MADELEINE's leather jackets, fashion-conscious women give their outfits a unique twist. Depending on the model, women's leather jackets create an elegant, sporty, or youthful appearance. To find a true favorite when buying a leather jacket, consider selecting a cut that suits your body type and size. The outer material and color also play significant roles.
Choosing the Leather for Your Women's Leather Jacket
For those opting for genuine leather rather than just a leather-like appearance, there are various types of leather to choose from. Fine nappa leather represents the classic material for a women's leather jacket: The soft leather typically comes from cattle, pigs, or lambs and is exceptionally supple. Nubuck leather is also frequently used due to its soft quality. It's a fine suede leather slightly buffed on the grain side, creating a velvety effect.
Rougher in texture are all types of suede leather, with their robust and coarse surface structure resulting from sanding on the underside of the leather. They give high-quality women's jackets the appeal of wilderness and adventure without appearing masculine. Suede leather can originate from various animals, primarily goat and pig leather. Depending on the processing, the material can feel similarly soft and velvety despite the rougher surface. An important characteristic of suede leather is its high colorfastness, ensuring that colors remain vivid and deep even with frequent use: Black stays as black as on the first day, brown remains as intense, and vibrant red retains its hue.
Leather Jackets: Styles and Pairing Options
There's a wide selection of styles available for leather jackets, not just in terms of material. MADELEINE's women's leather jackets come in various cuts and styles, such as long leather coats or blousons, classic short and tailored designs, tailored coats, and casual biker jackets. As leather jackets are often worn open, belts and buttons mainly serve as decorative elements. However, this shouldn't deter you, as a fashion-conscious woman, from wearing your leather jacket closed. That's when the figure-hugging cut, characteristic of women's leather jackets, truly stands out.
Regarding color, when choosing a leather jacket, follow your personal taste and consider the matching outfits in your wardrobe. Whether brown leather jackets or models in classic black, elegant gray, or vibrant red and green tones: these diverse jackets not only accentuate your figure but also offer numerous pairing options.
Especially leather blousons are versatile in the wardrobe. Paired with jeans, they create a fashionable casual outfit. When combined with a skirt, they transform into an unconventional business outfit. Worn with a feminine dress, they add a youthful and fresh style to your evening look. These versatile jackets complement both fitted tops and softly draped waterfall shirts and chic blouses.
Matching Leather Jackets for Your Hips
A women's leather jacket should be something special: a garment for everyday wear and special occasions that accompanies its owner for many years. Therefore, it's essential to choose the right cut that best suits your figure. Women with narrow hips and broad shoulders should focus on hip-accentuating elements while avoiding accessories in the shoulder area. A beautiful belt or a large bag are suitable extras, for instance.
Women with wider hips and a relatively narrow upper body should opt for tailored jackets with a wide lapel or striking collar. Ideally, a suitable jacket should end slightly above the widest part of the hips. Decorative seams or epaulets are recommended for this body type as they create a more balanced overall appearance. Conversely, women's leather jackets that add bulk in the hip area, such as peplum or hip belts, are less flattering.
The Perfect Model for Your Curves
For those with a larger bust and some belly, slightly tailored models are preferable. Women's leather jackets for this type are kept relatively simple with few embellishments. Also recommended are a centrally placed zipper and a small stand-up collar on the jacket. These elements visually elongate the figure. Opt for subtle colors, particularly black, which visually slims the line. However, it's crucial not to choose a jacket that's too tight. When the jacket is closed, it shouldn't feel tight.
When buying women's leather jackets, always consider the curves of your silhouette: the figure of curvier women with a narrow waist is best emphasized with a strongly tailored, closely fitted jacket. Those with naturally fewer curves can enhance their look with the right jacket: tailored models, elements like diagonally placed zippers, and accessories such as decorative studs, combined with a broad lapel, create the desired feminine look. Avoid large pockets: leather blousons with discreetly placed side pockets are ideal for this body type.
Find modern leather jackets at MADELEINE in a wide range of designs, colors, and sizes: From size 8 to 22, you'll find suitable models made of nappa, nubuck, or suede leather, and you can choose between leather blousons and biker jackets, leather coats, and short tailored versions.
