Biker jackets are a kind of must-have in the wardrobes of fashionistas all over the world. It is a mistake to believe that with its help only a youth look is created, justified in a punk rock style. A classic jacket can “revive” even an everyday wardrobe, so it’s better to purchase just such models in order to get a relevant and fresh look for the spring and summer-autumn seasons.
What to wear with a biker jacket
You don't have to follow every fashion trend to have a wardrobe that can meet your changing needs.
Important: There are several basic things that are in demand at all times. A leather jacket is included in this list. This cut of the jacket goes well with several classic items: skirts, dresses, sundresses, jeans. Here are the basic rules for competent duets.
We wear a biker jacket with jeans
A leather jacket is a thing with a pronounced character. It helps to create a bright and daring look for going out and for every day.If you need to choose an outfit for a long walk around the city, a meeting in a cafe or a shopping trip, then complement your favorite jeans with a zip-up jacket.
Here's how to get the best combinations:
- the jacket must be blue or black;
- if jeans have a lot of pockets, holes and other decorative elements, then go with a classic fitted biker jacket without an abundance of zippers and stripes. And vice versa - simple denim trousers should be complemented by a jacket with rich trim;
- Jeans of any color look great with a black biker jacket: gray, brown, black and all shades of blue.
With classic blue or light blue pants, you can safely combine jackets in white, beige, burgundy and brown.
The short cut of a biker jacket may turn off those who are afraid of the piercing autumn winds. You should not refuse to wear leather jackets for this reason. The jacket hugs your waist tightly, and the thick material will prevent heat loss. In addition, with a biker jacket you can create multi-layered looks, and a long sweater or blouse can easily peek out from under it.
Options for combining with a dress
A romantic and feminine look is achieved when a rough leather biker jacket is casually thrown over the shoulders over the dress. Such a clash of opposites gives rise to an unusual and memorable look.
There are no restrictions on the color or cut of the dress. Jacket compatible:
- pleated,
- flared,
- tapered,
- lace,
- knitted,
- plain,
- colorful dresses and sundresses.
Biker jackets look unexpected over a checkered print. The jacket successfully smoothes out even animalistic and floral motifs on the fabric. You can “walk” any dress with it, except for outright “leopard print” kitsch, of course.
Important: for summer it is better to buy a black leather biker jacket with short sleeves. She looks no less original with a dress.
If you want romance and lightness, we wear a lace or pleated sundress with a pink jacket for walks along the embankment or in the park. If you want to add audacity and brightness to your party look, throw a biker jacket over a bold lingerie-style mini. A classic sheath dress, a long loose sundress with a straight cut + a leather jacket give a calm casual look.
Accessories and haberdashery
In any closet there will be things that go perfectly with a leather jacket.
- Neck scarves: both calm, solid colors and variegated ones.
- Long thin or voluminous scarves, including snoods.
- Belts with large buckle.
For jewelry, thin chains with laconic pendants, chokers, massive bracelets, and large rings are suitable. In sunny weather, don't forget your glasses.
You can cover your head with a turban or a hat according to the season. Important: even sports hats will not look ridiculous with a biker jacket if they are supported by other elements of clothing.
Necessary items that do not fit in your jacket pockets can easily be placed in a backpack, small square or large bag-like bag. Select these accessories depending on the purpose for which you are leaving the house. Even a richly decorated clutch can go with a leather jacket.
What to wear with a biker jacket for women over 40
A fitted leather jacket with zippers has no age restrictions and looks quite organic in the women's wardrobe of older ladies. The exception is frankly youth models with fringe, rivets and chains.
Based on biker jackets, jeans and dresses, women over 40 can create relevant and age-appropriate looks.
- You need to choose classic denim or skinny pants without scuffs or holes. This way the woman will look status-appropriate and according to her age.
- If your figure is plump, then it is better to wear the jacket half-unbuttoned. The resulting V-shaped neckline lengthens the face, opens the neck, visually elongating the image. And vice versa - a fastened zipper enlarges and rounds the oval of the face.
- For dresses, it is recommended to choose laconic, classic outfits that reach the knee or mid-calf. If the situation allows, then a maxi is also suitable.
Important: an abundance of decor and jewelry will cheapen the image of respectable ladies. If you want to add brightness and attract attention, women over 40 should experiment with the texture and color of their clothes. Although total black is a permanent hit for the fair sex of all ages.
What to wear with a biker jacket for men
In a man's wardrobe, a jacket of this style is an irreplaceable and unique thing. Only with it you can create incredibly stylish, courageous and interesting images.
The most successful combinations of leather jackets will be:
- with ripped jeans;
- with skinny jeans in classic or black colors;
- tapered cargo trousers perfectly complement a stylish men's look;
- A white dress shirt and a classic black biker jacket will help create a daring and stylish look for a working day;
- the most successful color combinations are black and white, for example: a black biker jacket, a white T-shirt, black jeans and white plimsolls.
General style recommendations, successful combinations
Don’t think that a biker jacket and skinny jeans are the only possible option. This look is, of course, a classic, but here’s how else you can play with combinations in clothes.
- Skirt. Young girls can wear a skirt of any length with a leather jacket. Ladies over 40 are better off choosing midi or maxi.
- Classic suit trousers.
- Shorts.
- Skinny in check or bold colors.
Knitted items provide an interesting combination with a biker jacket of any color for both women's and men's looks. They level out the roughness of the skin, helping to create a warm and feminine look for the fair sex.
As for shoes, depending on the look, choose boots, boots, heels or flat shoes to go with the jacket. The leather jacket will look natural with both stiletto sandals and military shoes (with rough lacing, thick treads).
A leather jacket will combine favorably with things if it contrasts with them. This rule applies to both color solutions and textures.
Kozhanka is valued for the opportunity to experiment, when balance and harmony are born in opposition. Don't miss the opportunity to diversify your usual everyday and holiday outfits with a jacket.
