The 2020 Way to Wear a Leather Jacket
It's not uncommon to hear the phrase "leather jacket" and automatically think of the classic moto style we all own at least one of. After all, the basic has reigned supreme for years, if not decades with every brand having its own version and every price point containing endless options. However, these days (among the fashion set at least), an entirely different style of leather jacket is on everyone's radar and, of course, Instagram feed. It's the leather blazer that, in line with the overarching tailoring trend that's been taking over for several seasons, has started to steal the spotlight from its edgier counterpart. They can be found on every trendy shopping site, every influencer, and every stylish girl from coast to coast and country to country.
So naturally, when we saw this shift begin to happen, we knew that we needed to get our own Who What Wear collection on board. As we always do with the must-have items of the moment, we designed our very own leather blazer (complete with a figure-flattering belt) for less than $40 because that's just what we do. To see and shop the blazer (and get all the outfit inspo you could possibly need), just keep scrolling.

This is an outfit I think we're going to see on countless street style stars all throughout fashion month.
You can never go wrong styling any jacket with jeans and a T-shirt.
If, like me, you're not that into color but want to venture away from all black, try a graphic black-and-white look.
A cinched waist makes all the difference.
When in doubt, pair our leather blazer with any and all other neutrals.
There's no such thing as too much leather right now.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
