The Leather Woes

The one piece of clothing jostling to be on top of my ''Wardrobe essentials'' is the all time classic leather jacket.A massive number of men think of The Clash or The Sex Pistols  when they see someone in a leather Jacket .Hold on ,take a breather because a leather jacket is one of the most versatile piece of clothing for men ,has always been one. If you don't want to categorize yourself as a heavily tattooed ,beer chugging ,foul mouthed Punk ,you need to dress up that Leather Jacket. 


Modern day Leather jackets are streamlined and fit you like a suit jacket and trust me it should fit like its your power suit. Wear it with a Slim Fuss free T shirt and you are ready to rock the downtown scene. Rule of thumb here is to go slim. You cant afford to ruin your £1000 worth a Jacket with some baggy pants. Wear it on a dark slim jeans or chinos and you have your own Ryan Gosling Moment like this below:

Take Cues from the Timberlakes and Goslings of the world when in doubt.These boys do the leather job to the T.


For Fashion mavericks who know how to carry it off,take your favorite leather Jacket to the office. I know for most of men ,that will seem to be an unmatched combination but guys there is nothing like walking around the office in a leather Jacket when you boss is stifling in his suit.The word is ''Bomber Jackets'' in soft leather which are cut slim and are magically light.Wear it on a sleek shirt with small collars and club it with a Slim tie.Tie pin is optional but if i would have been you,i would have clipped it between the second and the third button on the shirt.This look is very glam without exclaiming you to be  ''The Rocker dude'' of the office.

I have done the ''leather jacket in the office''  way too many time and its so cool that you can play it around with ''work'' trousers and with ''play'' trousers alike.The key is how stylishly innovative you can get with your leather jacket.Wear it with a leather pants and risk being taken to be someone from Sons of Anarchy or club it with a Jean and loafers and get the VIP section in the bar. Remember to take good care of the jacket and it will stay with you with each passing seasons.
