Samsoe Samsoe Salaax Leather Jacket in Black

A black leather jacket. Because sometimes being sensible is wildly overrated.

The Samsøe Samsøe Salaax Leather Jacket in Black is a contemporary women’s leather jacket with that unmistakably cool Scandinavian attitude. Crafted from leather in timeless black, it’s the sort of wardrobe investment that makes even your most basic outfit look considerably more interesting.

At BWD, we have a particular weakness for a brilliant leather jacket. Not because they’re trendy, but because they never really stop being cool. Wear one with denim, throw it over a dress, add it to tailoring or pair it with your favourite knitwear. It just works.

And the Salaax? It’s the kind of piece that brings a little attitude without making you look like you’re auditioning for a rock band.

Although, frankly, we wouldn’t rule it out.

Why it made the cut

• Timeless black leather brings instant edge to everyday dressing.
• Samsøe Samsøe’s contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic keeps the look modern and wearable.
• A brilliant alternative to a blazer when you want something a little less polished.
• Black works beautifully with denim, cream, grey, chocolate brown and pretty much everything else.
• Perfect for layering over T-shirts, knitwear and dresses.
• A versatile piece that moves easily between daytime and evening.
• The sort of jacket you’ll reach for year after year.
• Because a wardrobe without a fabulous leather jacket is missing a rather important member of the team.

How we’d wear the Salaax Leather Jacket

Our first choice? A white Samsøe Samsøe Alexo Tank Vest, blue barrel-leg jeans and the Salaax Leather Jacket. Add a belt, loafers or trainers and a pair of statement earrings. It’s that easy, thrown-together look we absolutely love.

For something a little more polished, wear it over the Odd Muse Long Sleeve Knitted Top in Cream with black tailored trousers. The contrast between soft knitwear and leather gives the outfit a lovely balance of texture and attitude.

We also love it with the Day Birger et Mikkelsen Oda Classic Gabardine Trousers in Black. Add a simple white tee and pointed shoes for a contemporary take on tailoring. A leather jacket instead of a blazer? Yes, please.

For evening, throw it over the Odd Muse Draped One Shoulder Midi Dress in Black. The contrast between a beautifully feminine dress and a black leather jacket is one of our favourite styling tricks.

How do you style a black leather jacket without looking too biker? Keep the rest of your outfit simple and contemporary. Tailored trousers, beautiful knitwear, crisp white cotton and relaxed denim all soften the look. It’s about adding contrast, not dressing for a motorcycle rally.

Is a black leather jacket worth investing in? Absolutely, provided it’s a shape you love and will wear regularly. A good leather jacket works across seasons, can be dressed up or down and brings something different to outfits you already own.

Can you wear a leather jacket with smart trousers? Please do. It’s one of the easiest ways to make tailoring feel modern and a little less predictable. We’re big fans of mixing polished pieces with something that has a bit of attitude.

And no, you don’t need biker boots, ripped jeans or an actual motorcycle. We have plenty of other clothes for that.

Care

Leather requires specialist care. Follow the garment’s care label and use a professional leather cleaner when necessary. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, direct heat and strong sunlight. Store on a suitable hanger to help maintain its shape.

One fabulous black leather jacket. A lifetime of outfit possibilities. And absolutely no intention of behaving ourselves.
