These leather jackets are under $200 and are perfect for fall

A good leather jacket is equivalent to a good pair of jeans: comfortable, timeless and goes with just about everything. It has the power to elevate your simplest of looks and creates the perfect layer, no matter what time of the year.

In the fall, we tend to gravitate towards leather jackets mainly because of how appropriate they are for the weather in that time of year. Leather does a good job and repelling water and blocks harsh winds more than your average trench coat. Not to mention, it’s pretty mindless to toss on a leather jacket or take it with you for the day, no matter what you’re wearing. It pretty much always goes with your outfits anyway!

If you’re one to appreciate staple wardrobe pieces, you definitely need to invest in a leather jacket. Still doubting whether you actually need one? Here are a number of different ways you can style your leather jacket:

• With jeans: The simplest way to wear your leather jacket is with some jeans and a t-shirt. This is a classic, laid-back look, perfect for grabbing a coffee with your bestie or running your errands in style.

• With a dress: Fall tends to be the ultimate time to rock those midi dresses, but sometimes, it’s a little too cold. Your trusty leather jacket will accompany your look perfectly and will keep you warm at the same time!

• With your office clothes:  Are your office trousers looking a little dull? A leather jacket will spice up your look and have all your office mates complimenting your style. Not to mention, it’s usually a little chilly when you leave for the office in the morning, so this extra layer is such a blessing.
•  With your go-to skirt: You know that mini skirt you wear out on Saturday nights? You always get into your Uber shivering because hello… the temperature drops at night. None of that will be an issue if you’ve got your leather jacket! You’re welcome ;)
