Oversized Leather Jackets for Women: How to Get the Volume Right

An oversized leather jacket is cut with dropped shoulders, deep armholes and extra room through the body, so it falls away from you and layers over knitwear; it is the dominant shape in our designer leather jackets edit this winter. Nour Hammour builds much of Resort 2027 around it, with the Nomi field jacket, the Livia and Dalma Long bombers and the croco-embossed Jane Short.

Below are the oversized leather jackets worth buying, how to size one, and a comparison drawn from each house’s own product information.

How to size an oversized leather jacket

Read the house’s fit note. An oversized jacket is designed to be big, so taking your usual size is normally right. Nour Hammour recommends your usual size from 168 cm and one size down below it on Nomi and Jane Short.

Check the shoulder seam. On an oversized cut it should sit below your shoulder, on the upper arm. If it reaches the elbow, the jacket is too big.

Mind the sleeve. Sleeves should cover the wrist bone. A snap cuff, as on Dalma Long, lets you adjust the length.

How to wear an oversized leather jacket

Balance the volume with a slim base: straight jeans, a column skirt, a fine knit. A big jacket over wide trousers can work, but tuck the top in so the waist shows. Push the sleeves up to show the wrist. In winter, an oversized jacket takes a chunky knit underneath without straining, which is the point of the cut.
