Purchasing a proper leather jacket will not only last you forever, but they are extremely versatile and a worthy investment. A basic essential and a no brainer when it comes to building your wardrobe! Putting on a leather jacket is like wearing a coat of armor, it just makes you feel like a bad-ass. The fact that there are several colored jackets only means that there is a style for everyone and countless ways to style it. But first we must consider the fit:A perfect leather jacket fitWhen it comes to buying a colored leather jacket always consider the importance of the fit, especially on the shoulders. Always look at the shoulders to get the perfect fit by keenly looking at the arm holes. High-cut armholes give a nice, tailored shape to your arms and shoulders, versus lower cut armholes that might make your jacket appear baggy, creating an unkempt look.

The last thing you want is a leather jacket that's too big in the shoulders or too long in the sleeves. Ways to style your new-found leather jacket If your style is casualA colored leather jacket is the perfect piece as an outerwear; don't want to spend too much time picking out an outfit?
