A classic moto is a timeless staple.

Like a denim jacket or black blazer, a leather jacket is a fashion staple that never goes out of style. Simultaneously timeless and modern, it's the perfect transitional outerwear piece, especially as we head into fall. Toss one over your favorite dress or plaid flannel to ward off the autumnal chill or layer it under a heftier trench when the weather calls for it. With so many iterations to choose from, it can be hard to pick just one. Edgy motorcycle styles with hardware always come to mind, but there are other equally versatile silhouettes that are just as chic. Try a minimal draped zip-up, a cool puffer, or a cropped style—there’s something out there for every woman at every age (that’s right, anyone can rock a leather jacket).

Eye-catching faux and real leather options are available at all budgets, from affordable under $100 buys to splurge-worthy pieces from brands like AllSaints. We scoured the market and here are our picks for the best leather jackets to buy now.
