I had my heart set on buying a brown leather jacket (rather than the more clichéd black moto jacket version) ever since my best bud bought it a few years ago. I'd borrow it now and then for a special date or for travel. When I bought a brown leather moto jacket a couple of years ago, I wore it on repeat starting pretty much the next day. For a leather moto jacket brown is the second most popular color. That brings me to a question that many jacket owners might have asked themselves - What to wear with a brown moto jacket?

Like I mentioned, I wore it for just about everything from going out for a movie to casual bumming around at a friend's place. There are many versatile ways to wear a men's leather brown jacket, but you might find yourself running out of ideas on wearing your favorite jacket from day to night. There's a ton of use you can get out of your brown jacket. Here, I am going to share some great ideas that I came up while using my favorite staple!

You can create different looks for different days using your imagination and your favorite brown leather moto jacket. You need some basic shirts, t-shirts, and accessories to create different looks with your jacket. You need to pull out some things from your wardrobe and use them to create stunning and diverse looks for various occasions. You will need the following for each look.

•   Brown moto jacket (either faux leather or real)
•   A simple white t-shirt. You can also use another lighter colored t-shirt of your choice though while offsets brown nicely and give this look a casual feel
•   You can also use another lighter colored t-shirt of your choice though while offsets brown nicely and give this look a casual feel

•   If you want to be a bit more dressy, you can opt for brown suede chukka boots with this look

The brown jacket is extremely versatile, and this look is a testament to that fact. You don't need to be afraid to venture into the chic zone with your favorite jacket. In fact, it is effortless to create a sophisticated yet edgy look with the brown leather moto jacket.

I try to create a clean, slim silhouette in this variation by paring an oxford shirt with a slim fit jumper. This instantly glamorizes your jacket in a chic and understated way. You should complete this look with well-fitted chinos for best effect.

Just be careful to maintain the silhouette by not bulking up the look by adding keys and your phone or other stuff in your pockets. You can use a classic messenger bag with this look to carry all your things without adding bulk to this look.

This is a great day to night look. I often find myself wearing this look to work, and heading out for a date later in the evening without changing anything.

Some Pro Tips

The brown moto jacket is quite versatile, both faux leather and real, and I have enlisted some ideas on what to wear with brown leather jackets, but there are some.

While picking a brown moto jacket, it is essential to choose a style that works best for you. You need to make sure that the jacket you pick fits you well. Some simple things to look for in a well-fitting leather moto jacket include the sleeve.

A key attribute in well-made real leather jackets is that the arm holes are high-cut. This ensures that the jacket remains close to your body. You should make sure that the sleeves aren't too long, but an inch or two above the cuff is fine.

You can try on a jacket one size smaller than you think you need for a snug fit. Be sure to choose a good fit because you can’t take it to your tailor later to take it in a bit. Plus, you should ensure that the shoulders fit you well and do not droop. Your jacket should be comfortable and allow a full range of motion without gathering up.

Also, please stay away from “knee-length” jackets! The waist of the jacket should fall right around your belt. Some jacket styles like the fatigue style can fall a couple of inches below your belt line which is alright. Just make sure you don’t buy a floor length duster!

There are many color variations even within brown jackets, so choose a color that works best for you. Light brown jackets are great for rugged wear like on the plains because the sun, rain, grease and other factor bring out a myriad of colors in this type of jacket. If you’re a fan of cowboy boots, then this hue will work best for you.

Darker colored brown jackets work great if you like matching your shoes with your jacket. This color works great with lighter colored button down shirts. This color lends the jacket intensity without taking it to an area where you can scare people.

Depending on your usage, you need to choose the material for your leather jackets. The full-grained leather is a great option for the grained look prevents the appearance of scratches and other kinds of marks. You can opt for high-quality leather options if you have the cash to splurge, and there are multiple variations available if you’re on a budget. Lambskin leather is a good place to start.

You can choose to go with a suede jacket which looks really chic but can be heavier due to the chemicals used to treat it. It isn’t the best option in case it pours though you can create a very sophisticated look with this style. If you manage your clothes well, suede can be a great option!

You can choose a shearling men's jacket if you live in a colder climate because of its warm and practical attributes. Shearling is a great material for leather jackets but may be a bit more expensive than other variants.
