Biker Babes!

Cool chicks and biker babes have been in on my number 4 closet essential for, like, ever.  Although you don't need to own a Harley to get in on this next wardrobe essential....just throw it over a flirty frock or jeans and a tee and you're good to go. Getting better with time and in mostly cuts that are timeless, number 4 is a black leather jacket...

<---------Sandy showed us her moves in a sexy all black ensemble in Grease....Love that red silk lining.  Pretty intense.

I was just passing by my local Urban Outfitters recently and I saw the huge "SALE" signs posted all over the windows. I mean....it was fully on my way to my mailbox. A completely justified stop. Right when I walked in the door there was an amazing little sale rack with about five leather jackets, all on SUPER sale, $9.99! (Note, on ShopStyle it's not marked down quite as far, but still a steal!)

A great leather jacket can be suitable for plenty of occasions. Right now we're in a pretty serious heat wave so the thought of wearing much of anything is kind of dreadful. But in general, this item will be a staple in your wardrobe. Remember that maxi dress I said you should buy? Yep, these go together. Even the right combo of wrap dress and leather jacket can work!

My absolute favorite that I've found online is by Nicole Richie's Winter Kate.
Shop that one here...

More Winter Kate...

I love a motorcycle style for a fashionista with an edge. This jacket isn't quite as versatile as a clean cut jacket a la Winter Kate. If you're looking for something with a little more flare a great mid point is a bomber jacket. It's got some detail but will still last trends and seasons. And there's SO many cute ones, like mine from urban ;)

And for the fashionista going out on a bit more of a limb, here's some of my picks for ultra cool leather jackets that are a little more styled than the standard staple!

More BCBG Max Azria...

A leather jacket will instantly add an element of cool to your outfit and in black, it can still be your staple "black jacket" that stylists always say women should have. I just say, if you should have an item why not make it be cool?

<----Kate Moss.  Decidedly Cool.

I love my animal friendly faux versions, but the real leather ones are lovely and while they are a bit pricier remember that they're investments into your wardrobe. Worn leather just looks better with time! Do you kind of maybe need this item? Is it a wardrobe essential? In the words of Sandy....Tell me about it, Stud.... ;)
