Biker jacket is a short leather jacket with an oblique zipper located from the hip to the shoulder. This is where its Russian name comes from. Over the 90 years of its existence, it has won the hearts of millions of people on the planet and managed to become a symbol of freedom. What to wear with a women's biker jacket to be on trend? Let's consider...

The article contains a lot of interesting things)) namely:

How it all began?

In 1928, Irwin Schott, one of the founders of the Schott leather outerwear company, modernized the prototype biker jacket by equipping it with a zipper. The new jacket was intended for motorcyclists. Hence the English name: biker jacket. Its origins lie in the uniforms of the military, especially those who rode on horseback. There is another famous name that the jacket owes to its creator: perfecto jacket, in honor of Irwin Schott’s favorite cigars.

Biker jackets have been in demand since their inception among bikers and police officers, but the real boom began after the release of the film “The Savage” in 1953 with Marlon Brando in the title role. He was wearing a perfecto jacket from his own wardrobe.

In the world of music, Elvis Presley was the first to wear it, which, of course, only fueled the passion for the leather jacket. The rock and roll idol was followed by rockers, metalheads, punks... Since then, the leather jacket has not gone out of fashion, only slightly changing its design.

Features of the classics

A classic biker jacket fits your body. This is due to its purpose: try riding a motorcycle with flowing clothes. Turn-down collar, with the zipper half unzipped - with lapels. Thanks to the oblique fastening on the chest, the jacket's fronts overlap one another and provide more reliable protection from the wind.

The sleeves are narrow, slightly longer than usual and have zippers so that you can wear motorcycle gloves over them. There may be leather details on the shoulders that imitate shoulder straps.

At the bottom of the jacket there is a belt with a metal buckle. This allows you to better “tailor” its fit. On the chest there is usually a vertical pocket for a road map, just below there is a small one with a flap for coins and two pockets on the sides.
Everything is very functional.

From time to time, studs, stripes, chains and even spikes appear on biker jackets, but these are just fashion trends. And recently, oversized jackets have become a trend, like a jacket from someone else’s shoulder. However, if you are looking for a model that will serve you for many years, choose among classic jackets and high-quality leather.

Not only classics

As often happens, good idea begin to be embodied in a variety of interpretations. The leather jacket got a fur lining and transformed into a coat, vest and much more. What non-standard variations on the theme of leather jackets exist now - read on.

With fur

A regular biker jacket does not have insulation. It perfectly protects from the wind, but practically does not warm. And if you want to wear your favorite model in winter? Then a leather jacket with fur will come in handy. This jacket, being extended to the groin, is an excellent option for a mild winter. The fur can either blend in with the leather jacket in color or contrast with it.

Sheepskin coat

Another winter option is a sheepskin coat. The difference between a sheepskin coat is that it is not just a jacket, but a specially dressed sheepskin with the skin facing out. The classic color of a leather jacket is black, but sheepskin coats with light fur look more impressive in light brown or beige shades.

From fabric

They look like leather jackets, but with a significant difference: they are made of fabric. From tweed, plain wool and even denim. It is important that such jackets have a more or less classic style without stylistic flourishes such as flounces in unexpected places, peplums, draperies and other things. Only in this case will they be truly stylish.

What happens if you sew a coat, borrowing characteristic elements from a biker jacket? It will be spectacular and unusual model. Such coats are always a little avant-garde and look better in non-standard looks.

Down jacket

Jacket filled with natural down or its synthetic analogues. To prevent the filling from being wrinkled, the entire surface of the down jacket is quilted. The combination of these features with elements of a leather jacket together gives a rather complex stylistic combination. Plus, a down jacket always provides extra volume. And if such a jacket is cut like a classic biker jacket, short and narrow, you get the impression that the clothing is too small.

This is exactly the feeling you get if you look at the girl on the left: she will button up and the jacket will stretch like a drum. Therefore, if you want to buy a down jacket with elements of a biker jacket, take a closer look at the oversized elongated models.

