This or that? Lusting for leather

From biker to bomber, distressed to zippered, the leather jacket is all the rage again this season


September 05, 2015

From biker to bomber, distressed to zippered, the leather jacket is all the rage again this season. The perfect accessory to boost brio in any ensemble, it seems to be revitalising the style quotient of supermodels Cara Delevingne and Behati Prinsloo.

Cara Delevingne



Hair and make-up

Arriving back in Los Angeles, Cara seems to have had a great trip to Canada. Sporting the sans-make-up look, the Paper Towns actor managed to make her effortlessly fresh complexion shine through. The ash-blonde star gave her silky mane the boho-treatment and let it free in a casual straight style.

Outfit

She rocked an all-black ensemble featuring a pair of straight tracksuit pants, a simple T-shirt, a hooded sweater and a double-breasted leather jacket by Burberry that is priced at $5000. The ribbed detailing on the sleeves and shoulders only adds to the boldness of this avant-garde outfit.

Accessories

Cara glazed her dapper outfit with a green velvet bag and Rastafarian-coloured laced sneakers. Talk about radiating spirit with finesse. Perhaps exhausted from her trip, the star covered her eyes with a pair of oversized hippie-chic round sunglasses. We love.

Behati Prinsloo



Hair and make-up

The Victoria’s secret angel went for a luminously flushed look, while attending a party in West Hollywood, California. Livening up her complexion with peach blush and a ruddy-tinted nude lip, the supermodel sported natural waves.

Outfit

Mrs Adam Levine went for a layered but still physique-parading look. She stunned in an asymmetrical zippered leather jacket by Alexander Wang, priced at $1300. The long-limbed model also donned a cropped black top and a pair of star-embossed high-waisted flares, leaving us starry-eyed.

Accessories

Behati glammed up with a tan python clutch, a pair of black peep-toe mules that complemented her printed trousers and a long necklace that ended just at the bottom of her minuscule top. Adding colour to her ensemble, the star flaunted a tomato-red mani.
