The style index: blouson jackets

Leather (and faux-leather) jackets to give you wings

It's been a minute but leather jackets are back. To secure top style points make sure yours is a blouson style; think one part 80s C.I.D cop and one part French fashion editor, the cut should be slightly oversized and blouson and the colour black or dark chocolate brown. Wear with jeans or tailored trousers or over a party look as seen at Saint Laurent - hands stuffed firmly in pockets for added attitude.
