Our Picks: The Best Women's Leather Blazers
1. Classic Black Leather Blazer for Women
If you are buying one leather blazer, a plain black one is the safest and most useful choice. This one has a sheepskin outer, a polyester lining, a three-button closure, two outer pockets and one inside pocket. It works over a silk blouse for work or a tee on the weekend. Sizes run XS to 5XL, from $199.99, making it the best value on this list.

2. Women's Black Sheepskin Leather Blazer with Gold Buttons
The gold buttons give this black blazer a more polished, slightly dressy feel, so it moves easily from a meeting to an evening out. It is made from sheepskin with a tailored fit. Choose it if you already own plenty of black basics and want something with a little more detail. Sizes XS to 5XL plus Custom, from $234.

3. Women's Three-Button Black Leather Blazer Coat
This style sits between a structured blazer and a leather jacket. The three-button front and sleek silhouette look at home in a business-casual office, and the slightly longer coat feel gives more coverage than a cropped cut. It suits women who want a leather piece that reads as tailoring first. Sizes XS to 4XL, from $249.99.

4. Women's Brown Pure Lambskin Leather Blazer
Brown leather is easier to wear with neutrals, camel, cream and denim than black, and it looks especially good in fall. This blazer is made from 100% lambskin, the softest leather we offer, so it feels comfortable from the first wear while keeping a structured shape. Sizes XS to 5XL plus Custom, from $236.49.

5. Women's Brown Suede Leather Blazer Formal Wear
Suede has a soft, matte nap that looks warmer and less glossy than smooth leather. This brown suede blazer is tailored for workdays and dressier occasions but still looks natural with jeans. Keep in mind that suede needs more care in wet weather, so it suits drier climates or indoor wear. Sizes XS to 5XL plus Custom, from $239. See more suede styles in our women's suede jackets.

6. Womens Red Lambskin Leather Blazer Jacket
A red leather blazer is a statement, but a surprisingly versatile one: it pairs with black, white, gray and denim. This one is cut from pure lambskin with a soft lining and a sharp silhouette. Choose it if your wardrobe is mostly neutrals and you want one piece that brings it to life. Sizes XS to 5XL plus Custom, from $210. More options are in our women's red leather jackets collection.

7. Women's White Leather Blazer With Silver Buttons
White leather looks fresh in spring and summer and makes a strong contrast with dark trousers or a black dress. The silver buttons keep the look clean and modern. It is the least forgiving color for daily wear, so it suits someone who already has a black or brown leather piece and wants a second one. Sizes XS to 4XL, from $249.99.

How to Choose a Women's Leather Blazer
Leather type
Lambskin is the softest and lightest, with a smooth, slightly luxurious drape, which suits a blazer that you want to look refined. Sheepskin is close in feel and a little more robust, a good everyday choice. Suede gives a relaxed, textured look but marks more easily and needs protection from rain. Heavier leathers like cowhide are better for biker jackets than for tailored blazers.
Fit
A blazer is a tailored garment, so fit at the shoulders matters most. The shoulder seam should end at the edge of your shoulder, and you should be able to button the front over a blouse without the buttons pulling. Sleeves should stop at the wrist bone, leaving a little of your cuff or wrist showing. Leather softens over time, but it will not get longer or wider across the shoulders, so do not buy small and hope it stretches. If you are between sizes, the Custom size option on most of these blazers lets you order to your own measurements.
Lining
A smooth polyester or viscose lining helps the blazer slide over sleeves and keeps its shape. Leather blazers are not insulated coats, so for real cold, layer a fine knit underneath or switch to a longer style from our women's leather trench coats.
Color and climate
Black goes with the most and hides wear best. Brown is warmer and works well with fall colors. Red and white are best as a second blazer. In hot, humid climates, choose lighter lambskin and wear the blazer open; in cooler, wetter places, smooth leather is more practical than suede.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a blazer by chest size only and ignoring shoulder and sleeve length.
- Buying suede for a rainy daily commute.
- Picking a statement color as your only leather blazer when you need something to wear several times a week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you wear a leather blazer to work?
Yes, in most business-casual offices. Choose black or brown in a structured cut, and pair it with tailored trousers or a knee-length skirt to keep the look professional.
Should a leather blazer fit tight?
It should be close-fitting but not tight. You should be able to button it over a thin layer and move your arms freely. Leather relaxes slightly with wear but does not stretch much.
Is lambskin or sheepskin better for a blazer?
Both work well. Lambskin is a little softer and lighter; sheepskin is slightly sturdier for everyday use. The difference is small, so choose based on the style and color you prefer.
Can I order a leather blazer made to measure?
Yes. Our custom service includes a free quote and mockup and one free alteration, with lambskin, sheepskin, goatskin, cowhide or buffalo hide available. Visit our custom leather jackets page to start.
Do you ship leather blazers to the US?
Yes. Shipping is free worldwide by DHL, FedEx or TNT. Import duties, where they apply, are paid by the customer.
