There's a few basic items that a woman need in their closet. A white basic t-shirt, a great pair of jeans that makes her booty pop, classic converse, stunning killer heels and a classic leather jacket.

A leather jacket is a necessity, as well as a fashion hack. You can be in the ugliest pair of "Mom*" jeans, but throw on a leather jacket on top of it and you're 80's rocker chic.

Until last year, I had never owned a leather jacket before. I had always wanted one, but I hadn't found one that I would fall in love with - at least not enough to justify the hundreds of dollars I was gonna spend on it.

Until I came across the Maje Basalt leather jacket in black.

I get the most compliments about my style, when I wear the Basalt. I get compliments on the deisgn, the softness of the leather (which truthfully feels like butter on your skin) and the fit altogether. The Basalt is designed to mold with the shape of your body. It's true to size, but because it's a natural product, it will stretch to your body type. It comes in red and natural as well.
