Not a Blazer, Not a Coat—This Jacket Style Is What Everyone in Fashion Is Wearing and Discussing.

      If you reside in the UK, you're likely aware that mastering layering is crucial for dressing well throughout the year. With temperatures frequently in the early teens, it’s vital to find that ideal in-between piece—one that provides comfort without feeling too cumbersome. Of course, there are the cold winter months when only a long coat will do, and those brief summer days when you can momentarily forgo a jacket altogether. However, in my experience, mid-weight layers are typically the most valuable in a capsule wardrobe.

      So, what’s the best choice for now? Bomber jackets are certainly trending, and blazers continue to be wardrobe staples, but this season, I’ve noticed a spring jacket trend that fashion insiders are particularly keen on: the brown leather jacket. Durable and perfect for brisk spring days, this luxurious outerwear piece is quickly becoming the most sought-after layering option of the moment.

      Available in rich chocolate and chestnut shades, the brown leather jacket serves as a refreshing alternative to the traditional black, embodying a very 2025 vibe. While it retains the effortless appeal associated with leather, the softer hue provides a more relaxed and polished appearance. It complements lighter outfits better than black does, blending effortlessly with the neutral essentials that characterize a transitional wardrobe. Additionally, it pairs beautifully with the brighter, playful colors that reappear in spring, like soft peach, dusty rose, and butter yellow.

      Leather jackets are a timeless closet essential, but their styles and colors tend to shift with the seasons. Currently, brown leather bomber jackets are at the forefront, with tailored designs and slouchy bombers also gaining popularity. The spring/summer 2025 collection from Saint Laurent played a significant role in this trend shift, showcasing coffee-colored leather bombers paired with menswear-inspired tailoring last September, which encouraged the trend towards oversized layers and sharp suiting.

      The trend is already resonating beyond the Instagram fashion crowd—just last weekend, I spotted singer Camila Cabello in a dark brown, oversized bomber-style leather jacket. She kept it simple yet sophisticated, teaming it with high-waisted jeans and a fitted black top, creating a three-piece outfit I suspect will be ubiquitous in the coming months.

      With both high-street and designer labels embracing this trend, there is no shortage of stylish brown leather jackets available this season. Below, I’ve compiled a list of the best options to buy now—the ones that fashion enthusiasts are already committing to for the months ahead.
