With summer well and truly behind us, and the crispness of autumn settling in across Ireland, it's time to turn our attention to cold weather essentials. With coat season now upon us, one stand-out fashion item is already emerging as a must-have for the season.
One style, that's a hit with celebrities and fashion enthusiasts, is the classic biker jacket. Timeless, effortlessly cool and a little edgy, these leather-look jackets are quickly becoming a staple for autumn wardrobes in Ireland.
While there are countless styles available in shops from Dublin to Galway, one particular jacket from River Island is turning heads and flying off shelves. The retailer's Brown Faux Leather Oversized Biker Jacket has become a trending item on its website and has already sold out in several sizes. However, if you act fast, you might still be able to grab one HERE.
Priced at a very reasonable €63, this jacket is poised to be the only autumn layer you need to stay cozy as Ireland’s unpredictable weather shifts toward winter. The oversized fit of the jacket makes it perfect for layering over your favourite knitwear or cozy jumpers as temperatures drop. Its versatility allows for effortless styling - whether you're dressing it up for a night at a pub or keeping it casual for a day of running errands in town, this jacket fits the bill.

Its surge in popularity can be attributed, in part, to its celebrity endorsements. Loose Women star Frankie Bridge recently showcased the jacket to her 1.5 million Instagram followers, praising it as the perfect choice for curvier figures.
She styled the jacket with mid-wash jeans and a white Peter Pan collar shirt, and stated: “I absolutely love the length of this brown biker jacket. If you're curvier on the lower part of your body, a jacket like this provides extra coverage over the bum. Plus, I adore the distressed leather look - it gives off a vintage vibe.”
Not only is the jacket fashionable, but it also features practical elements such as long sleeves and zip pockets, perfect for keeping your hands warm and your belongings secure. The collar adds a grungy edge, while the distressed finish gives a well-loved, lived-in appearance.
Distressed leather is a popular look among celebrities, with Molly-Mae Hague’s Ducie Luna Distressed Leather Bomber Jacket, priced at a whopping €913.95, going viral last year, while Hailey Bieber shared a snap in a similar style from Worn Vintage.
Elsewhere, New Look has this Black Washed Heavy Leather Look Biker Jacket for €74.99, while Topshop’s super oversized faux leather biker jacket in black comes in at €109 on ASOS.
