The Timeless Jacket Trend You'll Get Compliments on for Years to Come

There's been one jacket making the rounds on A-listers and street-style stars lately, and that would be Khaite's shearling and leather aviator jacket. (Celebrities like Alexa Chung and Laura Harrier were recently spotted wearing it, just so you know.) But it's not just Khaite that has leaned into the pilot-inspired outerwear trend. There are so many other labels out there interpreting the leather aviator jacket, which often features a shearling collar, a zipper up the middle, and knit cuffs. Other features can include buckles at the neck for an extra snug fit and shearling trim along the hem, cuffs, and even the pockets.
Original flight jackets were made with shearling and sheepskin lining because the planes had no insulation, but it's for this reason that they're a great option for freezing cold winter days. Buy yours oversize to layer chunky sweaters underneath or get one that's fitted and cropped for more of a fashion (rather than functional) statement.
Below, I've rounded up 30 of the best leather aviator jackets in all different colors, each with their own unique details. Did I mention they're selling extremely fast? Better start scrolling.
