The Two-Piece Set

Leather Panelled Midi Column Skirt, £250 | Per Una

Two-pieces are having a moment. Wear a matching jacket and skirt for maximum impact or break them up with denim, a white tee or your favourite knit. Burgundy is the cool girl’s go-to shade.

The Funnel-Neck Jacket

Oversized Leather Jacket, £149.99 | Mango

The funnel neck is one of the season’s biggest outerwear trends. With its high neckline and clean shape, it’s a great alternative to the usual biker. 

Available at MANGO.COM

The Barrel-Leg Trousers

Leather High Waisted Barrel Leg Trousers, £389 | Jigsaw

Leather trousers have had a new-season update, with barrel-leg shapes putting a cooler spin on the classic. The curved silhouette does all the talking, especially when styled with a simple tee or chunky knit. Add a pointed boot to keep things feeling sharp.

The Cropped Jacket

Short Leather Jacket, £449 | ARKET

Cropped leather jackets have the power to instantly pull a look together. The shorter length works well with high-waisted denim, wide-leg trousers and fuller skirts.

Available at ARKET.COM


The Peplum Jacket

Hope Leather Jacket, £1,000 | Ducie

Peplum shapes are back but they’re so much cooler in leather. The nipped-in waist and obvious flare give it the kind of shape that feels perfect for now. Wear it with 90s-style jeans or relaxed trousers.

Available at DUCIE.CO.UK

The Oversized Culottes

Faux Leather Longline Culottes, £42 | ASOS Design

For something a little different, try an oversized culotte. The wider, cropped shape makes a nice change from the usual leather trousers. Balance out the volume with a slim-fit top and knee-high boots.

Available at ASOS.COM

The Wide-Leg Trousers

Leather Effect Balloon Trousers, £39.99 | Zara

If you’re investing in leather trousers, wide-legs are a good place to start. They feel a little less obvious than straighter styles and work just as well with a chunky knit as they do with a sharp blazer. Black is a classic but chocolate brown is a softer option.

Available at ZARA.COM


The Cropped Bomber

Faux Leather & Faux Fur Mix Short Jacket, £111.30 (was £159) | Karen Millen

A cropped bomber is an easy way to update your leather jacket collection. It works particularly well with high-waisted tailoring  and full skirts, giving a little more definition to the waist. 

Available at KARENMILLEN.COM

The Full Skirt

Leather Effect Midi Skirt, £29.99 | Zara

A full skirt is an effortless way to make a statement. The volume adds impact, while the leather gives the feminine shape a tougher edge. Keep things simple up top with a fitted tee or cropped knit.

Available at ZARA.COM

The Reworked Bomber

Hudson Faux Leather Bomber Jacket, £460 | The Frankie Shop

A leather bomber is a wardrobe staple but unexpected proportions – like balloon sleeves and a wider fit – can make it feel more on trend. It’s the kind of jacket that makes even jeans and a tee feel more pulled together. 

Available at THEFRANKIESHOP.COM


The Pencil Skirt

Chloe Leather Skirt, £650 | Ducie

Leather pencil skirts are back but a longer length feels more modern. It’s chic without being too polished, making it just as good for everyday as it is for the evening. Throw on an oversized knit or a cropped jacket to play with the proportions.

Available at DUCIE.CO.UK

The Fur-Trim Jacket

Ambra Shearling Hooded Short Coat, £1,550 | The Frankie Shop

Leather and faux fur is everywhere this season. The contrast in textures gives this jacket a more vintage feel – wear it with loose-fit denim or a long skirt and boots.
