As you might already know, a leather jacket is a classic wardrobe staple that never seems to go out of style, so it is a great addition to just about anyone's closet. However, instead of going out and investing in a leather jacket, you may want to consider looking at your leather-look options instead. These are a few reasons why.

1. Many are Cruelty-Free

For one thing, if you are concerned about the animal cruelty aspect that goes along with wearing leather, you are sure to be comforted by the fact that you can purchase a cruelty-free leather-look jacket that is not actually made from animal hide. This can allow you to get the same look as your friends without worrying about buying something that goes against what you believe in.

2. They're Generally More Affordable

Leather jackets are made to last for a long time, and a high-quality leather jacket can be a piece that you can wear for many years. However, the unfortunate thing is that they can be a whole lot more expensive. If you're on a tight budget, you may want to consider looking at the much more affordable leather-look jackets that are out there. Even if you have enough to spend on a leather jacket, you might find that your money is better spent on faux leather. Then, you might have enough to actually buy a couple of jackets in different colors and styles rather than just buying one jacket to wear all season long.

3. You Can Wear it in the Rain

One thing that you might not have thought about is the fact that a leather jacket can be damaged by water. Many leather-look jackets, on the other hand, are actually waterproof. This means that a leather-look jacket can actually be a much better choice when it's raining or snowing outside. Of course, before you expose your new jacket to any water, you will definitely want to check the care instructions. You might find that you can actually machine wash your jacket rather than going through the work that goes along with cleaning a traditional jacket as well.

As you can see, there are a few different reasons why it can be a good idea to buy a leather-look jacket rather than a "real" leather jacket. Plus, you might find that there are plenty of styles out there that you really like and that look surprisingly similar to the real thing.
