Neckties & Leather Jackets
Do you like the look of leather jackets? Before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a new designer jacket, a few simple tricks might give your old leather jacket a new trendy look.
The Retro Look:
The retro look of the 60s is back in style. Vintage sunglasses, hats, leather jackets, skinny neckties, and retro sneakers have made a huge comeback in recent years. Especially younger men and women prefer this vintage look that was first popular in the late 60s. If this is the look you prefer, the right leather jacket will be a perfect accessory for you. Best are shorter jackets that end just a below the inseam of your pants. Leather jackets that are tailored at the waist are also preferred. Check out your local second hand clothing store. With a little luck chances are you will find a original from 40 years ago.
For the perfect vintage look, wear this jacket in combination with stressed jeans, a matching dress shirt, and a skinny necktie. Don’t tie the tie all the way and leave the top button of your dress shirt open.
The Business Look:
For business wear a slightly more conservative leather jacket. If your office is more on the “conservative”, traditional business attire side, then you may want to reserve this look for a casual Fridays. The jacket should have a more elegant rather than “motorcycle gang look”. Longer jackets made from smooth black leather are best. Keep the season of the year in mind as well. For business attire leather jackets are best suited for colder, winter days. Also, do not wear your suit jacket underneath. The leather jacket will take it’s place.
