How To Wear A Leather Blazer

Q. I purchased a vintage-looking black two-button leather blazer that looked cute online, but when I tried it on, it made me look a bit too "mature" (I'm 28 and I wear a size 8)...what (if anything) can I wear with it to make it look trendy and more updated?

A. Great purchase! A vintage-inspired leather jacket is a great investment piece that you'll wear for years. Take your cue from the looks shown here to wear yours in a modern, youthful way:


You'll notice that all of the above looks include a v-neck or scoop neck underpinning. Generally, this gives the jacket a more flattering and young look than a turtleneck or high crew neck underpinning would.

Try pairing your leather jacket with:

  • a pencil skirt and ankle boots
  • a flirty, feminine dress
  • a fitted tee or tank, skinny jeans and knee boots, ankle boots or even ballet flats. Add a loosely wrapped scarf for an added layer of chic
  • a tank top, boot cut jeans and ankle boots

Also, try pushing your sleeves up a little for the latest "boyfriend" jacket look
