Fabulous Find of the Week: Delia’s Faux Leather Moto Jacket
There’s something about a (faux) leather jacket that instantly adds an edgy vibe to any outfit. Whether you pair it with jeans and a tee or a floral print dress, a leather jacket looks fantastic with any and everything.

Outfit Inspiration
If you like this cheap and chic jacket, then you’re going to love the outfits we put together for inspiration. Read on to find out three stylish ways to wear this week’s Fabulous Find:
Outfit #1: Chic & Polished
Product Info: Jacket- Delia’s, Sweater- Windsor, Tights- Topshop, Necklace- Topshop, Skirt- J. Crew Factory, Shoes- H&M
For our first outfit, start by pairing a striped sweater with a cobalt blue skirt. Layer on the moto jacket as well as a pair of on-trend printed tights. Next, add a pair of chic suede ankle booties. Accessorize with a mixed metal statement necklace to complete this look.
Outfit #2: Stylish & Casual
Product Info: Jacket- Delia’s, Tee- Topshop, Ring- House of Harlow 1960, Scarf- Banana Republic, Shoes- ASOS, Pants- Kohl’s
Create a cute and casual look for class by pairing mint-colored cords with a pretty lace-print tee. A printed scarf and our Fab Find add a stylish, yet cozy vibe, while studded, pointy-toe flats give this look a fashion-forward flair. For the finishing touch, accessorize with a silver arrow-shaped ring.
Outfit #3: Party Perfection
Product Info: Jacket- Delia’s, Dress- ModCloth, Earrings- Bauble Bar, Nail Polish- Zoya’s “London”, Bag- ASOS, Shoes- Jessica Simpson Collection
Pairing a tough faux leather jacket with a pretty party dress can create a fantastic sense of contrast, so that’s exactly what we did for this final look. Add a pair of colorful pumps, then grab a unique beaded clutch. Since the dress and handbag are such statement pieces, simply accessorize with some sleek hoop earrings. Finally, paint your nails with a trendy matte nail polish.

Great jacket, I have one similar. I can’t wait until the weather warms up and I can wear it again.
Brittany
Super inspiring! I have a similar jacket that I hardly wear. I’m totally going to bust it out tomorrow!
Christina
I love the second outfit! Nice job! :)

Great find! I have a similar faux leather jacket that I got from Walmart of all places and it’s one of the most versatile and most-worn pieces in my closet!

I just got a similar jacket and I love these outfits!
I just wonder: what kind of bags can you wear with a black leather jacket? I only see one bag in the outfits you created and it’s really nice. But I wonder what other kinds go with it? Leather bag with leather jacket? Or other textiles and colors?

I like the outfits, especially the second one, but I have to ask: what’s the problem with real leather? The cows are going to die anyway so you can eat them. Also, you don’t seem to insist on faux leather shoes.

@Sarah- I like to incorporate different textures in an outfit, so I tend to pair something like a suede, canvas or beaded bag with a leather jacket.
As far as pairing leather with leather goes, I’m not a fan of wearing black leather w/ black leather, but I think a colored leather bag looks fantastic against a black leather jacket. Hope this helps!
@Caitlin- I chose to feature a faux leather jacket in this post because it’s much less expensive than a real leather jacket, and this column aims to find stylish pieces that the average college student can easily afford. Also, I know many readers choose not to wear real leather for personal reasons, so I try to opt for faux whenever possible to keep people from feeling excluded.
Admittedly, though, I don’t always double check whether something is real or faux when it comes to accessories. (I just looked over the items in this post again, and realized the pumps in the last outfit are suede.)
Personally, I own a mix of real and faux leather pieces, so IMO, if you like real leather, wear real leather, if you prefer faux, go for it :)

I went to go buy the jacket but they were not offering it in black any more! Super disappointed!

@Kaydee- So sorry about that! When I wrote the post last Friday, the jacket was in stock in sizes XS to XL– looks like a lot of people took advantage of the low price. I’ve found you a similar jacket from F21 that’s under $35. However, if you really want the Delia’s jacket, I’d suggest bookmarking the page and checking back periodically as I’ve noticed they often restock popular items.
