If you’re looking to build the perfect capsule wardrobe, full of fall essentials, there’s one 90s trend you need to invest in. The classic leather blazer is back in full force and if you don’t believe us, just take a look at the street style at Paris Fashion Week.

The 90s oversized leather blazer is the must-have item for the season. We’ve spotted them on the likes of Bella and Gigi Hadid and even Hailey Bieber—and if we’re all really honest with ourselves, anything those three think is cool, IS cool.

They're the perfect piece for transitional weather and yes, we’ve found you the perfect blazers to get the look yourself.

Blazers were a favorite among guests attending fashion week, we saw them paired with wide-legged pants, slip dresses, and brightly colored mini-bags. The most popular colors being brown, tan, and black—which again, are perfect for fall!

Now, blazers have been back in fashion for some time, but the leather blazer is a cut above the rest. The oversized look was made truly iconic by actresses like Winona Ryder and Gwyneth Paltrow, who wore leather blazers throughout the early 90s, and we’re very pleased to say, the trend isn’t going anywhere soon. 

The beauty of a leather blazer is that it goes with just about everything, they're versatile and instantly elevate your look. Pair them with joggers and a sweatshirt, to trousers and a white T for that suit-style look.

A leather blazer seemingly bestows an air of chic sophistication upon the wearer—especially when teamed with some tiny huggie earrings. It toughens up your look, try wearing one over a bias cut silk skirt with chunky boots, and really captures the essence of 90's grunge. 

Thankfully, there are loads of options available to shop that suit every style and most importantly every budget. Shop the best ones now...
