Fashion’s Favourite Whistles Leather Jacket Is Back In Stock

Every so often a piece of clothing comes along that gets hearts racing across the entire fashion industry. Sometimes it’s a catwalk look that goes viral (meaning it’s probably out of reach for most of us) and sometimes it’s a more accessible high street buy that proceeds to pop up in the wardrobes of all the most stylish people I know. Whistles’ Bonded Leather Jacket is one of these pieces. Of course, it’s real leather so it’s still an investment piece at £395, but its clean, cool, structural lines; buttery-soft, luxurious texture, plus its classic wardrobe staple qualities (it doesn’t get more timeless than a black leather jacket, does it?) make it a very wise investment indeed. So much so that the style sold out pretty instantaneously when it first launched in black last year, and those lucky enough to have snagged it the first time around have been flaunting theirs on social media ever since. This week, however, we received the email we’ve all been waiting for from our inside sources at the brand to say it’s officially back in stock—and there’s a new brown colour way to boot. 

I can personally vouch for the jacket as I borrowed it from the brand to wear during London Fashion Week—then proceeded to fall head over heels for it when I tried it on with so many of my go-to outfits and it made every single one feel more elevated and cool. Honestly, it’s a minimalist’s dream, and influencers have been styling theirs with everything from blue jeans and loafers for spring to relaxed tailoring and knitwear layers during winter. Tanice Elizabeth has even showed us how good it looks thrown over little black dresses. 

So, if you’re in the market for a timeless, cool and elevated transitional jacket; or, like me, you’ve been waiting (im)patiently for this specific style to become available again, keep scrolling to shop Whistles’ sought-after leather jacket while you still can—and get some outfit inspiration from some of our favourite influencers too.
