Leather jackets have always been associated with different subcultures like bikers, rock stars, punks, goths, greasers, metal-heads as well as aviators and police. When the first Harley Davidson Motorcycle Jacket appared in the United Stated 1919, the leather jacket surely became an image that everyone wanted to follow.
Fashion experts have regarded leather to be a sex-appeal. Leather jackets have achieved a lot of iconic status mainly because of film and through the years it has changed into many different styles. The leather jacket might be seen by stars like Brad Pitt in Fight Club with his different variations of the red leather jacket or in the Terminator or the Matrix films. It can also be associated with icons like James Dean, Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.
Today the leather jacket has become a hot trend and we can see that almost every celebrity is keeping one in their wardrobe, from supermodels like Kate Moss to actresses like Kiera Knightley. It has become a must have! What I like about the leather jacket is that you can wear it with almost anything! You can wear it casual with a pair of jeans or with a nice dress on a Friday night. It’s relaxed yet chic and sexy at the same time. You can find them in different styles and colours. What has become very popular is the cropped leather jacket that can come in different sleeve lenghts. The jacket can be worn with floaty, feminine dresses or tops with skinny jeans like Megan Fox. The leather jacket can also been worn with a more sleek style together with a dress like Agyness Deyn.
