Whether it’s a pop of colour or a designer deal you pine for, we’ve got your fall leather jacket needs covered.
A) BIKER’S BEST
“A very elegant, streamlined and feminine leather jacket. It goes a bit longer than the average moto jacket: that’s a great feature.”
Andrews, Bayview Village, $875
B) PASTEL PERFECTION
“I absolutely adore the colour here, which is the palest pink. It has great details of a classic moto jacket.”
AllSaints, Yorkdale mall, $575
C) METALLIC MOTO
“This is a beautiful pewter LaMarque leather jacket that is a classic moto. The silver hardware gives it a little pizazz too.”
Want, 1788 Avenue Rd., $729.95
D) PRETTY IN PEPLUM
“This bright red is like a fire engine red, a very empowering leather jacket. I love the peplum waist, very flattering for a lot of figures.”
HiSO, $795
E) UTILITARIAN CHIC
“This is very Marni because it has an artisanal look to it. I love that it’s white inside and the generous cut.”
Holt Renfrew, 50 Bloor St. W., $3,800
F) QUILTED COOL
“At a distance, it just looks like a puffer jacket, but wow, it’s this luxurious leather, and it’s a beautiful colour.”
M0851, Bayview Village, $510
G) VINTAGE STREET STYLE
“This Alexander Wang is a wonderful nod to the streetwear trend, and I love those orange sleeves.”
Rewind Couture Revisited, 577 Mt. Pleasant Rd., $245
H) HAUTE HOODIE
“Balmain is one of the hottest labels. This leather jacket is a hoodie, a bomber and has details of a moto.”
Rewind Couture Revisited, 577 Mt. Pleasant Rd., $1,995
