Cropped Leather Biker Jacket by Principles
Leather jackets have been a staple item for men and women since the 1950s, but it can be hard to find one nowadays that doesn't make you look like Bonnie Tyler's worst nightmare.
This Cropped Leather Biker Jacket by Principles is a great choice for a more fifties or sixties friendly look. With minimalist detailing, a great figure-hugging fit, and a cropped bodice, it's a really flattering cut that differs from baggy 80s versions. Three quarter length sleeves and a high rounded collar finish this off to make a feminine version of a perennial classic.
Made from 100% leather, this jacket costs £120 from Debenhams.
