Leather Jacket - All Saints 'Wyatt' / T-shirt - Whistles / Trousers - &OtherStories / Bag - Furla / Bandana - Bits & Bobs Vintage / Shoes - Underground Creepers
It happened. After many, many years of contemplating and months of saving up, I made my biggest, and frankly happiest, purchase ever.
I've always loved a bit of leather. It elevates any outfit instantly, and my beloved Reiss leather jacket that I've had since I was 14 has always been my most treasured companion. However, 5 years of non-stop wearing can give even the strongest of leather jackets strain, and lets just say you can definitely see the strain in the now slightly green tint that my jacket has acquired.
It took months of deliberation for me to choose the perfect new leather jacket, but I always knew it had to be All Saints. Their leather is unlike any other brands, and they have such a huge array of styles and cuts. I didn't even know which jacket I was going to purchase until the actual day! I chose the Wyatt - it's very similar to the classic All Saints Balfern, but for me the Wyatt was a better choice. The leather is more matte (the colour is technically 'ink blue'), the main zip is black (the balfern's is metal like all the pocket zips), and the fit was just ever so slightly better, which made the jacket perfect for me. I have barely taken the Wyatt off since!
I paired the leather jacket with a casual, somewhat Parisian, somewhat Rock-a-billy outfit. I found these flared, slightly cropped black trousers in the &OtherStories sale, and I love them. I always have a huge number of jeans that I can turn to, but I noticed that I didn't have a single pair of casual black trousers in my wardrobe, so these had to come home with me when I found them. Along with the trousers, I wore my all time favourite Whistles t-shirt 'Feminin' (so classic and versatile), a neckerchief (I've become obsessed with them, this one is vintage that I picked up at the Isle of Wight festival), and one of my oldest and most beloved shoes, my burgundy creepers.
