The Most Versatile Jacket Ever

One jacket, four ways. Now if that isn't a great investment, we don't know what is.

It's the ultimate must-have item.

If we had to name a must-have item of the season, it would be the leather jacket. And if you're on the fence about whether to buy leather or go home, we've got four reasons you should take the plunge. And each reason is oh-so-stylish.

Nothing screams fashionista like leather and jeans. Pair your Mike & Chris hoodie with basic blues and a cashmere sweater. It's the perfect movie-date ensemble.

Sunday morning yoga is where you get your zen on, but all that spandex is so boring. Throw your jacket on over your cross-back tank and yoga pants and you can go from the mat, to brunch, to errands without losing your cool.

We love contrasting styles. Nothing beats leather and a feminine floral pattern. Plus, the delicate texture of the dress looks great with the heavy masculine material of the jacket.

Who says a hoodie can't be formal? Get cocktail ready with a flirty purple number. You'll look effortlessly chic.
