Oftentimes, neutral toned leather jackets are preferred over colored jackets due to the fact that people tend to stay in their comfort zone. Although that isn’t exactly a bad thing, but trust us when we say that you’re missing out on the good stuff by ignoring bright hued leather jackets

Go unconventional by choosing bold and bright hues. Try pairing a red biker jacket with a white jumpsuit for a sleek and bold look. Slide on a pair of white heels for added effect. This look puts the entirety of the highlight on the show stopper red jacket. 

If you want to step out of your comfort zone yet still want to blend in, go for a cool toned blue leather jacket. Pair a blue leather jacket with a simple white polo shirt and a pair of straight cropped jeans. Finish off the look with a pair of sneakers. This look will go well with beginners who are just venturing out of their comfort zone, not wanting to stand out too much.

In order to achieve a feminine and chic look with a leather jacket, simply wear it over a dress. This is another combination that females tend to avoid. A common misconception regarding this outfit is that it doesn’t look flattering. We beg to differ because, with the right confidence, anyone can nail any outfit.

Try pairing a floral printed mini dress with a suede jacket for a refreshing and spring vibe. Slide on a pair of suede ankle boots for added effect. Remember to opt for similarly hued ankle boots and jacket so that your printed dress stays in the forefront. 

You can also swap the mini dress with a long dress. A simple bodycon dress paired with a biker jacket can instantly up your outfit game and the best part? It can be styled in seconds. Finish off the look with black Chelsea boots and cat eye glasses to look like a chic queen.
