Nothing is as luxe in a transitional wardrobe than a buttery-soft piece of leather. And when it comes to navigating this in-between period from winter to spring, it feels only natural to reach for our go-with-everything leather jackets. Wear them layered under a warm winter coat or all on their own for edgy elegance. That being said, a high-quality leather jacket isn’t the only leather style we’re eyeing this season—think tailored trousers from Mother, Altuzarra’s leather midi skirt, leather leggings from Joseph, and Cos’ shirt dress. Treat your new leather choice as the ultimate investment item—it’s meant to last decades in your wardrobe and not just seasons. Even better, its presence makes any look instantly cool.
At Vogue, we understand that a little leather goes a long way, so we’ve mapped out nine leather outfit ideas where leather just happens to be the hero piece of the puzzle, surrounded by other closet classics we know and love. Starting off strong with Mother’s perfectly pleated faux leather pants, these tailored trousers transform any look from casual to cool. Joseph’s luxe leather leggings are the definition of an elevated essential, especially when paired with The Frankie Shop’s camel-colored blazer. Equally as timeless in a wardrobe is Altuzarra’s Scobie leather midi skirt—a trend that we’ve seen transcend from the runways to the streets. There are also leather options outside of the classic black, like Cos’ burgundy shirt dress and an ivory trench coat from Simkhai. Nanushka’s vegan leather shirt and a double-breasted blazer from Massimo Dutti are go-to layering essentials to be worn atop tees and tanks to chunky knitwear. And contrary to popular belief, a leather jacket doesn’t have to break the bank in order to be considered high-quality. Take this one from Zara, for example, and see for yourself.
Find out why we’re nominating a luxe piece of leather as the ultimate transitional wardrobe staple this season. Below, shop nine leather outfit ideas that err on the edgier (and yet still elegant) side.
The Pleated Pant
Starting off strong with Mother’s perfectly pleated faux leather pants, these tailored trousers transform any look from casual to cool. Anine Bing’s quilted shell liner continues the momentum, while a striped T-shirt from La Ligne is a timeless addition. To finish, navy and white Adidas sneakers are never not welcome.
The Wear-Everywhere Leather Jacket
A high-quality investment item, like this Zara leather jacket, doesn’t have to break the bank in order to last forever in your wardrobe. Best worn with anything and everything, go the fashion-forward route and style with wide-leg pants from By Malene Birger and Mary Janes from The Row.
The Leather Shirt Dress
A crisp shirt dress is a non-negotiable piece of workwear, but why not go one step further and find Cos’ leather version in a burnt burgundy color? Khaite’s Wooster knee-high boots anchor the look, while a DeMellier tote and Mejuri necklace add bedazzlement.
The Twisted Trench
A leather trench coat is a renowned closet classic, to be worn belted for a cinched silhouette or left open as the ultimate layering essential. From Simkhai, this Angelica trench comes in a creamy off-white color, a welcome twist to the otherwise basic black. Underneath, nothing is timeless as a plain, but perfect white T-shirt, a lived-in pair of jeans, and a stylish sneaker.
The Minimalist Midi-Skirt
One trend we’ve seen transcend from the runway to the streets in total style? A sleek leather midi skirt—and Atluzarra’s Scobie skirt is the perfect pick. Keep the monochromatic moment going and style with a cashmere crewneck from Allude and Hereu’s canvas tote bag. And because sometimes the edgier, the better, find these biker boots from & Other Stories.
The Double-Breasted Blazer
Massimo Dutti’s double-breasted leather blazer is a new, yet welcome take on traditional tailoring. On an elegant evening out, pair yours with a slimming trouser from Totême and gold-embellished pumps from Bottega Veneta. Hoop earrings from Laura Lombardi are a fabulous finishing touch.

The Luxe Legging
A pair of black leather leggings from Joseph is the definition of quiet luxury, especially when styled with Anine Bing’s crisp striped shirt and The Frankie Shop’s camel-colored blazer. Gucci’s infamous lug sole loafers toughen up the look to perfection.
The Mini-of-the-Moment
Like the midi skirt, miniskirts are also having their moment, seen sported on the street style set to even our very own Vogue editors. Mango’s brown leather bomber jacket is another transitional outerwear item we’re investing in, as are these Rai sandals from The Row. A white tank top is a continuously top trending item—and this one from Nili Lotan exudes understated elegance.
The Leather Layering Essential
Nanushka’s vegan leather shirt is a must-have layering essential in any fashion darling’s wardrobe, providing subtle sleekness to any outfit in mind. Here, pair them with a matching leather pant from Agolde and little black booties from Totême. Pop some welcome color with Cos’ knitted T-shirt.
