But then I found a cheap cropped black “leather” jacket from Forever 21 that I liked. I figured that I might as well try it out since it was so inexpensive – and then I loved it so much that I wore a hole in the sleeve (note: this will not happen with real leather). I upgraded to a real one, and this year I have been rocking two vegan leather jackets, one from Volcom and one from American Eagle. I no longer feel out of place in my leather jacket – I just love it.
The point is, anyone can get away with wearing a leather jacket! You don’t have to ride a motorcycle, or have a certain type of attitude, or dress a certain type of way.
