My kids came outta me... leatha.

Will leather jackets ever be uncool again ? Probably. But that day won't be here for quite awhile. The days where leather jackets symbolized motorcycle gangs like Hell's Angels are over, but we're still using that badass stigma to punch up our girly/ simple outfits. Personally, I love the biker style jackets with the chains and zippers galore, but there are tons of other styles out there as well, such as blazer-esque types and the infamous bomber jacket. 
 
My absolute favorite: 
Balmain Leather Jacket
Approximately a trillion dollars over my budget. :(

For a cheaper version, go for the Urban Outfitters leather biker at $128
Not real leather, but still pretty awesome. 

Since the rise of the leather jacket, we're starting to see the biker styles appearing in non-leather fabrics such as fleece and suede. It's also sparked everything else in the world to be made of leather, like my favorite, leather leggings.. not leather pants, we aren't heading to the Roxy, but leather leggings. Urban Outfitters, the wonderful bandwagon store that they are, even has a lovely leather T-shirt. Yes.. I'm dying to have it, but it's dead of summer and I think I'd melt.

So as always, here are some ways to wear your leather jacket:
