I love the whole rock chic image...its timeless!

I have just invested in a new cropped leather jacket from River Island...although I have spent a small fortune on it I see it as an investmant! It makes me look "hardcore":D

I've always loved good quality leather - even though I currently don't have a lot in my wardrobe. Most of my shoes are high quality leather - it wears and feels so much better.

I do have a beautiful butter soft brown fitted biker jacket and a red suede YSL Rive Gauche skirt. Two pairs of fantastic knee-high leather boots (one matt black and one in red patent).

I really like some of the leather tunic dresses that I'm seeing in the shops recently. I might be making an investment.

Leather is a fairly timeless fabric - as long as you buy classic shapes.

The military style top is excellent with a slim pair of jeans while the other regular style are not so shabby either. The full length jacket looks amazing though it's not something she's brave enough to wear out often, just usually to the odd party and with jeans and knee high black boots.

Leather is a great look! My personal style with leather would be, less is more! I wouldn't exactly wear a fully leather outfit, just vamp up a plain outfit with some leather, for example; skinny, jeans, vest tee and leather knee high/thigh high boots!

I've actually only got 2 pairs of boots and 2 leather jackets. I've quite a few leather bags also! :rolleyes:

irishvamp90

What your jackets like?thats a great look:)

What does everyone think of 3/4 length and full length leather coats?

They can be stunning but for a full length I think you'd need to be tall to pull it off.

irishvamp90

True you need height or heels:)...dont think leather coats longer ones are ever in fashion or out if you get me

Shinyboots

scottie pippen

Have a well weathered biker jacket that I bought in flip in temple bar for about €100,
When I was in Paris I got a very similar one in a 2nd clothes shop for €10, what bargain.

I like all leather jackets, all lengths are cool, but I love biker jackets best

all leather jackets look great on women, especially rocker chicks!:D

Shinyboots
