Be it day or night, a cropped leather coat is a no-fail way to top off a look. Olivia Wilde and Alexa Chung certainly got the memo, showing that cool leather jackets aren't just for casual ensembles - they're also perfect for adding edge to soft, feminine dresses and dressing down more formal frocks. And since they hit at or above the waist (and show it off!), they can flatter every figure.
