Winter is harsh, and most of the time we bundle up in our heavy duty winter jackets, but there have been some days this year when layers and a leather jacket is just perfect. Some days, you just want to wear your awesome leather jacket that fits your body to a tee, accessorize and look super chic in the midst of the gloomy winter season.

This amazing medium brown jacket is nicely structured with a high asymmetrical collar and can be paired with a printed leopard and zebra print scarf to complement the brown colour. To accessorize, a beautiful rose gold studded watch and moss-green platform booties with a hint of military inspiration complete the look. This combination of accessories can be worn with a sweater dress and tights for a dressy chic look or a sweater with jeans for a more casual ensemble.

1. Brown Leather Jacket: This gorgeous brown leather jacket is 100 per cent genuine leather, slightly distressed, soft and formfitting. When zipped up, it is a high-collared jacket, but sits nicely asymmetric when zipped down. It is the perfect addition to any outfit in the fall, spring or warmer days of winter. Since the leather jacket is a pricier investment piece, make sure you take care of the jacket using leather conditioner so it will last longer! (Danier Leather Masonville, $299)

2. Leopard and Zebra Circle Scarf: This scarf is uniquely printed so when looped around your neck, both animal prints mix nicely together while the black balances the prints. (Aldo Accessories, $25)

3. Rose Gold Studded Watch: This BCBG Maxazria rose gold studded watch is a showstopper! The face of the watch is square with a black interior. This piece is a bit pricey, but it is a piece that can be integrated with trendy accessories and outfits every year. The links are not too big, so the style is suitable for many different size wrists. (BCBG Max Azria, Shoppers Drug Mart Huron/Highbury, $265)

4. Moss-Green Platform Booties: These suede moss-green platform booties complete the outfit without being too matchy. The military-inspired buttons give the booties structure, mirroring the theme of the leather jacket. (Forever 21, $60)

Whether it's spring, fall or a nice winter day, leather lovers find any excuse to complete their outfit with their favourite leather jacket! If you are an animal lover, faux leather looks just as edgy with the accessories above. The brown leather and rose gold palette is a twist on the rocker trend that is typically styled with black and silver. This structured ensemble is sure to add some excitement to your winter fashions.
