When we're looking to amp up a simple outfit, there's one layer that'll always do the trick: a somewhat-edgy and blogger-approved leather jacket. Even Michelle Obama is well-versed in this styling hack, as she opted to wear one to Aspen Institute's 2016 Project Play Summit, sliding it over her casual look of a caramel sweater, black pants, and sneakers.

However, Michelle, being the style star and trendsetter she is, didn't go with your everyday moto variation. Instead, she opted for a blazer-like piece, and now, we're dying to add a similar option to our own wardrobes.

Read on for a good look at the first lady's versatile topper, then shop what you need to follow her lead — before the rest of the world catches on.
