Is cherry red/blood red colored leather jacket considered a classic type of color that won go out of style? And can it go with anything? of should i stick with black.

it takes a certain something for the red, and then you still might not have it.


I'd go black or brown first, then red after if you're feeling it

I feel like the rule for leather jackets is similar to that for suits - if you only own one, you should stick to a basic, conservative color, like black or dark brown for leather, and grey or navy for a suit. Leather jackets make a bit of a statement to begin with, so you should take some caution in choosing color and style. Not many guys can get away with a leather jacket in a non-traditional color.


Having said that, I don't see anything particularly offensive about the color you've shown. A brown with a bit of a red tint seems fine to me, as long as there's no mistaking the fact that it is, in fact, brown and not red.
