When it comes to fashion, whether you're minimalist, maximalist, or something entirely in between, there's one staple item you need in your wardrobe: a leather jacket. It's truly the Swiss army knife of clothing. There are plenty of different styles to choose from, including oversize, cropped, and motorcycle — just to name a few. You can dress it up or down, and whether you're wearing it for a date or throwing it on for a quick grocery store run, there's nothing like a well-worn leather jacket that is perfectly you.

Quince 100% Leather Oversized Bomber Jacket
Quince 100% Leather Oversized Bomber Jacket ($190)
Height: 5'6.5"
Size: Small (sized up)
"Ever since seeing Hailey Bieber rock an oversize leather jacket, I've been obsessed with finding the perfect one. The problem? Most of the products I loved were gorgeous — but way out of my price range. I had heard about Quince from friends, and when I saw they had what looked like the perfect oversize leather jacket at one of the best prices I had seen, I jumped on it immediately. Because it was so well-priced, I was a little nervous about the quality, but as soon as I got it in the mail, I knew my concerns were nothing to be worried about. The silhouette is timeless and goes with everything in my closet, the quality of the leather is amazing, and I honestly can't leave the house in this jacket without at least one person asking me where I bought it. I'm typically an extra small but I sized up to a small, and I think it gives me the perfect oversize look." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Quince 100% Leather Shearling Trim Aviator Jacket
Quince 100% Leather Shearling Trim Aviator Jacket ($250)
Height: 5'3"
Size: Large (sized up)
"I've been on the hunt for a baggy, lived-in-looking leather jacket to add to my collection of coats, and this aviator jacket from Quince immediately caught my eye. I absolutely love the shearling collar (bonus points because it's removable) and the warm, chocolaty-brown color. I opted to size up from my usual medium coat size and got a large one for a looser, oversize fit. It's baggy, but the waist and cuffs have elastic to cinch in those areas, keeping the jacket from swallowing me. While I don't think this coat would be warm enough to withstand a Northeast winter, it's a great in-between coat for those days when you need more than a light jacket but don't want to drag out anything too heavy-duty. If you layer a thick sweater underneath it (and there's plenty of room to do that), I'm sure it would keep you quite toasty." — Jessica Harrington, senior editor, beauty

Quince 100% Leather Blazer
Quince 100% Leather Blazer ($200)
Height: 5'1"
Size: Small (usual size)
"As someone who has been collecting genuine leather jackets for years, I have high standards for quality and fit. Quince's leather blazer has become one of my favorite pieces to style in the fall and winter. The leather is soft and malleable but also durable. I can tell that this piece will only get better the more I wear it, forming a beautiful, unique patina. Most leather blazers on the market have an oversize fit, which can look overwhelming on me since I'm 5'1". This one fits more true to size with a timeless silhouette that instantly elevates any outfit. It doesn't look too boxy on me, but it's roomy enough to accommodate sweaters without feeling stuffy. Plus, the leather jacket is as functional as it is stylish. It keeps me warm during the brisk NYC evenings, though I don't recommend wearing it in snowy, true winter weather." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, shopping
