Have you noticed, the leather jacket has gotten sexier and more versatile? A good leather jacket should be able to be worn with anything from a grungy pair of jeans to a cocktail dress.

Hooded leather jackets are one particular style that's taken off, with too many stars to name being snapped wearing the Mike & Chris version. Cropped cuts are also great for right now, as are vintage styles and anything that can be worn open in that nonchalant, effortlessly sexy way.


Vanessa Minnillo out and about in her leather jacket; Keira Knightley and Jessica Alba are both fans of the Mike & Chris 'Maxwell' leather hoody.



Models working the leather jacket trend: Daria Werbowy and Gemma Ward


Do you have a leather jacket? How do you wear it?

I dont have one, but have been thinking about getting one. They look so sexy on some people, but I am just not comfortable in them... i dont know if I feel retrained, but I am nervous about looking... I dont know... but i am short, and little with short blonde hair and as much as I love them on other people I havent found one that seems to suit my look? :(

Of course I'm going to push this trend for all it's worth ;) But seriously, I'm only 167cm and wear my Magdalene one with EVERYTHING from smocks to skinnies - boots to flats and my biased view is that it works!

Yes Tan, that's one of three but it's my fave - esp since it'll work through spring with the cropped sleeves and open front. Remember there are always mate's rates for rogers!!!

I have a knee length cream leather trench which is a regular in my wardrobe I ♥ it. I love the short biker look thats going on, and adore the hooded one of beckyb's I am just sceptical for my own wardrobe...
