Even though we are experiencing cooler temperatures now, our weather is known to be erratic which means it can turn hot and humid in the same day. So, pair your leather jacket with a thin crop top to stay cool when the temperature increases.
A simple plain crop top with high waisted jeans and paired with a leather jacket will make you look effortlessly stylish!
#2 Pair with a midi skirt

For the ladies who prefer a more feminine look, pairing an edgy-looking leather jacket with a girly girl midi skirt is the way to go.
Tuck your top in and put on a pleated midi skirt to incorporate textures into your outfit. Put on the leather jacket to add the finishing touch to your outfit. This pairing looks formal enough for work to keep you warm in your air-conditioned office but can also be worn for a night out!
#3 Pair with a maxi skirt/maxi dress

If you feel like dressing up or want to look like you put more effort into your outfit, a leather jacket plus a long maxi skirt or maxi dress will do the trick.
The leather jacket breaks up any repetitive patterns on your skirt or dress and keeps you warm at the same time, what's not to love about this combination?
#4 Pair with a black spaghetti strap top

Looking for something sexier without being too revealing? Pair your leather jacket with a lace spaghetti strap top for an edgy yet subtly sexy look!
Wear it for a night out with your besties and dance the night away in a comfy get-up that will not restrict your movements.
#5 Pair with pants

For a preppy look, pair your leather jacket with pants.
Long or three quarter pants will both look good but just remember to tuck your top in to avoid looking frumpy.
#6 Pair with a short dress/short skirt

If your leather jacket isn't cropped and is slightly longer, make your body look more proportionate by pairing it with a short dress or skirt.
A shorter outfit will make your legs look elongated and will look flattering on most people.
