How to Wear Your Leather Jacket This Summer
Every winter, we look forward to the summer heat so we can finally shed the layers, but when July comes around, we find ourselves longing for the cool breeze of fall. It’s not just the change in climate we’re after, as we also end up missing our seasonal wardrobes. Afraid to wear our leather jacket this summer. Thus, it’s true what they say—we always want what we can’t have.
Because we’ve grown attached to certain clothes, we’re always on the lookout for ways to wear them across the seasons, whether we’re figuring out how to wear OTK boots and scarves in the summer or checking out Who What Wear for tips on styling maxi dresses in the winter.
This time around, we’ll be exploring how ladies can make use of their leather jackets all year round. A staple for casual wear, Lyst has showcased some of the most coveted jackets around; from a traditional biker to a multi strip leather jacket. And while leather is typically worn in cooler temperatures, like most pieces in your wardrobe, it’s possible to pull off, even in the heat.
Four Ways to Wear Your Leather Jacket This Summer

Outfit Idea #1: Summer dresses are feminine and fun, but to shake things up, try pairing it with a leather biker for some edge. Babble suggests going for a button-up jacket and a loose chiffon dress with sandals.

Outfit Idea #2: Pink or baby blue pleathers may look out of season in fall and winter, but these bright hues work great for the summer. They add a great pop of color to a plain ensemble.

Outfit Idea #3: On cooler days, you can experiment with the monochromatic look or keep it all black with a casual tee and shorts. Fashion Gum shows that this outfit can be accessorized with a backpack and high tops.

Outfit Idea #4: Feel like you’re showing too much skin with a cropped blouse? Your leather jacket will keep you a little more modest. Feel free to swap the mini skirt with any other high waist bottom.
Which idea is your favourite look? I personally love looks one and four.
I would love a leather jacket! It’s definitely on my must-buy list!
I really like it with a feminine dress shape. This is such a fun idea to do things a little differently.
I used to have a leather jacket. I wore that thing everywhere. I miss it. These were some nice outfit ideas.
I love all 4 of these looks. I would totally be trying to copy one myself if we were getting any cool summer nights! I will def keep this in mind if ever it stops feeling like 100 degrees at 8pm!
This is a cute jacket I loved it the most in the blue
I am dying for all these looks!! Love love love the last one!

The blue jacket is my favorite. I would go for that look
That blue jacket is just beautiful! Sadly I am in TX and would melt if i tried to wear leather outside this time of year but I love all these looks.
That third look is perfect! It has an edgy feel and would definitely become an outfit I would wear all the time. I’d like to think that a leather jacket can be worn year ’round.
Love the different styles you chose!
Great roundup of inspirational photos – love that leather jackets can essentially be worn year round! 😉
Totally agree! i want to wear my leather jacket but the heat is killing me, Thanks for sharing I’d probably try to wear my leather jacket to a sheer sleeve top . or like what you suggest a summer dress. ^^
