Cropped Leather Jackets

Of course last season I bought a too-cute and so-soft brown leather bomber jacket by Guess. And I suppose that's why this season the trend is not just a leather jacket, but a "cropped" jacket. And so it goes. While I won't be purchasing a new cropped version of my bomber, I have been ogling all of the incredible styles seen on celebs lately. Love them! From brown to black to bomber versus motorcycle with tons of zipper details, each one creates that tough chic vibe your feminine side longs for. Pare it down with jeans and a tee; dress it up over a strapless dress, both ala Kate Walsh. Or do as Katie Holmes does and bring out your inner biker babe by strutting your stuff in a super-cropped black motorcycle version with a long sweater. Playing with proportions is a surefire way to shave off 10 pounds (visually anyway) in an instant.


I am completely crushing on this pleather version at Delia's for just $69.50. The belt across the bottom is such a nice touch!
