Here at the UnregisteredStyle, we love engaging with our readers on a weekly basis. When we are not taking pictures or blogging, most of our time is spent sorting through emails, receiving feedback, and answering questions regarding personal style.
This month, we received a new question from an anonymous reader, “I have difficulty understanding how or why people wear leather during the winter. I own atleast one leather jacket, but it never keeps me warm. So, how do you stay warm in leather?”
Leather can be a little tricky at times. To keep it real, leather looks great when worn with the right outfit. However, leather is not heavy enough to keep your entire body warm.
For example, I decided to throw on my favorite faux leather jacket for this week’s #MensStyleMondays feature. Now, this jacket was a quick buy from Urban Outfitters a couple years ago. Purchased for $40, this leather jacket is perfect for a casual day in the streets.
Although this jacket does a great job at preventing the wind from hitting my chest, my body is still cold from a poorly insulated coat. As a result, I’m forced to bundle up in layers. For a base layer, I wore a long sleeved, crew neck t-shirt from GAP. Shirts from GAP are typically a great buy, and I have owned this one for at least two years. Next, I grabbed an old Ralph Lauren plaid shirt from my closet. As mentioned in last week’s post, plaids are back this season. I love how my plaid shirt looks under the leather jacket.
Continuing with this casual themed look, I threw on my dark wash, skinny jeans from Hot Topic, with my newly purchased Aston Grey chelsea boots. I tried a black and brown contrast with my jacket, boots, and felt fedora.
Last, but not least, I couldn’t forget my Target gloves.
In conclusion, there is always a sacrifice when trying to look stylish. In this particular case, leather looks great when worn properly. However, you may have to wear two to three layers before stepping outside. So, that’s how I stay warm in leather. Hopefully, I answered your question!
