The motorcycle jacket, now in much less intimidating styles, has been seen on countless runways and on the backs of 20- and 50-somethings alike. Besides the obvious need to warm up during fall, the need to maintain a certain cool factor is also necessary among fashionistas (and fashionistos), and this jacket does just that. This season styles range from looks closer to the beloved bomber jacket that Guess designed, to the traditional shape with tweed overlay as designed by DSquared.
Find a Proper Fit
The main key to how to wear this season’s jacket is to get one that fits properly. The cut is just as important—if not more important—than the quality of the leather. To get it just right, the sleeve should drop down an inch past your wrist, the shoulder should fit properly (not loose or too snug), and the bodice should cut in to define the waistline.
Find an Option That Fits Your Style
Luckily in this design era, designers are always anxious to put a twist on things. So if black isn’t your thing…no problem, the motorcycle jacket has now adapted to all neutral colors. Don’t be afraid to make this trend your own, look for styles with a hood, unique lining, or maybe studs and extra decorative zippers.
Find a Jacket That Fits Your Budget
Breaking the bank is unnecessary when searching for your latest find. Real leather jackets will obviously last longer and age beautifully, but if you don’t see yourself dawning a rough and tumble leather frock in a few years, the suggestion would be to look for a faux leather jacket that gives you just as much style, for most often, less than $100.
Wetseal and Urban Outfitters have styles that can accommodate the most modest shopping budget. But while looking for the faux version, avoid patented bubble gum styles and patterns that don’t mimic real leather. The more shine and funky styles, the easier it will be to detect unnatural leather.
Use Leather Cleaner to Get More From Your Investment
Maintain your investment with the proper leather cleaner and storage area. Anyone who’s owned a leather couch knows how difficult it could be to patch up a hole or remove a stain, and the same holds true for your leather motorcycle jacket. As much as you can—without being obsessed—avoid sharp objects and things that can puncture your jacket. After searching countless stores and finding the jacket with your name written all over it, surely you don’t want to patch holes or try to remove stains, right?
Whether real or fake your leather jacket can be brilliantly paired with a hoodie for day or sequin top for evening. Chucky scarves make up for the added warmth where your jacket may fall short, and fingerless gloves scream grunge rockstar. Another idea would be to pair it with your favorite little black dress with patterned or colored tights.
Whichever way your prefer to wear your leather motorcycle jacket, surely it will be the cool icing on your stylish cake.
