How to Style a Brown Leather Moto Jacket
A beautiful leather moto jacket is one of those go-to fall pieces that come in handy and always look fabulous. Today, I want to show you a new one I just picked up that I’m enjoying!
Sometimes, I like a bit of an edge to how I dress, but little is the keyword for me. There are many great moto jackets, but some are just too rugged or masculine for my taste. It takes a bit of looking around to find one that is as soft, feminine, and refined as this.
This luxurious-looking cropped leather moto jacket is thin and buttery soft. It’s super light and comfy because it has elastic knit inserts inside the sleeves.
What I love most about it is the gorgeous raw edge draped collar. When you slip on the jacket, the collar falls any which way, creating a beautifully draped neckline. The leather’s bare back is exposed, which adds some nice texture, and the whole look is very relaxed and classy.
Do you see an excellent fit? This jacket has a beautiful shape. The color is a gorgeous tan that looks great with all the fall shades and works in spring, too!
Here’s a closer look at the zipper detail. Aren’t these zippers unique? I love this special touch. Now, you’re probably wondering about my sweater underneath…
Here it is! This space-dyed cold shoulder top shakes things up a bit. If you are tired of wearing the same sweater over and over, this soft knit is different and a little trendy.
You get a better idea of the color and pattern here.
The nice thing is that this top has so many colors; you can pick one out and use it as your accent. I’ve chosen the wine color and accented it with a wine tote.
Black booties ground the look and continue my black jeans’ long, lean line. I bought these booties last year, but there are plenty of similar types now.
This outfit blends in perfectly with nature’s beautiful fall color scheme. This look is warm and earthy, but it is also very modern and cool!

I lI love the jacket, and I appreciate your observation that it will also work in the spring! Please plan to style it for us again when spring ’18 arrives!
I love this outfit on you, and I LOVE the leather jacket! That zipper detail in the back gives it a cool, edgy look.
Hi Lori, Glad you like the jacket. It was the zippers that attracted me too. Did you know zippers are considered sporty, and sporty is youthful, so if you want to look a little younger, a zippered rather than button jacket will do it!
I love the jacket. I have just bought a new one. I finally found one in navy, which I love
Deborah, This jacket looks phenomenal on you! Can you recommend a similar style that is not “cropped”? The draped collar does soften the look.
Hi Janice, Most moto jackets are 21-24 inches long from shoulder to hem, and this is 24, so you shouldn’t find it too short unless you are super long-waisted. This jacket is nice because it is very light and so comfy. I also love the draping in the front. It makes it more elegant and feminine than your average moto jacket. You could always order and return it if you felt it was too short. Nordstrom has an excellent no-charge shipping/return policy. I hope that helps!
I love, love, love the outfit. I have a pink Moto leather jacket, a black leather crop with fringe down the arms and the back, and a black 3/4 leather jacket. I love my leather…..I might have to find a tan one…. a bird attacked my other one in a pet shop, and it put a large hole in the sleeve….unrepairable…
Great jacket!
