Fall is still weeks away, but street style is already serving inspiration for the new season. Outfit after outfit, the fashion set keeps dropping the same fall shopping hint: It’s time to buy a leather blazer.
Leather blazers aren’t strangers to permanent collections—just look to editor-beloved brands like Nanushka, Nili Lotan, Materiel Tbilisi, and Veda. Minimalist styles in black and brown are still in heavy rotation, but a wider color palette and boxier, extra-oversized silhouettes have entered the mix. We’ve come across cloudy whites, slate blues, and blush pinks in the leather blazer lineup: muted tones that can carry summery knits or dresses way past Labor Day with the best of the basic neutrals.
No matter the shade, leather blazers are the transitional jacket de rigueur. Now the question is…which will you choose?
Come for Materiel’s sharp tailoring and asymmetrically stacked pockets. Stay for the cloud-soft eco leather, a signature of the Tbilisi-based brand.
Nanushka has been a vegan leather authority since 2006, but its commitment to chic yet environmentally conscious design never gets old. You’ll definitely see the brand’s latest espresso leather blazer in New York Fashion Week street style. Why not make it your own?
A hybrid between a single-breasted blazer and a leather moto jacket, this oversized Veda design is thoroughly modern.
If you’re itching to branch out from neutral shades, Babaton’s slate blue blazer is a must.
No collars, no pockets, no problem: This collarless blazer is minimalist chic.
Want a classic blazer with a teaspoon of drama? Off-White has you covered with leather lace-up sleeves.
No fall going-out look is complete without a cropped leather blazer. It’ll help you mix up dimensions and textures, without losing the classic blazer vibe.
While we like the idea of structured leather, the oversized slouch of this one is very inviting. Try it with baggy jeans and a sleek bodysuit.
Horsebit pocket embellishments imbue Gucci’s black leather blazer with vintage flair. The house’s design signatures have never looked so sleek.
This shade hits somewhere between blue and gray and is the neutral we never knew we always needed.
Multi-color buttons lend this boxy cut jacket a fun twist and a cool ’70s vibe.
