Outfit to Wear With a Gray Leather Jacket
A gray leather jacket has all the rock 'n' roll cool of its more popular black counterpart, but the lighter shade makes it more offbeat. If you've got a gray leather topper in your closet, or plan to add one soon, deciding what to wear with it might seem like a challenge because they are a bit distinctive. In fact, there are many different outfits you can build around your gray leather.

Denim

Most women already have some jeans in their closets, so pairing your gray leather jacket with your favorite blue denim is an easy place to start. Try teaming the jacket with some long, skinny jeans, a high-neck blouse and a cute pair of ankle boots. White denim looks especially modern with gray leather. When it's warm enough outside, change into some jeans shorts and wear them with a graphic T-shirt and retro basketball shoes before topping it all off with your jacket.
Skirt
-
Kick the dressiness of your jacket up a notch and wear it with a skirt. Women who want to show off their curves can try a slim pencil skirt with a tee and a pair of sleek high-heel pumps. For something a little sweeter, try your gray leather jacket with a short, flirty gathered skirt and some ballet flats. The contrast of the soft skirt and the tough jacket will win you style points.

Dress
-
If you're sporting a cheerful little dress, wear your gray leather jacket as a cool alternative to a blazer or cardigan sweater. During the day, try it with a lightweight frock with ruffles or a flower print. If you are going to a semiformal event in the evening, don it with your party dress. A cocktail frock with a fitted bodice and full skirt looks especially smart with a leather jacket that's cropped to the waist because it creates a very flattering silhouette.
Long Pants
-
If jeans are too casual for work but you still want to wear your jacket to the office, just wear it with your dress trousers. The dichotomy between a pair of tailored pants and a trendy gray leather jacket shows that you're willing to take chances with your wardrobe. If leggings are more your thing, pile on the layers: sport them with a long tunic while topping your ensemble with your jacket. The way the different layers peek out from each other looks effortlessly hip.
