If Gen Z's latest fashion declaration that our beloved blazers are so last year has you trembling, let us point you toward our new outwear staple of choice: the leather bomber jacket.
While we can't imagine the blazer will go the way of their denim counterpart, the skinny jean, and reach total sartorial exile, there has been a clear shift among the style set to favour leather as the jacket du jour.
Our first hint that the oversized leather jacket, particularly retro-inspired bomber iterations, would become the it-girl's next big winter trend came on none other than Kendall Jenner.
The model stepped out during Paris Fashion Week last year in a shiny brown leather jacket, paired back with straight leg blue jeans, square-toe boots and tan Siegelman Stable cap.
Late last year, both the 818 founder and bestie Hailey Bieber turned heads in an inflated, quiet luxury take on the style sporting the LOEWE puffer bomber jacket.
Hailey's been another adoptee of the bomber jacket movement (regularly spotted in pieces from Acne Studios), regularly seen styling the jacket with everything from jeans and loafers to miniskirts and sneakers.
If you're looking to emulate the aesthetic yourself, opt for vintage-inspired finishes and oversized fits, and scroll on for ELLE's top picks of the best oversized leather bomber jackets.
