Refreshing your wardrobe essentials for 2024? A leather jacket should be one of the first items you invest in. Leather is a durable material that helps block wind and light rain, but it’s also sleek and edgy—there’s a reason that it’s the material of choice for motorcycle riders and recent runways from The Attico to Miu Miu. And for the year ahead, the best oversized leather jackets are the silhouettes of the moment.

Whether your aesthetic leans minimal and understated or you're an over-the-top maximalist, 0versized leather jackets are one of the most versatile layers to wear through every season in the year ahead. "[These jackets] work nicely as an everyday separate with a pair of pleated trousers, [or] with a bodycon dress,” agrees Gaelle Drevet, founder of The Frankie Shop. “This style creates an undone feeling, adding an edge that seamlessly transitions from day to night—a must-have piece that will become a staple in any woman's wardrobe.”

Channeling a certain vibe will depend on the cut of the jacket and the extent of the oversized fit, as well as the exact material. Drevet notes that texture, whether it be a smooth leather, patent, or grained, can transform the overall look. No matter what, all 20 of the best oversized leather jackets ahead are effortlessly cool—and the foundations of your 2024 wardrobe.
