A leather motorcycle jacket is edgy, fresh, and fun. For the over 40 girls, pair it with structured pieces. Throwing a motorcycle jacket over this ABS dress gives the look a downtown vibe – funky. It’s not trashy at all, because the he pieces play off each other. The beautifully tailored dress with the hard edge of the jacket. The suede boots add softness, and the pony bag brings another bit of texture. It’s perfectly balanced!

For most women in their 50′s, leather should have structure. Worn over a skirt makes you look fashion forward, and feminine. It’s not quite as edgy as a motorcycle jacket, but it’s certainly on trend. You’re the cool mom who manages the trends with sophistication. It’s the type of jacket you can wear over nice denim, or slacks.

Of course you can! I mean if Barbra Walters can do it, you can! You don’t want your leather to be too overpowering. The Tory Burch leather jacket is a perfect example. It’s a fine leather, not too bulky. The ruffles soften the look. It looks elegant over tweed wide-leg pants and a cashmere sweater. You want the leather to look modern, not edgy or extreme. Forget grandma … you’ll be glamma!! Lovely!
