Secrets To Keeping Vintage Leather Jackets Modern

Vintage leather jackets should be a staple in every young ladies wardrobe. Leather jackets are not only classic, but they carry with them an aura of a past era and a little piece of history.

There is a good chance you will never see yourself coming if you are lucky enough to own this treasure. If you love the vintage leather but aren’t completely into the vintage look you can still go out of the house in style.

Here are a few little “secrets” to keep your vintage leather jackets modern by adding a few pieces.

  1. Pair a great pair of modern skinny jeans and leather boots with your jacket.  The look of leather with jeans is a classic look and never goes out of style.  If your jacket has more vintage lines, then upping the look with today’s trends in jeans is a great way to mix the two eras and still look great.
  2. Nothing looks better with a flirty dress than the look and feel of leather. Wearing a flirty dress with vintage leather helps to give an edgy vibe with a touch of girliness.  Not too much of either is a great way to pair your fashion.
  3. Invest in some great, classic accessories. If you absolutely love vintage but don’t want to look like you just stepped out of a 1970 sitcom, then try pairing your clothing with classic accessories to help keep the look modern. A great leather handbag, cameo necklace or classic boots.  They go with everything and will keep any outfit you pick in check. It is a good idea to balance the overall look even if you prefer to keep it mostly vintage.
  4. Avoid too much vintage.    Vintage leather is a great addition to your wardrobe.  Don’t overdo the look by dressing in head to toe in vintage.  Sometimes overdoing it will make you appear clownlike rather than vintage chic. A big difference.  Don’t make that mistake.  Even if you choose vintage jeans and boots to go with your jackets, make sure the jeans have a more modern twist to them.  History has a habit of repeating itself so opt for a pair of boots from an era that has come back for a visit.  If flares are in, pull out the old “bell bottoms”.  But if skinny is back, throw yourself into the 80’s and wear your best vintage “skinnies”.

Vintage leather jackets are a staple in your wardrobe and if you are lucky enough to own one, then wear it proudly. Just keep your choices wise and you will be the envy of all of your friends.
