Inspiration from Rachel Bilson, Kate Bosworth, Kate Moss and Nicole Kidman
I'm on the hunt for a black leather jacket, one of this fall's most popular trends. Unfortunately, a quality leather jacket can be expensive: Shopbop has 21 drool-worthy choices with an average price of approximately $800. I'd love to splurge and get a real nice, buttery black leather bomber that will last for years and get better with age - much like a good wine - but I really don't have the funds to fulfill that wish. I mean, that's the thing with budget fashion...most of the time, we're not being cheap, we're being frugal out of necessity. I know that sounds...depressing, but at the same time, it's really not the end of the world. There are certainly worse situations to be in than not being able to afford a chichi designer bomber, right? Which is why I can find solace in the fact that just about every fashion chain has a black leather jacket to offer me this year that will keep me in the black, money wise, while still looking fab.
Here are a few options I've found. It's tough to gauge the quality of leather or faux-leather online, so you may want to track one down in stores, or be prepared to ship it back if the quality is sub-par. But I think I've found some goodies, so here goes:
