" While we&amp;#039;ve discussed summer leather before, the topic is back on our minds because Julian&amp;#039;s Auctions just announced a large lot of music memorabilia, which includes Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s wing-shouldered &amp;quot;Thriller&amp;quot; bomber. It&amp;#039;s expected to fetch $400,000, and a portion of the proceeds will, not coincidentally, go to an animal sanctuary where Jackson&amp;#039;s bengal tiger, named Thriller, currently lives. The night before the auction was announced, Ryan Gosling showed his mettle at the MTV Movie Awards in a moto jacket that was a nice, casual contrast to his pants \u2014 Salvatore Ferragamo&amp;#039;s navy-and-black take on tuxedo trousers. While a different Ryan was a tad more laid-back, Gosling&amp;#039;s second skin was spot-on. Worn for a night out or a big event (including a music video shoot), summer leather looks great \u2014 so long as there&amp;#039;s air conditioning. Probably best if you invest in one leather jacket that&amp;#039;s lightweight and minimal, like a bomber or motorcycle style. The fewer the zips, and the lighter the jacket, the easier it will go from spring (with tees) to fall (with layers). Avoid a statement piece you&amp;#039;ll turn to less often. A good option: The All Saints jacket above, which riffs on Gosling&amp;#039;s in a subtle way. Or you could just snag MJ&amp;#039;s when the auction opens on June 25.
