How To Wear A Leather Jacket
















Clothing, no matter what item, should fit. I can't express this point enough. When it comes to leather jackets, or any jacket for that matter, the general rule is the shoulder seam should hit at the end of your shoulder. Leather should be snug but not too tight. It should be fitted through the shoulders with narrow arms. Also keep in mind the length you're going for. Bomber jackets are very popular right now and they should sit parallel with the waist line. If you're going for mid length, then it should stop right below the hip. Never and I repeat never invest in an leather blazer, a leather jacket with extreme detail and/or stitching, or one that looks like you borrowed it from the 70's.

Neil Barrett Fall 2009 Collection
This fall try incorporating style & comfort. This look is ideal pairing cable-stitched textured leather with cropped pants. Tip: instead of the leather jacket try pairing a simple white button-down shirt with a black tie or bowtie. Either way, as the temperature continues to drop, this look can easily go from day to night.

This blog was created for men who genuinely appreciate fashion. It's not about the labels or the price. It's about style. I am the vessel if you will. Your guiding light of where and how to incorporate great style into your wardrobe. Fashion in itself is a hard pill to swallow for some. They simply just don't get it. With that in mind, I'm sure 90% won't understand my vision and that's okay. Everything is not meant to be taken literal. That's the fun part about fashion.

The idea is to take what you see and find your own path to style enlightenment. When you break it down, dressing is quit simple. Shirts, pants, underwear, outerwear, & shoes. How hard is that? It's all about style. I can't stress style enough. Being dressed from head to toe in labels does not mean you are giving fashion by any means. The funny thing is, I've dressed myself from thrift stores, even to this day, and score more compliments than the label freaks in all Gucci.

Style my friends, style. Take this journey with me and learn to appreciate this crazy thing called fashion. When in doubt remember this: "In fashion, first, learn all the rules. Then, break them!"
