The leather jacket is back and literally bigger than ever.
At Paris Fashion Week in October 2024, Bella Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley made slouchy leather jackets the heart of their street style. A few days later, Hadid walked the Saint Laurent runway, where Anthony Vaccarello’s sloping, dropped-shoulder, buckled, sinuous designs felt particularly fresh.
Sofia Richie Grainge is already test-driving the trend in America, subtly soft-launching Saint Laurent’s new leather bomber jacket on Instagram just 72 hours before Vaccarello’s October 2024 fashion show. Ta.
Posing by the pool in a form-fitting black maxi dress and flip-flops, Grainge snapped a side-view to show off the jacket’s generous proportions.
Even the most avid leather jacket enthusiasts, like Lady Gaga, are ditching the slim moto style in favor of more laid-back alternatives.
Taylor Swift also got the memo. That was proven in November 2024 when he wore a leather Chiefs jacket that his stylist bought from a fan on eBay to a Travis Kelce football game. Fans noticed the familiar wrinkles in the coat, which were the same as the one seen at home at Saint Laurent.
From the runway to game day, see how celebrities are wearing the new leather jacket trend.
