Are you looking to invest in a piece that blends style and durability? A women's leather jacket is exactly what you need. Leather jackets never go out of style in women’s fashion because they go absolutely well with anything, from jeans to shorts, a simple T-shirt or a fancy top. Whether you prefer a classic or biker style, it's important to get the fit just right. But how should a leather jacket fit a woman? Let’s find out.

Before anything else, your jacket needs to fit well without being overly tight. It should follow the contours of your body perfectly in all the right areas while providing enough room to move freely and layer clothing comfortably underneath.

There are several other factors to consider as well when trying on a women's leather jacket. Let’s go through them one by one.

Type of Leather Jacket You Decide To Wear

Women's leather jackets usually come in different styles, and each one of them has different fittings. If you are looking for biker leather jackets, they usually have flattering fittings around the shoulders, chest, and waist area. For example, this Yellow Women’s Biker Leather Jacket showcases that perfect, form-fitting style.

Whereas for classic or minimalist leather jackets, they have semi-fitted cuts around the arms and torso. You can check out our Classy Narrow Sleeves Women Leather Jacket that perfectly demonstrates that fitting look.

The way a leather jacket fits you depends a lot on your body type. If you have an hourglass body type, a leather jacket that has fittings around the shoulders and waist would be perfect, whereas an athletic body looks best in a jacket that has well-defined curves.

It is important to know your body shape and take correct measurements before putting your hands on the leather jacket that will fit you perfectly.

Taking Accurate Measurements

My leather jacket is too big; the sleeves are too long. This jacket doesn’t fit well— I want a tight fitting leather jacket. These are some common issues that most women face after spending a whole lot of money on their high-quality jackets. In order to avoid these later regrets, follow our guide for proper leather jacket measurement.

Shoulder Width Measurement

To measure the shoulder width, put on any jacket that has a nice snug fitting on you. Use a measuring tape, measure from one edge of the shoulder to the other, and note it down. Your leather jacket's shoulders should fit comfortably, without being too tight or loose.

Chest Measurement

For that, stand tall with your arms relaxed at your sides. Wrap the measuring tape around your chest area up to the fullest portion and make sure that you keep your posture relaxed and natural, and not puffing your chest muscles at that time.

Torso and Waist Measurement

Do the same for the waist too. Measure at the widest spots to achieve an excellent fit.

Sleeve and Jacket Length

To get the right leather jacket, start measuring from the top of your shoulder and stretch the tape to where your belt would sit on, which is just below your wristbone or the top portion of your thigh. 

For sleeves, measure from the base of your neck to just below your wrist. If you prefer measurements that allow for more movement and extra room in the sleeves, you can also raise your arms and measure again. Proper measurements are key to a tailored fit. 

What To Wear With A Women’s Leather Jacket?

A women’s leather jacket pairs perfectly with almost every outfit. For a timeless, rebellious look, wear it over a plain black T-shirt and your favourite pair of jeans. This combination is actually quite simple yet effortlessly cool and stylish, and it also works well for everyday wear. If you want a girly look, try layering your leather jacket over a floral or printed dress. It combines femininity with edge, making it ideal for both daytime and nighttime activities.

For a more polished or sophisticated look, a leather jacket can be paired with tailored pieces. Try wearing it over a button-up shirt tucked into high-waisted trousers for a chic, modern outfit that’s suitable for work or a dinner date. You can also wear it with a maxi dress to give your look an edgy twist.

A leather jacket is a versatile piece that brings a cool vibe to any outfit, whether you’re dressing up for a professional event or just keeping it casual.
