Burgundy Leather Jackets Are the New Black For Autumn 2024

In my opinion, these early autumn days call for a few very specific items to yield maximum enjoyment. Topping this is a warm drink—I like a coffee but tea is just as good. Next is a comfortable boot—pavements in the UK become puddle obstacle courses before too long. Finally, and this is non-negotiable, you’ll need a great leather jacket.

The perfect layer for when it’s not too hot but not too cold, a leather jacket will always be the item I reach for at the turn of the season. Naturally cool, a relaxed leather jacket instills an effortless energy that’s hard to match with any other layer, making it a true pillar of my autumn wardrobe.

Passionate as I am about leather jackets, I was naturally eager to decipher the leather jacket trends to know about for the new season, and my research has landed me on a particularly chic style. Less predictable than a classic black style, but equally as chic, this autumn the burgundy leather jacket trend is the style that’s taking off.

Swept in my the overarching burgundy colour trend that’s seeped to the fore this season, burgundy leather jackets offer your look a rich flush of colour in a wearable and relaxed way. Nodding to the moodier energy of the early-autumn season, the opulent shade mimics some of the natural hues around us at this time of year—making it an inviting colour to work into your rotation.

Beyond the seasonal swing towards this lavish shades, the runways gave burgundy leather items special attention on the A/W ’24 runways. Bringing out burgundy leather bags, boots and jackets, designer labels have predicted a shift towards the merlot shade for the cooler months.

A warmer alternative to black, it won’t be long until this autumn’s offerings are entirely out of stock. To get in there first, read on to discover our edit of the best burgundy leather jackets to shop now.
