The best leather jackets age like fine wine: they only get better with time. The wardrobe staple softens with wear while molding to the body, earning the “second skin” distinction often associated with leather jackets. They may be an investment, but one that pays style dividends for years — even decades — to come.

From the iconic biker and moto styles to blazers, trenches and even puffers, we’ve rounded up the top women’s leather jackets for every style (and budget). Our selects include vegan-friendly faux leather options and consciously sourced upcycled leather, as well as washed leather for those wanting the broken-in look straight off the rack. Check out our picks from All Saints, Zara, Madewell and more below, including leather jackets for under $300, under $500 and under $1,000.

1. AllSaints Safiya Leather Jacket

There’s no shortage of leather jackets at All Saints (that’s kind of their “thing” after all), but we are struck by the slightly cropped Safiya style. It’s inspired by classic flying jackets and finished with trucker details, plus a shearling collar for added warmth.

4. Staud Ashley Faux Leather Coat

This midi-length faux leather trench from Staud stands out with its contrast crinkle patent sleeves and trim detail. In all black, the texture adds just enough visual intrigue while remaining a versatile piece. 

7. Agolde Recycled Leather Charli Jacket

This Agolde button-front option has the silhouette and details of a jean jacket, but in sleek black leather with muted silver hardware. It’s the kind of piece you can throw over anything and instantly feel unstoppable. 

8. Deadwood Brooke Leather Blazer

The timeless silhouette of the slightly oversized, single-button blazer gets a major hit of cool factor in upcycled black leather. Deadwood uses excess leather from tanneries in its designs, which lends the material a soft, worn-in feel while being a conscious alternative to newly produced styles. 

9. L’Academie Nikko Leather Shacket

Oversized button-up meets leather jacket in this slick shacket by L’Academie. The rich forest green hue is the perfect fall hue and a nice break from typical black, navy and brown outerwear. 

10. Apparis Jemma Faux Leather Puffer Jacket

This quilted puffer by Apparis has a leather-like finish, so you can look cool while staying warm. 

11. Understated Leather Oversized Scrunch Jacket

Understated’s cropped leather biker jacket creates a cinched waist when zippered and belted, perfect to wear with high-rise jeans. Worn open, it cuts a chic swing shape that would look great over a long dress.
