Once again we are called to the back of our closets as the temperature dips to a mild and breezy climate.

This season I’m asking you to look at your old reliable and consider swapping it for a brown leather jacket. This probably isn’t some big revelatory moment, but a simple update to a classic piece can inject life into your wardrobe. There were plenty of examples of brown jackets in modern silhouettes on the fall runways as seen at Prada and Miu Miu, Saint Laurent, and even a deconstructed jacket from Acne Studios. Brown is making headway this season!

Whether a moto jacket, blazer, or bomber-style jacket, a rich brown hue paired with a fall outfit creates this warm and luxe sensibility. Unlike brightly saturated leather pieces, it’s different but not so daring to the point of unwearable. Brown makes an easy transition from black and still works seasonally with your wardrobe. Below are 5 styles to consider adding to your closet to give your black leather jacket a much-needed rest.
Madewell
As part of the 90s revival that’s been sticking around for the past few seasons, a leather blazer is the unexpected and necessary layering piece you need for fall.
Stand Studio
The worn-in look of this deep chocolate moto jacket is equal parts tough and chic. Paired with a simple camisole and wide-leg jeans, you’re ready to grab drinks with friends.

Perfect for when the temps drop, a touch of shearling at the collar and cuffs is pure luxe. The moto-style gives just enough edge to the jacket.
Levi’s
If you don’t have a motorcycle leather jacket, let this be your introduction. This will be your go-to when you’re stuck in a rut getting ready. Layer over a band tee or your favorite blouse for an instant outfit.

Might I suggest a leather button-down shirt? A shirt offers versatility and is more lightweight than its jacket counterparts.
