What to wear with leather jackets
Before deciding what to wear under a leather jacket, figure out what style the product is sewn in, and then combine it with other items of clothing.
Bomber jacket
A cropped street style jacket is always popular among young people because it is sewn loosely and does not restrict movement. Young guys are attracted by the presence of original stickers, prints, rivets and zippers in semi-sportswear. This is what you need for everyday wear.
In the off-season, it is convenient to wear a shirt, preferably in light colors, a denim shirt, a white T-shirt or a thin cashmere sweater with a round neckline under a leather bomber jacket. In cool weather, you will have to insulate yourself with another layer - a body shirt with a hood or a warm sweater.
When you're getting ready to go to college, add a formal touch to your look by wearing a white shirt with a collar and a black tie.
Obese guys are not recommended to choose fitted bomber jackets, and narrow-shouldered guys should not choose ones with a wide belt.
Biker jacket
For those who want to look brutal, a biker jacket with diagonal zippers and asymmetrical fastenings is suitable. You can pull it over a denim jacket, and it will look stylish, and it will also keep you warm in the chilly autumn slush.
Since biker jackets are designed primarily for motorcycle riding, you should get a down vest for warmth and comfort. Don't worry, your image of a rebel will not suffer from such insulation.

Even if you buy a cropped style, the aviator will keep you warm.
Under such a jacket, hoodies, sweaters, and jumpers of any color, except acidic ones, look good. But strict classic-style shirts will not fit into the aviator look.
Model with hood
Sports leather jackets with a hood are available with a fur lining for winter or without lining for the spring-autumn period. The model is more suitable for guys under 25 years old, and respectable men are recommended to choose a different style.
