What to Wear with a Men's Leather Jacket?

If there’s one truth that stands the test of time, it’s this: the leather jacket remains a staple in men’s fashion. A symbol of character, durability, and bold style, it represents a wise investment for any man looking to build a timeless wardrobe. As a statement piece, it transitions seamlessly through the seasons, as long as it's properly cared for.

But owning the right leather jacket is one thing. Knowing how to style it to reflect your taste is another. At Ernest, our experts share their best tips to help you create sharp, comfortable outfits that reflect your image, whether for everyday wear or special occasions.

The Black Leather Jacket: A Timeless Classic

With a well-fitted black leather jacket, the key is to play with contrasts to highlight the elegance of your silhouette. A structured white shirt or a black-and-white patterned version will bring brightness to your look. Complete the outfit with dark sunglasses, well-fitted dark jeans or chinos, and polished leather shoes.

The result? A clean, modern, and confident look reflects Ernest's attention to detail. It's perfect for going from the office to dinner with friends without missing a beat!

The Leather and Down Jacket (Bomber Style)

Versatile, bold, and adventure-ready, the leather down bomber is more than just a jacket: it’s a statement piece for free spirits who like to move with style. Want a casual yet polished look? Go with the classic combo: well-cut jeans and a premium T-shirt. Need an extra layer of warmth for chilly breezes? Just slip a wool turtleneck underneath. The result: a practical and striking look, ready for all your outings.

The Colored Leather Jacket

Nowadays, leather jackets come in various colors (green, navy blue, burgundy, etc.). Since your leather jacket is the centerpiece of your outfit, we recommend opting for neutral tones for your pants, along with solid-colored, classic shirts and cardigans.

Ernest’s in-house brand, Anthony of London, is proud to offer two contemporary versions that capture the essence of urban sophistication.

The green leather jacket embodies refined boldness. Its semi-fitted cut and stand-up collar add structure to the piece, while its olive tone offers a subtle alternative to classic black, perfect for the man who wants to stand out with elegance and confidence.

On the other hand, the navy model with contrasting accents evokes understated elegance—ideal for a more discreet yet equally refined everyday style. Its supple lambskin leather finish provides extra comfort and long-lasting quality throughout the seasons.

These pieces showcase Ernest’s craftsmanship, with modern cuts, premium materials, and attention to detail that reflect over 65 years of expertise in men’s fashion. There are two choices, and one goal is to help every man express his style, without compromise!

Neutral Pants and Shoes to Match the Jacket

To pay tribute to decades when style had flair, there’s nothing better than pairing your leather jacket with understated pants, like straight-cut dark blue jeans, and matching leather shoes. This well-balanced duo recalls the confident, effortless charm of the '70s and '80s, when outfits had undeniable character. You’re reviving a classic with a modern, refined Ernest touch by focusing on clean lines and coordinated tones.

A Cream Leather Jacket to Balance a Bold Top

Contrasts are key to creating stylish and elegant outfits. If you’re wearing a sweater or shirt in a warm, vivid color, consider pairing it with a light leather jacket in white, cream, or beige.
