Leather jackets are available in a variety of styles and differing shades and colours to suit any pocket or occasion. From a full length trench coat to a short fitted design, a classic bomber to a smart suede jacket, the choices are numerous.
Trench coats are full length and are worn not only as a fashion statement but also to protect its wearer against the elements. Leather makes an ideal material for this job as it is strong and durable. Leather jackets generally fall just below the hip whereas stylish bomber jackets sit just above. They are also useful in cold weather as their trademark fur lining and collar serve as a great insulator.
Suede jackets are gaining in popularity. Suede is a type of leather with a napped surface. It is soft and velvety in texture and is a popular material that is used not only in clothing but also for shoes and upholstery. Suede is made from the thinner piece of the hide which therefore makes it not as durable as leather and not waterproof. Suede and leather jackets are not generally worn as business attire but more in a casual environment where they are considered fashionable and chic. There are many styles and designs from double or single breasted, buttons or zips to fitted or belted. They are smart and trendy and always in vogue.
Over the years synthetic leather has been introduced to the market to allow the elegant leather look to be available to people from all walks of life. Pleather or play or pretend leather, as it has to come to be known, is used to replicate the appearance of leather but at a more affordable price. This type of material is often considered mediocre or second rate to genuine leather and its distinctive look cannot be mistaken.
Leather jackets make a great accessory to any outfit. Whether you are out for a night on the town or a stroll around the park, this article of clothing will spruce up any outfit. With the many designs and styles on the market and being available in an array of colours, you will be spoilt for choice. Black and brown are usually popular with the guys whereas the girls are more daring and often opt for colours such as blue, red or white. Whatever style you end up choosing a leather or suede jacket is one classic item from your wardrobe which will never let you down!
