If you've got a leather jacket, we're betting it's one of those things you wear nearly every week. And if you don't have one, you're probably on the hunt for the perfect version that works for your style. After all, they're practical, durable, they always look cool, and are decently warm this time of year. Actually, we'll let model Alessandra Ambrosio, whom we recently spoke with at the #GiltLife event in NYC, speak the gospel: “I love leather. I especially love a nice leather jacket — they're always so good."
That's why we've scoured the internet (including Gilt, where Ambrosio is currently one of three featured tastemakers) for the best leather jackets that you can zip into. Whether you're looking for an updated twist on this classic staple, or you're just in need of a no-nonsense Perfecto, take a look at the stellar lineup ahead, fit for every budget and available to shop now.
