Leather Jackets- Black Or Brown?

[annms]

What is your personal preference on leather jacket color? If you could only wear one color, which would you wear and why?

Black for me. It's more classic; pair it with some slim indigo jeans, desert boots, and a simple white T-shirt (and maybe throw in some aviators or wayfarers), and you've got a look that will never fail to impress.

Black definately.

You need both tbh

Of the two, black can be a bit more tryhard and requires more consideration.

Brown on the other hand can look a little dad-ish if not done right

Personally I'd go for brown, but that's just because my wardrobe has lots of brown and very little black, and I don't like mixing the two.

I basically agree with Pins, black is better for a more casual rocker/biker type look but if you haven't got the other pieces and attitude to pull it off it can look a bit rubbish. Brown fits better into slightly more smart-casual or preppy looks, but if you don't nail the fit (both of the jacket and the accompanying clothes) then there's a risk of looking like a Top Gear presenter.

I'd go black; although I'm still searching for my first leather jacket, I want it to be perfect.
