▲ 2 WAYS 2 WEAR 2 VINTAGE BLACK LEATHER JACKETS 


I'm not going to lie, vintage black leather jackets are hands-down one of my favorite items of clothing to possibly have in a wardrobe and to style. Leather is super durable and lasts forever, gets better with age; it's SUPER versatile and is such a great item to style with so many looks.


So...I've pulled out two super fabulous jackets from storage and I've styled them in two different ways for contemporary streetwear looks. 




The jacket shown above is a fantastic early 80s era half-trench style 3 button-down front coat, with dual front pockets, collar, and super soft leather, in excellent condition.
Available for purchase from The Sunset Sessions HERE for only $95

This look is styled with:
Knit Beanie — RVCA
Eyewear — Special 1960s vintage cateye frames from France
Tee — vintage Sex Pistols tee (cut and modified by The Sunset Sessions)
Skirt — Black denim pleated skirt by YMI denim
Tights —American Apparel
Leg warmers — These are DIY handmade leg warmers cut from old vintage wool sweaters. (You can find old cheap large wool sweaters from thrift stores and trim off the arm sleeves and scrunch them in your boots for a faux knee-high look for Autumn/Winter.) 
Boots — Custom black leather moto boots (made in New Zealand)
Jewelry — a collection of various independent etsy.com artists' designs
