Some designers focus more on the obscure than the everyday. Others make an instant impression on the streets. Saint Laurent belongs to the latter group. Last year, the brand’s hugely popular leather bomber jacket became almost everywhere among fashion people. During this season’s fashion weeks, stylish attendees made slouchy leather jackets the centerpiece of their street style, while models rushing between castings threw their own biker jackets over basic outfits on the go.

Celebrities have also been wearing their softly draped jackets to add both ease and edge to casual looks. No one wants to stroll around Paris looking “done,” or as if they’ve carefully planned their fashion week wardrobe—even if they have. A textured leather jacket brings the bold attitude of biker style, along with the luxury of a satin lining.
Since Saint Laurent introduced its drop-shouldered, supple style, many versions have appeared on fall runways from brands like Prada, Kallmeyer, Khaite, and Ralph Lauren—serving as protective outerwear for everything from relaxed suits to evening wear.

While indie fashion fans will be happy to bring out their leathers (and maybe their second-skin jeans), this season’s jacket trend calls for oversized zip-ups. Now is not the time to channel your inner Marianne Faithfull in Girl on a Motorcycle; it’s about digging through thrift stores and finding someone’s late grandpa’s rugged flight jacket. If you can’t do that, getting one from YSL is never a bad idea. Shop all of our favorites below.
