How To Wear a Biker Leather Jacket

A couple of weeks ago I visited the capital of fashion; Paris. Wonderful street style and great fashion everywhere you look. While in Paris, I fell head over heels in love… With a leather biker jacket!

It can be worn in so many different ways and can give you many different looks day and night. Make sure you choose a good biker jacket though. What I mean by that is you need to invest in this trend if you really want to follow it. Here are some pointers:

• Buy a genuine leather jacket – they’re more expensive, but far more comfortable, look better and last longer

• Find a modern version of a biker jacket – you want your jacket to be feminine and accentuate your waste, therefore choose a fitted jacket

• Think long about what you can wear your jacket with – maybe it just doesn’t fit your style and mind-set, however I feel that a biker jacket suits any age, style and outfit, if worn right

Once you’ve become the proud owner of a hot, leather jacket you need to think about how you wear it:

• As the biker jacket can be seen as somewhat edgy, rock n’ roll and masculine, try avoiding pairing the jaket with other items that are like that; western boots, Dr. Martens, Converse. Unless you really are going for the 80s rock chick/festival/concert look

• Don’t go too far the other way either and wear dresses made out of too feminine materials and colours like rose silk. Your style will then become messy and Courtney Love-ish – and that we don’t want…

• For a more sophisticated and elegant look pair the jacket up with some cool high heels, some skinny jeans and a pretty blouse – your look will then become elegant and stylish, but somewhat edgy and cool!

Here is the jacket of my choice (All Saints Mohan Leather Jacket) worn in three different ways; lunch, work and at a night out:
