A leather jacket is undeniably a wardrobe staple, particularly as we head into spring. We're guilty of shrugging off our thick winter coats at the first sign of long-awaited sunshine, only to end up shivering after five minutes spent outside. Enter: a leather jacket as the perfect outerlayer. Warm enough to keep away the chill in the air, while also being stylish enough to instantly elevate any and every outfit.
When it comes to your leather jacket of choice, Primark's high-neck faux leather utility jacket is hard to beat – not least for its super affordable £30 price tag.
With its boxy, intentionally oversized fit, the design offers a modern take on utility. There's no denying bomber jackets are everywhere right now, but a gathered, elasticated waist allows for a contemporary take on the shape that also gives the option of highlighting your waist.
However, the standout feature is easily the high funnel neck that leads to a wide storm flap and concealed zip fastening on the asymmetrical front for a clean finish.
Crafted in a smooth, leather-look material with a rich dark brown finish, decorative panel seaming adds structure. All in all, the result is a garment that looks far more expensive than its high street price tag.
As for how to style it, this jacket looks just as good paired with jeans as it does over a slinky satin slip dress and knee-high boots for an edgy contrast on your next date night look.
