The 7 Coolest Leather Jackets To Have This Season

Say what you want, leather jackets never go out of style

By Aditi Tarafdar | LAST UPDATED: JAN 2, 2026

Leather jackets are the closest thing men have to a personality shortcut. You put one on and suddenly you’re not just a guy with keys and opinion, you’re a character in a Wong Kar Wai movie. Maybe you’re brooding in the backseat of an Arctic Monkeys track, collar up, eyes half-bored. Maybe you’re drifting through a Lana Del Rey chorus at 2 a.m., cigarette imaginary (or not) but the melancholy very real. Either way, leather does what no motivational quote ever could: it convinces the world you’ve lived.

This season, the leather jacket is about everything from playing biker cosplay or resurrecting your dad’s college years. Think less midlife-crisis Harley, more after-hours confidence (thank the fashion gods for making every trend cyclical). Designers are trimming the bulk, playing with texture, and reworking classics so they feel lived-in without looking tired. These are jackets that belong in dimly lit bars, on late-night drives, and at gigs where the band is better than the crowd. All you need to don them? Good taste and the nerve to wear it like you mean it.
