Few wardrobe staples have the universal appeal, edge, and timelessness of a leather jacket. From rebellious street style to elevated elegance, a leather jacket seamlessly adapts to every style and season. At Vade Blanc, we believe in leatherwear that evolves with your lifestyle crafted from full-grain leather, tailored silhouettes, and modern design.
Whether you’re navigating crisp fall mornings, breezy spring afternoons, or cool summer nights, this guide will show you how to style a leather jacket year-round, across occasions and climates.
Spring: Fresh & Versatile
Layered Over a T-Shirt and Jeans (Casual Refresh)

Best for: Brunch, casual office days, or travel.
With a Button-Down Shirt & Chinos (Smart-Casual Upgrade)

Best for: Date nights, rooftop lunches, creative meetings.
Summer: Lightweight and Effortless
