Leather jackets have been a wardrobe staple for countless people, and for good reason: these jackets are cool, showcase your individual style, and give you a chance to stand out from the crowd. But for most people, leather jackets are more of a day-off type of outerwear. At Jonval Leather and Furs, we believe that leather jackets can work in just about any professional setting. Here are a few reasons to consider wearing your jacket to work, not just on your next night out. 

They’re Timeless
Leather jackets are timeless meaning their style and lines can work with current trends, even if you bought the jacket decades ago. That means you’ll get years of use out of your jacket. When you rely on standard suit jackets and other types of outerwear, you can expect them to look dated the following year. To keep up with your coworkers, you may be tempted to replace your wardrobe—and that could end up costing you hundreds of dollars if you’re not careful. 

They Can Be Casual
Leather jackets can dress up an outfit, making them ideal for more formal work environments. But they can also work in more casual settings. It all depends on what you wear with them. Paired with a nice Oxford or button-down, your leather jacket will likely work at your desk and in the boardroom. But paired with a t-shirt and jeans, your leather jacket will show others that you’re trendy, willing to have fun, and capable of letting loose every once in a while.

They’re More Comfortable Than Other Options
Polyester is the standard when it comes to affordable business attire. And when it’s well-made, it looks nice enough to fit in most professional settings. But that doesn’t mean it’s comfortable. The fabric is often restrictive and may not breathe enough to help you regulate your own body temperature throughout the day. Leather jackets, on the other hand, stretch slightly when you move, making them easier to wear regardless of the tasks you’re performing. And since leather is naturally breathable, you’re less likely to overheat when the office’s air conditioner breaks…again.

They Go With Anything
When we say that leather jackets can go with anything, we mean it. There’s no limit to the versatility of this wardrobe staple. Wear it with a nice pair of slacks or a trendy dress to the office and blend in with your peers. Dress it down with your favorite t-shirt, ratty jeans, and a pair of Converse and you’ll look as hip as you feel.

Already Have a Leather Jacket?
If you already have a leather jacket but aren’t wearing it to work, consider doing so. You’ll create a timeless look that works with just about any outfit and accessories you can pair with it. Even better, you’ll look like the true (and cool) professional that you are.
