The Return of the Leather Jacket: The New Trend of Fall

Hot trend of autumn: many celebrities, starting with Daniel Craig, have already appeared in public in a leather blazer. Probably, this fashion will reach us very soon, so it is worth getting ready.

We all remember this essential attribute of the 1990s, when our men certainly wore leather jackets. Since then, fashion has changed several times, our companions have changed their clothes and started to masterfully wear cashmere and the finest wool - and jackets are back on the catwalk in new autumn-winter collections, and in glossy magazines. The latter, by the way, has already begun lamenting in the style of “the nightmare of the 90s with all this endless machismo is returning”, but since the conductor of this wardrobe item was not just anyone, but James Bond, we will have to accept it and rejoice at how successful some models can be.

Classic Leather Blazer for Bond

Daniel Craig came to the Stephen Colbert show in a leather blazer to announce that he would be returning to the role of a super-agent in the very near future. Naturally, such news could not go unnoticed, and his relaxed and at the same time brutal appearance immediately caused a wave of imitators. Of course: a well-cut black jacket that fits the figure, just below the belt, emphatically simple black T-shirt and skinny trousers with a turn-up at the ankle in a complex dark khaki. Infinitely stylish and very sexy. The look is completed by suede high boots in a deep graphite color on a flat “sporty” sole without a heel: yes, the fashion rule that forbids mixing shiny and matte textures has long been outdated.

Simple form: no exaggerated proportions

The main rule with leather jackets this fall is nothing extra. No unnecessary details, pockets and lapels should be almost invisible. The main thing is no extra space between the jacket and the body: this is the main difference from the same 1990s, when the most fashionable men wore exclusively oversized, and it looked a little scary. Leather - only the best quality, soft and pliable, with a slight shine or even matte.

The shoulder is natural, the length is normal for a jacket

The shoulder size is as natural as possible, without the slightest exaggeration, the line remains strict and calm. Fit is a must, the permissible length of the classic model is at most to mid-thigh. Robert Pattinson appeared in similar blazers in the September GQ - in two at once, for greater persuasiveness, and Quentin Tarantino at the film festival in Los Angeles. "Leather jackets" and "bombers", so beloved in recent years by men all over the world, are also not gone anywhere - the options that mix all the trends at once are recognized as very hot.

What to wear with

Stylists claim that a set in which a leather blazer is the star should be fairly simple in its color combination, but it cannot be monochrome; you should not try on images from “The Matrix”. It is most reasonable to use classic men’s calm colors or choose deliberately bold bright shades and skillfully mix them; prints and too noticeable textures of materials are best avoided. Another version of a jacket tends to be a coat — this is an elongated version, which is recommended to be worn with a belt.
