Leather jackets are shaping up to be one of fall’s biggest trends, but with such a splurge item, you want to make sure you’re getting the most for your money. We love the way that Kate Walsh takes her Chloe leather jacket and wears it so perfectly — day or night! Follow Kate’s lead and pair your jacket with a simple white t-shirt and dark jeans for day time. And at night, leave your wrap at home and add a dash of tough chic to your cocktail dress with the jacket, like Kate did with her Dolce & Gabbana sheath. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite leather jackets to get you started! Tell us: Will you get a leather jacket for fall? Would you try one over an evening dress?

This Fall It’s All About Leather Jackets!

The September issue of StyleWatch reveals how to achieve this fall’s fierce-but-ladylike look with the “in” piece of the season — a short leather jacket! It’s the perfect way of mixing uptown chic with downtown edge. Claire Danes is spot-on with her unlikely combo — a Prada chocolate bomber adds just the right dose of tough-girl attitude to her sweet dress and feminine heels. Want an easy way to add a twist — and a touch of rugged toughness — to a white tee and jeans? Try a cropped version like Katherine McPhee’s YaYa Aflalo jacket. Try a few of our favorites:
