Of all the wardrobe staples that make up a fall capsule, none feel quite as synonymous with the season as the black leather jacket. The classic outerwear piece endures the test of time, and once you add a chic style to your arsenal, you're sure to keep it in your closet for years. But with such a wide range of choices available, finding the perfect fit (literally and figuratively) is easier said than done. Thankfully, you can look to the most popular leather jackets for an idea of where to start.

Whether you’re looking for an option reminiscent of James Dean or one that is sleek and polished like a blazer, a leather jacket is the perfect way to add an effortless edge to any outfit. Pair yours with a graphic T-shirt and jeans for a casual weekend ensemble. For a more elevated approach, wear it with a boxy button-down blouse and a neutral-hued pleated midi skirt with knee-high leather boots.

Like a good pair of vintage jeans or a classic white tee, finding the right leather jacket takes trial and error. That said, several fashion lovers noted their favorites (and even left reviews) for you to find the ones worth the investment. Ahead, scroll down to see the most-loved leather jackets to incorporate into your fall wardrobe and why they’re so popular below.
