Biker jackets

Many stylish things come from the "man's shoulder" to the ladies' wardrobe. And biker jackets are no exception. Biker jackets, as they are also called, serve as an excellent tool for creating a fatal image. Such jackets do not cease to be a trend for several decades. Therefore, every fashionista should definitely have one or even several models in her arsenal. And we will show you how to choose and what to wear with a leather biker jacket!

This piece of clothing at one time became a real symbol of the free spirit. The absolute boom in biker motorcycle jackets came in the 1950s and 1960s. Then they finally took root in the minds of the world community as an attribute of a seasoned and reckless motorcyclist.

They appeared much earlier. For the first time, the biker jacket saw the light of day in 1928. This was preceded by an innovative proposal from the workers of the American company Schott, which specialized in sewing leather jackets. By the way, the company was founded by the sons of an emigrant from Russia (in 1913). And so, in the 1920s, the use of a zipper on outerwear was first tried there. This is how the seed for the biker jackets was laid, the sewing of which started in 1928.

But before that time, motorcyclists dressed completely differently. They wore long double-breasted jackets, hung with large pockets and a massive belt. They complemented their looks with motorcycle gloves with cropped toes (gaiters) and massive boots.

Subsequently, the production of leather jackets began to directly cooperate with the Harley-Davidson brand - the creator of the legendary motorcycle. It was then that it was noticed that it is much more convenient to ride the "iron horse" in a short jacket.

The classic biker jacket had three pockets, fake shoulder straps, a comfortable adjustable belt and the main "brand" sign - a zipper, offset from the center obliquely.Since then, designers have added and removed some details, but, in general, the biker jacket is recognizable at all times.

In modern fashion, there is a place for both authentic leather jackets and all kinds of their variations. The range of models is constantly updated with new products. And if we talk about women's leather jackets, then complete freedom of variations in length and colors reigns here. But let's start our review with a traditional leather jacket, which is equally appropriate for speed lovers and ordinary urban fashionistas. This is a minimalistic black leather biker jacket. It has two pockets, a classic slanting zipper and zips on the sleeves. The open zippers on the sleeves, which can also be tucked up, look especially stylish. In this case, it is better not to button up the jacket.

There are many models in custom lengths. So, you can find leather jackets, the bottom of which reaches the middle of the thigh. Or even biker jackets, tailcoats, like this one.

Also relevant today are shortened models, the bottom of which is located above the navel or slightly elongated - up to the upper thigh line.

In addition, it should be noted that designers have been experimenting with material for leather jackets for a long time. They are produced from combined fabrics (leather and fur, leather and knitwear). Biker-style jackets made from denim, latex or heavyweight wool are increasingly common.

Motorcycle jackets, although they do not have a slanting zipper, are no less interesting. Their models also delight with a variety of colors. The peculiarity of such "leather jackets" is the presence on them of all kinds of stripes with inscriptions and logos.

In a casual outfit, it is ideal to use a leather jacket complete with jeans (trousers, leggings) and a T-shirt or shirt. From shoes, both sneakers or slip-ons and ankle boots with wide heels will fit equally well. In the autumn season, such an ensemble will perfectly complete the snood.

Combining a leather jacket with ripped black jeans, a loose white T-shirt with prints (preferably black) will help to create a fashionable grunge look. For footwear, go for black or leopard-print shoes with high heels or last, as well as coarse flat boots or ankle boots.

You can create a punk look by adding red or plaid pants (or a miniskirt) and Dr. Martens. Massive earrings, bracelets, pendants will perfectly fit here.

Moreover, if at the height of the summer season you want to create an ultra-trendy look using a biker jacket, try wearing it with short denim shorts. Complete the look with a hat and sneakers or loafers.

Don't be afraid to combine leather with leather. The leather jacket looks great with leather pants or skirts. In this case, the pants must be skinny, the skirt - pencil or sun, knee-length or slightly higher.

Tutu skirts made of tulle look very original with a leather biker jacket. The contrast of brutality and tenderness is also traced in the ensemble of a lace dress and leather jacket. Leather jacket and suede trousers or pleated skirt are in original and stylish harmony. A very expressive image is created by a duet of a leather jacket and a maxi skirt.

Rough leather biker jackets also look great with dresses and sundresses made of chiffon, silk, they perfectly frame outfits with geometric and floral prints.

As you can see, leather biker jackets can be combined with any item from your wardrobe. Therefore, if you still have not acquired such a jacket, it is time to urgently correct the situation and join the adherents of the cult of this fashionable little thing.
