Few pieces are as luxe in a transitional wardrobe than a buttery-soft piece of leather. When it comes to navigating this in-between period from fall to winter, it feels natural to reach for our go-with-everything leather jackets. That said, a high-quality leather jacket isn’t the only leather outfit idea to try—consider building a look around ’90s style trousers from St. Agni, Theory’s leather midiskirt, or a sharp leather blazer. Treat your new leather choice as the ultimate investment item—one that’s meant to last decades in your wardrobe and not just seasons. Even better, its presence makes any look instantly cool.

At Vogue, we understand that a little leather goes a long way, so we’ve mapped out ten outfit ideas where leather just happens to be the hero piece of the puzzle, surrounded by other closet classics we know and love. Starting off strong with a sleek leather midiskirt: this must-have item of the season transforms any look from casual to cool. Toteme’s minimalist leather jacket is the definition of an elevated essential, especially when paired with a monochromatic maxi. Equally as timeless in a wardrobe is Bally’s leather mini—it’s part of a trend we’ve seen from the runways to the streets. There are also leather options outside of the classic black, like The Frankie Shop’s burgundy bomber and a skirt from Co in the same shade. And contrary to popular belief, a leather jacket doesn’t have to break the bank in order to be considered high-quality; Mango has a fantastic leather trench coat that’s a great example.
Find out why we’re nominating a luxe piece of leather as the ultimate transitional wardrobe staple. Below, shop ten leather outfit ideas for the season ahead.
The Minimalist Leather Midi Skirt
Midi skirts are a must-have item for the season ahead, perfect for looking chic and keeping warm as we head into winter. Pair yours with a cozy sweater and sleek black boots.
The Leather Mini Skirt
We love a leather miniskirt dressed down a bit with tomboy staples like a barn jacket, polo sweater, and moccasins.
The Minimalist Leather Jacket
Lean into the minimalist vibes of this Toteme jacket by pairing it with a monochromatic maxi skirt, classic knit, and Mary Janes.
The Leather Bomber Jacket
It doesn’t get more classic than a leather jacket and jeans, but sometimes it’s fun to play with silhouettes—try baggier denim contrasted with ballet flats.
The Leather Trench Coat
A trench coat outfit can carry you through any day—a go-to look is trousers and a simple white T-shirt styled under a cropped knit. Add sneakers and a poppy scarf for a cozy, casual weekend look.
The Leather Overcoat
Pair a super sleek overcoat with a dress and lean boots for a look that can effortlessly take you from the office to the after-party.
The Leather Pant
Leather pants feel less Bike Riders and more fashion when teamed up with a colorful knit and cozy slides.
The Leather Blazer
You can't go wrong with a classic leather blazer, straight-leg jeans, and a crisp white button up.
The Leather A-Line Skirt
Leather A-line skirts are having a bit of a moment this season. We love them worn totally ladylike, with a sweater set and kitten heels—slingbacks or boots, can’t lose.
The Leather Dress
A leather dress toes the line between elegant and tough. Pair yours with knee-high boots and silver jewelry—an easy way to look chic and stay warm.
