The Best Leather Biker Jackets on The High Street
Leather Jacket, Zara, £99.99
Why we love it: Zara’s prices are always competitive, but a 100% leather jacket for under £100 is incredible. It has everything, from zip detailing to pockets, weighty lapels to a belted hem, making it a must-buy on a budget.
Made of: 100% sheep leather.
Downsides? The lining is 100% polyester – you’ll have to ditch this one once the cold sets in.
Leather Biker Jacket, £169, Topshop
Why we love it: The slightly off-black colouring and buckle-adorned lapels make it a stand out. It’s also thin enough to be the perfect layering piece.
Made of: 100% sheep leather.
Downsides? It’s a little busy.
Leather Biker Jacket, £199.99, H&M
Why we love it: H&M’s premium pieces are adored, from cashmere to shearling. We love the polished leather and belt detailing. It’s also dry cleanable.
Made of: 100% leather.
Downsides? The acute crop means that those after a classic should avoid.
Onyx Leather Jacket, £295, Hush
Why we love it: The subtle crop elevates this design from the pack as the mullet length makes it sit in the perfect position to be layered with dresses, skirts and oversized knits. The leather is also butter-soft.
Made of: 100% Lamb leather.
Downsides? The shoulders are a little padded – avoid if you’re already broad.
Clare Leather Biker Jacket, £395, French Connection
Why we love it: The optional leather tie waist singles this piece out – on the surface it is a traditional biker, yet the cinching detail throws a feminine twist on a classic. It’s warm too, a quilted lining gives this year-round appeal.
Made of: 100% real leather.
Downsides? Removing the tie waist leaves the belt loops which distract from the clean lines of a classic biker.
Leather Biker Jacket, £299, Karen Millen
Why we love it: With rock’n’roll attitude and military heritage, the leather biker jacket has become a wear-with-everything wardrobe staple. Cut from the softest premium leather, it features three pocket detailing and contrasting gold hardware.
Made of: 100% real leather.
Downsides? It’s specialist dry clean only
