A Leather Moto Jacket in Fall’s Prettiest Hue

A leather moto jacket is to Fall, like peanut butter is to jelly.  They are the perfect combination that just seems made for each other.  While moto jackets can be considered a classic wardrobe staple, the color choice can add a new vibe.  Typically worn in black, here’s a new color to try for a modern update to the classic look.

Fall colors are traditionally warmer jewel tones of greens, burgundies, oranges, and browns.  Be it the change in the leaves, or the crisp cool air, warm colors add a cozy feel.  By far my favorite Fall color is all shades of plum and burgundy.  No matter what your skin tone, there is a shade of this color that will suit you.  Try leaning towards more burnished brick tones for warmer or darker skin, and more violet based berry tones for cool or light skin for enhancing your natural tones.  On the other hand, if you want your look to pop, you can choose the contrasting color to add more dimension.

This faux leather moto jacket from has the perfect little puff sleeves and mulberry hue.  It also comes in a beautiful caramel color as well.  It was hard to decide between the two, but ultimately I picked the cooler berry tone.  Faux leather is a great option when you don’t want to pay the genuine leather prices.  I think for warmth, I would opt for real leather, however this little faux number is great for those slightly cool days when you just to need to add a layer.

Pair this with jeans and a sweater for a casual day out and about.  I’m wearing a chunky white sweater from .  I jumped on this one since white sweaters are not the easiest to find.  They go with everything from jeans to skirts to pants.  There are some pretty good ones out there right now so grab one while you can!  I’m also wearing my tan boots that I’m rating as my best buy of the season.  They are the perfect tan hue that warms up every outfit.  I also wore them with my favorite new dress that I’ve already worn several times.

Try layering your faux leather moto jacket over a dress for added texture.  The key to styling stand-out outfits is layering and coordinating.  This paisley print dress from coordinates seamlessly with the berry tone of the jacket.  It adds to the effortless feel of the look.  Effortless isn’t always easy, sometimes it takes a little work to appear completely effortless.  An unexpected hue like this moto jacket will make coordinating many outfits fun and fast.
