HOW TO STYLE A LEATHER JACKET WITH AN OVERSIZE SCARF FOR WINTER?

The title of this post is pretty straight forward. Today I'm going to show you a way in which you can style an oversize scarf with a leather jacket. To answer the question why you would want to do that in the first place, I'll just stress that leather jackets are a perfect outwear for cold and windy days. Many of you own a black leather jacket, I'm sure. Faux leather jackets are great item, but I'll talk about them some other time.


 Basically, leather jackets are great because they provide us with an isolation against the wind and the cold (especially quality ones). However, as you probably know, a leather leather is usually not the most soft item as such. To create that cozy feeling, you need to wear something soft underneath it. Why not wear something soft over it as well. 

A nice oversize scarf can be a great solution to make your leather jacket more cozy for the winter. Moreover, an oversize scarf can be a great pop of colour. In this outfit, I played with colours a bit to dress up the classical leather jacket.

This particular black leather jacket I'm wearing is vintage. You know I love vintage items, right? This one used to belong to my husband and I have worn it tons of time on the blog. I will probably continue wearing it until it falls apart (which might not happen in a long time). 

Anyhow,  here I pared it with a plastic bag that comes in a bright yellow colour. I also opted for a colourful skirt paired with caramel boots. I do love to wear colour in winter. Tell me how do you like this outfit? It can be a challenge to create a feminine outfit in winter, but sometimes something as simple as putting on a warm skirt and a pair of boots with high heels can do the trick.


We might be talking about spring collections (and some of us might be busy illustrating them) but the fact is that we're in midst of winter here, so we should dress for it. In addition, cozy outfits can be the perfect way to fight the winter blues. Do you agree? Enjoy your week ahead lovely people!



Let's TALK illustration. 
Sometimes I illustrate items that I actually wear.
Sometimes I illustrate my own outfits. 
Sometimes I illustrate other bloggers.
 I HAVE ILLUSTRATED THIS LEATHER JACKET TWICE!  HERE & HERE

 Browsing my archives I realized that I have illustrated this leather jacket at least twice before. Moreover, counting the post today I have illustrated this pair of high brown boots four times! Is it me or am I starting to wear the items I have illustrated more often? Do you think that's possible? Perhaps illustrating them creates a sort of  visual fashion memento in my head.

.......

A lot of people say that a leather jacket is always a good idea. I have to admit that I would agree. Moreover, I can think of a few reasons wearing a leather jacket  might be a safe bet. There is a lot to be said about the power of a leather jacket.  Here are the advantages of a leather jacket as I see them:

WHY IS WEARING A LEATHER JACKET OFTEN A GOOD IDEA? 

1. It can be worn with everything. Seriously, with anything! Name one other item that can be worn with joggers and a gown without making you look like a crazy person? I dare you to it. Can you think of anything? I can't. A trench coat comes close, but if you wear a trench coat with your gym clothes you won't look as cool as you would be if you worn them with the leather jacket.

2. It looks fantastic on both genders. It does! It is one sole items that I equally adore to see on both men and women. A good leather jacket is not only timeless, it is unisex. This is good news because you can steal it from your sweatheart. You can share it! How romantic!

3. It is the perfect item to get any outfit dressed down. It really is. Like I explained in my first point, wearing a leather jacket makes any outfit more cool and effortless.

4. From a strictly practical point of view, a leather jacket blocks wind. It really keeps you protected against the wind (that was its prime function back in the day). It is also a great protection against the sun ( I see some of you thinking WHAT? but when you live in a region when sun can gets quite intense, you get it). When a day is hot and sunny yet windy,  it may be all that is standing between you and a cold.

5. You might get confused for a rock star. ( And who doesn't want that?!!!!) I mean does this clothing item has that badass vibe or what? Invoke your inner rebel. Wear it with pride. Rock it. Own it. Leather jacket can be a very powerful clothing item when you wear it with the right attitude.



#MODAODARADOSTI BLOG


What is your opinion about leather jackets? I always found them to be such classical items. Is there anything more timeless than a leather jacket? Considering that first clothing was made from fur and leather, it must had been one of the first clothing items.  However, what we know as the leather jacket today is more similar to the ones worn by aviators and the military in the early 1900ties. Leather jackets have since been associated with many  subcultures and groups (soldiers, cups, bikers, punks, goths, metal-heads etc) and ultimately they have made their way into closets of most people.

    Anche io adoro le giacche di (finta) pelle, stanno bene su tutto e sono comodissime!
    Però devo ammettere che non le indosso in inverno quando fa così freddo, per quanto isolanti se non sono imbottite il freddo lo fanno passare... quindi le riservo per le mezze stagioni! :)
    Mi piace moltissimo l'idea di abbinarci una maxi sciarpa, l'effetto è davvero moderno e cool!
    Baci!

    Most of my leather jackets aren't super warm, so a scarf like this is ideal! Heck, you could wrap your whole head in that scarf (something I've been know to do)

    It's funny but I always disliked leather jackets until I saw a burgundy 3/4 length one when I was a teen. Then I really wanted one but never got one. I've not been that bothered by them but I got my brown one for my Clara cosplay and you are right, it really is good for a cold day in a way I wouldn't have expected!!! I have one wonderful leather jacket which has sheepskin shearling lining and collar- that one is WONDERFUL!!x

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o...
