The 28-year-old Pretty Little Liars star and Canadian-born beauty looks like the ultimate trendsetter in a fitted black jacket adorned with gold zipper detail. Mitchell pairs her edgy topper with a white collared blouse and flirty white skirt for a bohemian chic contrasting touch.

Sara Sampaio

While the 24-year-old Portuguese model may stun in lingerie as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, she also proves that she can easily rock a more conservative look with this outfit. Her fierce black leather jacket brings a versatile, casual layer to her brilliant red lace frock, and also complements her cool black fedora. To wrap up her ensemble, Sampaio’s black stiletto ankle booties flatter the leather and add a polished effect to an otherwise laidback ensemble.

Bella Thorne

If you prefer tomboy chic to girlish detail, try taking your cues from Bella Thorne’s rebellious approach to leather. The 18-year-old actress stuns in a studded black jacket effortlessly styled with a white short-sleeved blouse. Her black and white gingham print trousers and simple metallic jewellery complete the look, which shows that weekend leather is a perfectly wearable look for the carefree fashionista.
