If the world was a kingdom, New York would be its capital - so goes a popular saying. If you ask us why, it would be because of the high-end fashion of NYC, particularly Brooklyn.
It’s no unknown fact that New Yorkians, specifically Brooklynians take their clothing as seriously as oxygen. The New York Fashion Week is proof of it. This year the NYFW took place in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn; if you could spot it from a satellite above, Brooklyn would appear to be draped in leather. And this is because of the number of people wearing them.
Not only that, the runway also blessed us with some crazy, leather jacket trends that are bound to make you go bonkers. Luckily, you can find all these trendiest leather jackets for men and women at the Prime Leather Shop; where quality meets style. Here’s your cue to prep for this year’s leather jacket men or women trends, so buckle up boys and girls!
Top 5 Leather Jacket Trends of 2024 for Men and Women
Leather Jackets in Wild Colors
Black is basic, boring, and bland - that’s the recent verdict by Brooklynians. The recent trend revolving around leather jacket women and men is strictly full of color. And by color, we don’t mean anything sober like brown, tan, or navy; this year NYC is going all out with vivid colors. These Katy Perry biker leather jacket women and the Elvis Presley leather jacket men by Prime Leather Shop are the perfect examples. Leather jackets like these look all fierce and savage from afar, but there’s no doubt that they are quality-made. Pair these bombastic jackets with skinny jeans (they’re making a comeback, brace yourselves) and solid tops.
Extra-Long and Extra-Wide Leather Jackets
For the rest of 2024, Brooklynians have rejected the standard length and width proportions of leather jackets. They want something that stands out from regular and cropped jackets. This is why they have altered the lengths and widths of women’s and men's jackets respectively.
Proof of how good it can be is in the form of the Jennifer L jacket and Maverick bomber jacket. The long Jennifer L jacket can give the illusion of a tall figure while the Maverick shows off extra-broad shoulders. Pair these statement pieces with basic white tees and denim jeans.
Leather-on-Leather and Bubble Wrap
Another exciting trend for women spotted on the runway was leather-on-leather. This means you can live your leather fashion fantasies to the fullest by wearing Prime Leather Shop’s gorgeous Simone Biles leather jacket with faux leather tights, leather belts, and choker - full-on gothic.
As for men’s intriguing leather trends, Helmut Lang introduced a special bubble-wrap imitated silk fabric to go with leather jackets. Though this bubble-wrap silk can be controversial, a trend is a trend. Pair the bubble-wrap silk shirt with the Classic black mens leather jacket by PLS for loads of texture and depth.
Worn-in Leather Jackets and Sheer Textures
You might have guessed by now that the 2024 trends featuring leather jackets are pretty abysmal, in a good way. You’ll barely find the good old classics making their way to wardrobes this year. But, the worn-in women leather jacket trend is one that is loved by all. Women's jackets like Taylor S biker jackets have that hint of distress and an overall composed look.
For men's fashion, you can wear a classic leather jacket but the supporting garment has to be odd. A cool trend by NYFW is to pair leather with sheer textures. For example, you can wear the Bruno M Classic mens leather jacket with a muslin or georgette button-down with a deep neck. No doubt, this combo hits better than cheques.
Perfecto Leather Jackets and Loads of Pockets
Baggy Perfecto leather jackets for women are the ultimate go-to for Brooklynians post-NYFW. This 50’s trend is repeating itself with a shebang alongside skinny jeans and shorts. You can find baggy Perfecto leather jackets at Prime Leather Shop; our favorite one is the Adele women leather jacket. Its color and design are perfect for this leather weather.
While Perfecto jackets are all the rage for women, we can’t say the same for men’s fashion. The only new development seen in men's jacket designs is they’re loaded with pockets. Just like the Jacob Hooded Jacket by Prime Leather, which has pockets in and out. It's easy to pair with anything.
