If you’ve spent any amount of time getting familiar with the women’s fashion industry and trends, you would’ve noticed one thing; layers are a surefire ticket to stunning outfits. Most notable are the leather jackets that can turn mundane attire to party-worth levels of stylish. The sheer variety of designs, colors, and types of leather available make the process of designing a unique outfit hassle-free. Among these many variations, the biker jacket for women is often touted as the objective “best” of them all. Is it, though?
There is no scientific method of answering this question, as everyone has a different taste in fashion. Each person has their own preferences. But the fact that so many people agree with this statement suggests that there is some truth to it. So, why don’t you see for yourself?
Here are a few of the many possible styling options with biker jackets for women. These will give you a good idea of their potential, and place in the women’s fashion hierarchy, so you can decide on their appeal by yourself.
- All-black Galore:
If you are someone that enjoys wearing complete black outfits, then you need to get into the world of women’s leather jackets. All-black outfits can look A-tier, but then again, they can also suffer from monotony and blandness. Women’s biker jackets eliminate all of these issues by offering a solution to the plainness issue.
A black biker jacket can also act as both an addition or the focal point of your outfit, depending on the type of leather and the design. A classic glossy moto will steal the show and will attract all of the eyes towards it. On the other hand, a simple suede biker will have an overall positive impact on your outfit’s looks while staying covert.
- Jeans and Jacket:
When it comes to garments that cover the lower part of your body, nothing beats a nice pair of jeans. Sure, other options excel at certain scenarios, but jeans are forever. So, what better way to add to their vibe than a luxe leather jacket?
The matchup between these two pieces of clothing is so perfect that it leads many to wonder, “were leather jackets and jeans designed to be worn together?” Spoiler alert, they were, many people on screen have worn leather jackets and jeans. Yet despite that, everything from a pair of blue jeans with a brown biker to a black jacket with khaki jeans is a type of fashion art.
- Classic Biker Look:
Not everyone is a fan of the classic biker look, yet even the non-enthusiasts can’t deny its allure. This is especially true for the modern iterations of the classic look that integrates contemporary urban fashion with the definitive biker style.
Pulling off this look is also not as difficult as it may appear at first glance. This style is so stacked with details that rocking it often seems like a daunting task. But fear not; the secret to an effective biker look is just picking the right combination of jacket and accessories.
The jacket, of course, needs to be a bit loud with angular design, flashy details like zippers, and a glossy finish. Ripped jeans usually work the best to establish this style. Finally, utilizing the power of leather shoes, purses and belts is the secret sauce to rocking this look flawlessly.
The only thing to keep in mind is to not overdo the details. The jacket is usually detailed enough, so avoid shirts with patterns of detailed designs; they would just look messy. Also, a brown women’s biker jacket with blue ripped jeans and suede shoes is a glamorous look. However, it’s far less common.
- The Office Lady:
Focusing on your looks and crafting interesting outfits can be an arduous task when you work in an office or a formal environment. It is really easy to get caught in the pitfall of wearing essentially the same basic outfit every day with slight variations.
Ideally, you want something that looks good, is easy to create variations of outfits with, and is compliant with the dress code. Well, the women’s biker jackets fill all of these boxes and many more. Adding one to your existing outfits is as easy as just putting them on top. Yes! This is unbelievably simple.
Although this works just fine, if you put a drop of extra effort into integrating a biker jacket into your work attire, you will see results far beyond your expectations. Things like matching and contrasting the colors of your dress/shirt with your jacket or wearing matching leather shoes can elevate your office looks to a whole new level, all the while staying within the bounds of the dedicated dress code.
- Comfort Clothing:
If you search for outfits for women’s leather jackets, you will be bombarded with pics of sharply dressed models in fancy clothing. You might think that this is the only way to wear a leather biker jacket; you will be wrong. These jackets work just as well for your relaxation time as they do for party/hangout time.
Dressing up for a trip to the grocery store or the local coffee shop should be time-efficient, and most importantly, comfortable. The biker jackets achieve this by being an extension of your already existing comfort outfits. They work remarkably well with sweatshirts and hoodies, sometimes even too well.
The main advantage of making a biker jacket part of your downtime clothing is that it doesn’t take much effort to integrate yet makes you look substantially better. A hoodie with a biker jacket can even be worn to occasions that require you to dress to impress with a little bit of tweaking.
Finding the Right Biker Jacket
These are obviously not all of the ways of styling a women’s leather biker jacket, not even close. But, hopefully, you now have a somewhat understanding of the biker’s potential. So, the question arises, “How can you find the perfect one?” With so many colors, materials, and design variations, finding the one that will perfectly fit your life is not easy. Not to mention the custom biker jackets. They are a class apart.
Telling someone you should buy this jacket is not a viable strategy, as every person leads a different life with different preferences. What is viable is giving you some tips to narrow down your search:
- Set a finite budget, and look within that limit.
- Read about the different types of leather, and choose the one that you want your jacket to be made out of.
- Consider if you want a jacket for a specific scenario or a general-purpose all-rounder one.
- These tips will help you narrow down your search enough to find that one perfect jacket.
The Takeaway:
The above-mentioned styles of rocking a biker jacket for women are just a sample of their possibilities. A good one at that, but still a small sample. The true power of these jackets lies in their ability to hold up to experimentation and still look good. Rarely will you find an outfit crafted around a biker jacket that looks utterly horrible. So, keep experimenting, and you will find many unique outfits that are as gorgeous as clothing gets.
Lots of love,
