So Versatile is a seasonal column where associate fashion editor Sierra Mayhew selects one item she's recommending to everyone this season because you can wear it in so many ways. Think something timeless, chic, and flattering for all ages and body types. Plus, you'll walk away with three effortless ways to wear it.
If you walk into theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing office in January, you might expect to see a lot of puffers and wool coats, but think again. Lately, every time my fellow fashion editors and I gather, despite the cold, more than half of us are wearing a heavy-duty leather jacket. Some prefer the traditional moto style, while others are playing around with distressed brown and cargo-pocket iterations. Now when theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing fashion editors are all wearing something, you can infer that this is the It item of the season. I'd definitely call it that.
Leather jackets have absolutely peaked in the past few months thanks to a few big names wearing them on the runways and on the streets. What I love the most about the current revival of the leather jacket is that people are having so much fun remixing it.
That's So Versatile
Currently, a staple that is loved by celebrities involves an oversize leather moment with a shearling collar. Popularized by everyone's favorite designer, Khaite, it's the best take on a leather jacket that I've seen in a while. I recently acquired a similar version that's $4000 cheaper, and I'm obsessed. I wear it so often that some people might think it's the only jacket I own. In actuality, I probably have 20 to 30 others, yet I continuously wear the leather number again and again. Naming something the "So Versatile" piece of the season is a major honor. This jacket has truly earned it with its versatility and quality construction.
