How to Style a Leather Jacket for a First Date
A Leather Jacket over a Silk Blouse or Wrap Dress keeps first-date formality in check without looking like you tried too hard. The combination reads polished but relaxed — formal enough for dinner, casual enough that you don't seem overdressed for drinks. Finish with Loafers to keep the whole outfit grounded and intentional.
