Leather jackets are a versatile component to every closet. Ranging from summer to winter shades, these jackets are a chic addition to any outfit and are in style yearlong. Not only can these jackets be worn all year, they can be paired with a variety of looks. Whether you want to wear a leather jacket to class or out at night, different styles and cuts can modify your look for any occasion.

Trendy with her bold orange Hermès handbag, this Fashionista looks runway ready wearing her black leather jacket. A common misconception people have about leather is that it can overpower a look. This Fashionista is a perfect example that styling leather in an appropriate way to match your personal style and body adds a touch of sophistication rather that drowning out the rest of your look. From the slight boost of the hidden heel in her boots, to her skinny jeans, opting for a leather jacket makes going to class a fashionable experience.

The one downside with leather jackets is that they are often pricey, especially for the college budget of a Fashionista. Visit Forever 21 to find reasonable faux leather jacket if you are too anxious to scope out a sale at a high-end retail shop. If you are all about only having the real thing, consider buying a summer leather jacket now when they are typically on sale. Summer may be a farfetched thought as we are in the midst of the holiday season, but think about this as an incentive to work extra hard in school next semester and let your leather jacket be your reward.
