All-season leather: pieces that work year-round

all season leather pieces

Leather clothing has been worn for thousands of years. It’s believed to have been worn by primitive man 50,000 years ago. Of course, those pieces were very different to the stylish year round leather pieces you can get today.

Why invest in all-season leather pieces?


Traditionally, leather clothing was used to keep people warm. However, modern leather garments are much more adaptable. A staple of every wardrobe should be the all season leather jacket. 
Why? Leather is stylish, never truly goes out of fashion, and it's durable. That’s why we recommend investing in quality leather clothing. You need to love it to wear it forever!
Naturally, a high-quality versatile leather jacket can be worn with a multitude of outfits, from casual to smart. 
Of course, an all season leather jacket will keep you warm in the winter. It also works well with layers in the summer, especially on those cooler evenings. 
It’s not just leather jackets, leather pants, skirts, and, of course, boots can be worn at all times of the year.
When purchasing your next item of timeless leather clothing choose wisely; it can be a wardrobe staple for years to come.

Key features of all-season leather jackets


An all season leather jacket will have several specific features. Consider the following when looking at year round leather pieces:

Reversible
Jennifer Tattanelli Reversible leather jackets crafted in Pieno Fiore (Top Full Grain Leather) are the top choice for a all season garment, since you can wear them in summer (especially when the Air Condionitng isblasting in your favorite restaurant) and in the winter simply adding an extra layer on top.


Balanced Weight
Thanks to the thickness of the material, leather jackets are heavier than most other types of jackets. If you want to stay warm in the winter you should choose a heavy jacket, noting that some of the weight will be in the lining. 


Removable lining 
If the jacket is not reversible, it should have a lining that will keep you warm in the winter. A high-quality and versatile leather jacket will use the finest materials for the inner lining, such as cotton or cashmere.
It keeps you looking good while staying warm in the winter. In the summer you simply remove the lining and enjoy the warm summer air in style.


Ventilation
Leather is a breathable material. You’ll want to invest in the highest-quality leather to maximize the breathability of your jacket especially when the skins are tanned with a vegetable tanning. 
It helps maintain your temperature throughout the seasons and is better for your timeless leather clothing.

Styling your leather jacket across seasons


It doesn’t matter whether you have the lining in or out, all year round leather pieces, including your favorite leather jacket, will look the same on the outside. 
That’s going to help you create your own style for any season.

  • Spring – pair your leather jacket with a dress and boots to create a stunning and elegant look. We recommend a midi dress.
  • Summer – when the temperature dips try wearing your high-waisted denim shorts with a simple summer top and your leather jacket. It’s an edgy look which can be elevated with the right shoe.; Choose between boots, sandals, or even heels, depending on the venue.
  • Fall – The temperature is dropping but it’s still nice enough to wear a long skirt or even your favorite leather trousers.  Go bright with your top and add an autumnal scarf over your leather jacket.
  • Winter – Get the lining in your jacket and put it over a cashmere sweater. Add thermal leggings, stylish ankle boots, a scarf, a hat, and leather gloves. You’ll look like you stepped off the runway.  

Care and maintenance tips


Looking after your leather clothing will help it to last longer and still look as good as the day you bought it. Remember, high-quality leather garments are an investment. 
•    Always wipe it over with a dry cloth after use
•    Buff out small marks with a dry cloth
•    A damp cloth can remove more ingrained stains but avoid using a wet cloth
•    Pour baby powder on liquid stains and let it absorb them then brush gently away
•    Always hang your leather clothing and keep it away from heat sources
Every three to four years get it professionally cleaned.

Conclusion

A good leather piece will last you for years and will be one of your signature garments, whether that’s a leather jacket, pants, or even boots. 
In short, you have to fall in love with the item. Then, all you have to do is look after it and enjoy looking elegant and stylish every time you wear it.
