hHappy Days. Like the days getting longer. And the title of the famous US telefilm 1974-1984. Impossible to forget Arthur Fonzarelli, the character who went down in history for his witty jokes and recognizable Fifties look. In spring, the trends dust off his beloved oversized leather jacket with front zip.
Signed or vintage, in smooth black leather or used effect, real or fake, is the last distinctive piece of the outfit. But if it is always legitimate to wear the leather bomber jacket à la The Fonz, i.e. effortlessly, over a white t-shirt and jeans, there are many other suggestions for wearing the leather jacket of the moment in an original way in Spring 2023 – without forgetting a pinch of femininity, which doesn’t hurt.
Crop top and long denim skirt
How to match the oversized leather jacket on the skirt? The combo to copy is made up of the classic vintage effect black leather bomber and the long seventies denim skirt. The mix with the crop top updates the daily look, while the kitten heel pumps transform it into a perfect outfit for the evening as well.

Gray T-shirt and tailored trousers
Instead of the white Fonzie t-shirt, the little-seen choice that doesn’t deviate too much from the original look: in light gray, perfect with black tailored trousers with a masculine cut. A look to try even in the office.

Slip dresses and mules
The oversized leather jacket can turn into a perfect style ally for the evening in Spring. When the temperatures drop, just wear it to stay warm even with a light dress, like the petticoat so popular. The heaviness of the bomber authorizes him to already wear sandals: colored mules in contrast with the total black look.

Complete with leather
Use the oversized jacket as if it were a maxi blazer, the last idea to copy to try the way of the leather suit. In this case a white shirt or T-shirt is a must, to break up the ensemble. To be completed with a pair of thin strappy sandals.

Oversized shirt and cargo pants
The oversized leather bomber jacket lends itself to being worn with the comeback trend of the moment, the cargo pants. Camouflage or solid color according to taste, in 2023 they are worn with nineties sneakers and a men’s striped shirt.

Casual but definitely not casual.
