Lately, I've noticed something quietly happening on the streets, in showrooms, and all over my feed: The biker jacket is taking a back seat this fall. Don't get me wrong. I love a good oversize silhouette, bulky hardware, and that whole "I could jump on a motorcycle at any second" vibe traditional moto jackets give off, but fashion people (myself included) are gravitating toward something sleeker, softer, and, dare I say, richer—a collarless leather jacket. It's simpler and often more akin to a cropped Lady Jacket than a traditional leather bomber worn by the likes of Hailey Bieber and crew.
Paired with simple straight-leg jeans and cigarette pants, the small but mighty collarless leather jacket elevates almost any outfit. I've been styling mine with wide-leg trousers and pointed-toe kitten heels this fall, and honestly, I haven't felt this put-together since discovering the magic of a perfectly tailored blazer. If you're ready to trade your moto jacket for something a little more refined but still very cool this fall, keep scrolling. I've rounded up the best collarless leather jackets to shop now before everyone else catches on.
