It is finally spring, which means that it is time to bring out this emblematic jacket … and no, it is not the trench!
The sun has finally pointed out, and hopefully, for a long time. It is therefore high time to change your wardrobe and bring out its colored spring and summer outfits. Exit the big sweaters, the down jackets and the gloves: make way for t-shirts, Bermudas, skirts, glasses … but also to this jacket that we see each time that the weather is in good fixed!
A little less old than the Burberry trench, it nevertheless has a long and beautiful story. Indeed, it was appreciated by the pilots, especially during the first and the Second World War. Then, it was adopted by bikers in 1928, when Irvin and Jack Schott created the first model in the United States. But the story does not stop there. The famous jacket was then worn by Hollywood stars, propelling it to the front of the stage. From Marlon Brando in The Wild One in Olivia Newton John in Greaseor Tom Cruise in Top Gun : All of them had it in common. This is how the leather jacket became trendy.
Initially worn to protect yourself from low temperatures in cockpits, the leather jacket was then adopted for its style and quickly became a symbol of rebellion and anti -conformism. Not only was she an essential element of the wardrobe of rockers and singers, like Françoise Hardy, but in the 1990s, she quickly found her place in that of top models like Kate Moss.
Since then, the leather jacket has been carried by all, without exception. There is not a celebrity, French or international, which has not worn it at least once in his life. It is a timeless who makes a comeback each spring and fall and always the same model: the traditional black leather jacket.
Obviously, there are a multitude of models. Short, long, oversize, curved, black or available in red, pink, blue … there is something for everyone and especially every day! With a skirt, a dress, a more casual look composed of jeans and moccasins: the leather jacket is worn with everything.
If you don’t have them yet in your wardrobe, do not hesitate to take a look in the thrift stores to find your happiness. Not only is it eco-responsible, but the best leather jackets are also often in second hand, for only thirty or twenty euros!
