Fashions come and go, but the leather jacket is a cult classic that will stay in style forever, and Venus Williams’ patent leather jacket style offers the perfect way to style this timeless staple.
Not only does she rock this wardrobe staple with incredible style, she’s also ditched her favorite color, black, for a deep burgundy. And with the weather being so unpredictable, it never hurts to pick up a new jacket for your capsule wardrobe.
And if you’re wondering what colors suit you, autumnal hues will look great on those with warm or golden skin tones. Wearing earthy tones like dark red, bronze and burnt brown is also very much in line with the 2024 fashion trends of quiet luxury. Cherry red has also been seen frequently on the catwalks, such as in Gucci’s spring/summer collection by Sabato de Sarno.
She posted this stunning seasonal look on social media in Milan, wearing a patent leather jacket from Frankie Shop with black knitted pants and a shirt designed by the label Samsoe. She teamed the look with a cherry red Gucci Jackie bag and tassel loafers.
Her followers were quick to comment on the look, captioning the post: “Ti amo, Milano,” with one person saying: “That burgundy leather jacket looks great on you.”

What really makes this look stand out is the color coordination: the shoes, bag, and jacket are all the same deep brownish-red. Plus, this color is a great alternative to black, which is often a popular choice for many people during the transitional seasons, so this look is perfect for resisting the temptation of a black outerwear piece in the cooler months. If burgundy isn’t your thing, try looking for leather jackets in burnt orange or chocolate colors; there are plenty available!
Our woman&home digital fashion writer, Amelia Yeomans, commented on the style: “When you think of leather jackets, a striking burgundy colour probably isn’t what springs to mind, but Venus’s style might just be what convinces you to ditch your classic black outerwear.”
She adds, “While crimson tones are typically associated with autumn and winter outfits, this shade offers a beautiful accent of color that’s not too loud or overbearing and can be paired with almost every color in your wardrobe all year round. It’s an unexpected choice for this time of year, but I love it and plan to replicate it as the seasons change.”
