A cropped faux leather jacket in a bright colour like red or electric blue or emerald makes the statement that black cannot quite manage. The cropped length means the colour sits exactly where it draws the most eye which is right at your waist. The brightness reads as modern and intentional rather than costume when paired with considered proportions. The faux leather construction gives the colour a slight sheen that makes it feel more contemporary than a matte finish would. You are dressing with purpose when you choose a bright cropped faux leather jacket. These jackets work best with neutral trousers and clean knitwear that lets the colour do the talking.
