How To Style The Brown Leather Jacket In 2024
Would you rather wear a brown leather jacket for the rest of your life or a black one? If your answer is black, because it goes well with everything, we’ll call it a bad choice. No offense to black leather jackets, but brown leather holds more depth, making it evergreen.
Brown alone is such a deep color. It brings warmth, comfort, and relaxation, yet nobody calls it their favorite color. So, when you wear a plush, shiny leather jacket in brown, you’re taking one step away from the black bandwagon. Not to mention how brown leather can make you look more mature in contrast to the armor of black leather.
But there’s a limit to the love for brown leather jackets and to test it, we’ve compiled five leather
brown jacket outfit ideas. They’ll show you why choosing brown leather over black is a smart move.
Top 5 Brown Leather Jacket Outfit Ideas
Double the Brown Double the Fun
A brown leather jacket might seem like a bland thing to wear. You might be right to some extent but we believe that the key to turning bland into beautiful is a little styling. If you don’t know what to do with your brown jacket, here’s a hack for you. Double the brown as the top and the bottom and cut it down with your choice of colored top inside.
Secondly, match the texture; for the bottoms, choose either real leather pants or faux leather pants, but in the exact shade. It’ll make your outfit look like a set and everyone knows that sets are trending. So put together your jacket, pants, and color-breaking top together, alongside some fashionable brown boots.
Vintage Brown Lover Lady Look
Oh to be a retro lover lady with the vintage vibes of the leather era! You can nail this look in the 21st century too, you know. This outfit style falls between retro, classic, and smart casual, making it a fusion look that is perfect for diva-static fashion moments. To achieve this look, you’ll first need a brown jacket or blazer with notch lapel colors (because they’re dramatic).
Wear the jacket with a light blue, almost faded button-down shirt featuring long pointed collars. Pair these two with a midi skirt but with a twist. The midi skirt should not be your plain solid skirt or something with bold textures; a plaid or chevron pattern would do the job. The trick here is to achieve a contrast between mild and bold to showcase the essence of feminine rebellion.
Watson’s Classic Nerd on the Street
If you’re pairing your best brown leather jacket with denim jeans and still not nailing the look, you’re doing something terribly wrong. Take inspiration from every guy and girl’s childhood crush - Watson. The signature Watson look has a street-style vibe that also works as an everyday casual style. For this look, you’ll first need a brown leather biker jacket (not cropped).
Pair the jacket with a crisp white button-down which should be styled informally. Don’t tuck the shirt in; wear it loose and casual. For the denim jeans, go for a dark-wash with straight-fit. This look is perfect for petites because it accentuates the torso, giving the illusion of a taller figure.
Brunette Balancing Boss Attitude Attire
Black leather jackets are too predictable, making you seem like a wannabe gangster girl. Dark brown, on the other hand, can baffle people for a moment. It’s your perfect opportunity to strike your first impressions without giving away your real vibe. And you can do so perfectly if your overall outfit is perfect. For the snarky bossy fit, there’s no better jacket than a biker leather jacket.
While styling this outfit, keep in mind that you do not need to accessorize or wear any colors. White is your armor when you want to look innocent, but that brown leather will be there to give mixed signals. Also, go for skin-fit silhouettes and two-pieces because they give off more of a power look. Put together your white top, skinny pants, and leather jacket, alongside heeled shoes and slay queen!
Old Money Cliche Work Outfit
Brown is one of the best out of the five work color palettes. It’s not too dark like black, gray, and navy; neither is it too light like white, just the perfect balance. Wearing a brown jacket leather to work might come around as odd if you’re wearing a chunky chic biker jacket. However, if you’re wearing a classic leather jacket or one with no embellishments, then you’re on the path to the old money work fits.
For a sober and graceful old money work fit, remember to keep your entire outfit monochrome except for the jacket. The best choice of colors you have are white, cream, or khaki. Get a turtleneck or silk top in one of the light contrasting shades and pair them with a medium-waisted pair of loose linen pants. Tie the look together with a thin brown leather belt and you’re old money ready!
