The hunt for the perfect leather jacket mirrors a quest from a fantasy adventure movie, complete with tears, laughter, the formation of close friendships and bitter rivalries. At the end of it all, you are forever changed. Only in the leather jacket edition, no one gets hurt (hopefully) and you come out with a sweet topper that goes with all your outfits. Before you set out on your journey, you need a roadmap in the form of your personal preferences. What exactly are you looking for in a leather jacket? Do you want a biker style or something more unusual? Do you want to splurge on something that will really last or pick up a trendier style for less? And do you care if it’s actually leather? I recommend shooting for longevity over trendiness unless you’re opting for an under-$50 faux version from a fast fashion retailer. A real leather jacket will cost you, and even the better fake options can be pricey. Consider picking one that will last several seasons (or longer) and go with most items in your wardrobe. Tempting as cute patches and embroidery are, there’s more of a chance they’ll look dated by next spring. Here are the best women's leather jackets you can buy: Read on in the slides below to check out our top picks.The best leather jacket overall  Why you'll love it: The Arrivals Moya III is a permanent fixture on every Instagram influencer’s photo grid for a reason. It’s that elusive blend of trendy, timeless, and high-quality.
It takes a lot to make an over-$1,000 price tag seem downright reasonable. Yet, here I am, trying to convince you that The Moya III by popular overwear purveyor The Arrivals is a sensible purchase. Sure, there are less expensive leather jackets out there. But The Moya III just has that extra something. Our own Insider Picks reporter Mara Leighton called The Moya III “devastatingly worth the hype.” The Moya III has that covetable oversized and shearling-trimmed silhouette that is at once of-the-moment and completely timeless. While plenty of leather jackets are fair-weather friends, The Arrivals designed this one “around the idea of embracing the elements,” per the product description. The Marino trim is water-resistant and the jacket is lined with wool so that you can wear it when the temperatures dip below 30 degrees. The Coveteur’s Hannah Baxter says, “it’s incredibly warm and water-resistant, so I can finally get rid of my embarrassing puffer coat and brave the inevitable snow and freezing rain in style.” As New York Magazine’s The Strategist writer Margaret Rhodes puts it, The Arrivals sells “Helmut Lang– or Acne-caliber leather jackets, but sold for $700 to $1,100.” When you think of it that way, it’s kind of a bargain. The brand has several other styles if you're not into the Moya, and many buyers note that the Moya is oversized, so you may want to size down accordingly. Pros: Warm enough for winter wear, designer look at a lower price than many high-end styles, lifetime warranty Cons: You’re going to grit your teeth when you pull out your credit card
The best plus-size leather jacket  Why you'll love it: Eloquii is known for its selection of stylish plus size clothing, and the brand’s Moto Jacket is the perfect versatile choice to wear with dresses, jeans, or jumpsuits.
The ideal leather jacket is one that truly goes with everything in your closet. The Eloquii Moto Jacket delivers exactly that, in a stylish faux leather package that looks just as good as the real thing and comes in sizes 14-28. Because it’s vegan leather, this jacket carries an affordable under-$150 price tag and has a tiny bit of stretch to give you that perfect fit. It gives you that classic moto jacket look that hits at hip-length and complements a variety of outfits, from dresses to jeans. Reviewers love the quality of the faux leather, which they say mimics the real thing quite convincingly. Overall, the jacket as close to a full 5-star rating based on 148 responses on the Eloquii website. “My new favorite jacket!! This fits like a dream, not too tight or hard to put on, and I'm able to easily zip it up. The quality is very good, the leather look is done very well, and it certainly does NOT scream pleather or faux at first glance,” says one reviewer. Pros: Classic moto jacket style, available in sizes 14-28, convincing faux leather Cons: Some sizes are currently sold out (but you can join the waitlist to be notified when they come back in stock)
The best leather jacket for petite women  Why you'll love it: The Washed Leather Motorcycle Jacket from Madewell is the everyday jacket you’ve been waiting for because it goes with your entire wardrobe and is built to last.
If you’re on the smaller side, consider investing in Madewell’s Washed Leather Motorcycle Jacket. While not strictly a petite style, it runs on the smaller side and is available in sizes XXS through XXL (currently sold out on the website). Plus, the lived-in washed leather finish gives this jacket the quality of a well-loved staple from the moment you take it out of the box. This is a Madewell bestseller and for good reason. It goes with everything and, at $498, it’s a relative steal as far as leather jackets go. Madewell is known for its quality basics, and the Washed Leather Moto Jacket is no exception. The Cut loves this jacket because of its “cool vintage aesthetic” and it also comes recommended by InStyle and Best Products. “I love this jacket. The leather's like butta and it's just heavy enough to keep me toasty,” says one five-star review on Madewell’s site. Pros: Quality leather for under $500 Cons: Runs small
