Your Leather Jacket Playbook: 7 Cute & Easy Plus Size Leather Jacket Outfits To Wear This Fall

Ya’ll, when I tell you, I’ve been searching for *the perfect* leather jacket for years now! As a plus size girlie with a large bust, it’s hard to find a leather jacket that: is made of genuine leather, comes in plus sizes, and actually flatters my curves.

So, I was ridiculously excited to receive this gorgeous leather jacket from The Jacket Maker and, of course, put together a few super-cute outfit ideas for Fall and Winter. Let’s get into what makes this jacket my new go-to Fall and Winter piece, plus my tips for styling it below!

DISCLOSURE: The Jacket Maker gifted me with this beautiful genuine leather jacket in exchange for my honest review. I only recommend products I would use myself and all opinions expressed here are my own.  Read more about how sponsored posts work HERE.

How To Make a Leather Jacket Look Less Big?

The biggest complaint I hear from my plus size girlies about leather jackets? That they’re super bulky and don’t fit well when zipped up. The fix: look for brands that take actual plus size bodies into account for their plus size designs. Bonus points if they offer customized sizing (HINT: The Jacket Maker does, but more on that in a sec!)

What Type of Top Looks Good With a Leather Jacket?

Think of your leather jacket as the denim jacket’s cooler, older sister who loves to dress up. Translation: the leather jacket is a beautiful, elevated topper that, like the denim jacket, pairs well with most tops. It can elevate a simple Fall sweatshirt outfit (add jewelry, switch out the sneakers for boots and voila!) and it can add a gorgeous layer to your favorite Fall dresses as well.

Are Leather Jackets Still In For Fall & Winter 25/26?

Okay, if you’re a regular here, you already know how I feel about this question. Trends come and go, so if you love a piece and it looks good on you, WEAR IT, no matter what the fashionistas say. That being said, a leather biker jacket like this one is a classic piece that has most certainly stood the test of time.

Bottom line: whether you’re looking for a classic style or something more edgy like a moto or biker style, leather jackets are 100% here to stay (and you don’t need “straight off the runway” coin to snag your own!)

The Jacket Maker Flashback Leather Biker Jacket | My Review

• Available in XXS-3X
• Inside lining with exterior & interior pockets
• Soft, supple leather
• Beautiful, rich, cognac brown color
• YKK zippers (here’s the skinny on those if you’re unfamiliar)
• Design and sizing fully customizable

WHAT I LOVED: Beautifully designed and constructed with plus size bodies in mind. One of the few leather jackets I’ve ever owned that still looks great zipped all the way up! (as a larger bust girlie, this matters).

NOT SO MUCH: Honestly, I loved *everything* about this jacket from the fit to the color to my experience selecting and then receiving my jacket. The sleeves were a tad longer than what I’m used to, but, when I reached up and still had coverage, I realized this was a *good* thing. No more reaching over to pick up a child and feeling like my jacket is instantly two sizes too small!

FINAL VERDICT: Highly recommend, if you’re looking for a leather jacket for this season. If you’re not a fan of the biker style, there are tons of other options on their site for whatever vibe you’re going for this Fall and Winter.

And now, for the Fall and Winter outfit inspo!

Simple But Stylish Plus Size Leather Outfit Ideas

50 Shades of Brown

This chic leather biker jacket is a great way to elevate a cozy and otherwise simple athleisure outfit. PRO Tip: Keep things interesting by mixing and matching your neutrals!

Toughen Up Your Romantic Boho Tops

I’m loving this season’s romantic, almost ethereal, boho looks. Add a bit of texture and interest with a great leather jacket (and to keep from looking like you’re about to float away!).

Over a Colorful Sweater

Adding a little color is the fastest and easiest way to lift your spirits in the dead of Winter, but it can be difficult to find an outer layer that won’t compete.

Enter the fabulous leather jacket. The style I chose also comes in Maroon, Black, a beautiful, soft Blue, and even a fiery, bright Red if you want to make a statement.

Try Pairing With Charcoal

If you decide to go with a brown leather jacket, try an unexpected pairing like brown and charcoal grey! A great way to freshen up your go-to Fall outfit this season.

Sneak In Extra Wears of Your Fave Summer Dress

Add a pair of suede boots for a date-night worthy look.

Update Your Oversized Tees From Last Season

The silhouettes have gotten a little slimmer this season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t breathe new life into your favorite oversized t-shirts! Pair with your favorite straight leg jeans for a sleek “cool girl” vibe.

Pair With Your Go-To Trousers

Easy outfit formula to repeat all season-long: Leather Jacket + Solid Long-Sleeved Top (you pick the color!) + Trousers + Sneakers. When I say effortless chic, this is what I mean(;