Oversized

Oversized models are the most trendy today. This applies not only to non-standard leather jackets, but also to regular leather ones. Moreover, recently there has been a trend towards short, oversized jackets. This oversized fit is good for those with short stature and an hourglass figure. Long, voluminous jackets usually turn an hourglass into a bun. To prevent this from happening, an emphasis on the waist is necessary, and a cropped biker jacket will do this in the best possible way.

“Triangles” (hips wider than shoulders) need to make sure that the bottom line of the jacket does not pass through the widest part of the hips. Ideally, a little lower than that. And a rigid shoulder line is required to keep its shape. Not all jackets have the necessary stiffness in the shoulder line. “Triangles” need to pay attention to this moment. Or choose too volumetric models to the waist and wear with trousers and skirts that suit your body type.

With combined sleeves

Some time ago there was a surge in the popularity of leather jackets, which had leather sleeves and the main part was made of fabric. Today they are not very relevant and, moreover, are less combinatorial than single-factor models. However, if you want non-standard design solutions, biker jackets with printed sleeves are a good option. For example, with a very fashionable leopard print. And one more option: a jacket and sleeves of different colors, but both are made of leather.

With spikes

Spikes on biker jackets appeared at the suggestion of informal youth movements, especially punks. It got to the point that push pins with the point up and even nails were used as thorns. Wearing them was unsafe for others. Today, jackets with spikes are not so dangerous, but the flair of aggressiveness remains.

To knock it down, such models should be worn with feminine flowy floral dresses, silk skirts, linen-style tops, and cozy soft sweaters. Well, if you want to add some spice to your image, then punk and grunge motifs are what you need.

Essentially this is the same jacket, but without sleeves. If it is made of leather, it is problematic to wear it in hot weather, although such a second layer always looks impressive, but in the fall there is a stylish and comfortable layering on top of a coat. The coat will keep you warm and your skin will be protected from the wind. The main thing is that the vest is loose enough, otherwise it won’t be possible to wear it over a coat. More options for a warm autumn: a vest over a hoodie or sweater.

Sweatshirt

Sweatshirt is a product made of thick knitwear with long sleeves and a zipper at the front. The sweatshirt has subtypes: sweatshirt and hoodie, so let's highlight them so as not to be confused.

If a sweatshirt doesn't have a zipper and looks like a knitted jumper, it's a sweatshirt.
If a sweatshirt does not have a zipper and has a hood, it is a hoodie.
That is, a sweatshirt must have a zipper. But the hood is optional.

Are there knitted leather jackets? Yes, the designer’s imagination has come to this.
But compared to jackets made of leather and thick lined fabrics, they have a big disadvantage: they do not hold their shape, so they often look too careless and give the silhouette a baggy look.

For children

Biker jackets came into children's wardrobes from adults. They look touching, but not like children's things, but like miniature copies of adults. Whether you dress your kids in these or leave the kids the opportunity to wear their own clothes is up to you.

We study the mat(erial) part

It's no secret that the mood and style of a thing largely depend on its texture. That is, from the material from which it is made. Let's see which options are most common.

Genuine Leather

Initially, leather jackets were made from thick genuine leather. This is not so much a whim as a necessity when riding a motorcycle. Leather is a wear-resistant, waterproof, windproof material. Such a jacket was even able to protect its owner from minor injuries when falling from a bike.

If you want to buy a jacket that will last for many years, then you need to choose a leather one. And the thicker the leather, the longer it will last. Although, of course, it will have to be worn out.

You can wear a leather biker jacket with anything. Absolutely. This is the kind of thing that will add the missing spice to any banal set, will knock down excessive pretentiousness from elegant dress, suitable for trousers, jeans, and skirts of any style. One thing: there must be a leather jacket the right style and laconic design.

Eco leather

A synthetic material obtained by applying a polyurethane film with micropores to a woven base. A pattern is applied to the film that imitates the surface of natural leather. As a result, the product looks quite natural.

As a rule, eco-leather jackets are much cheaper than leather ones. Although there are designers (for example, Stella McCartney in the photo below) who do not use genuine leather in their collections. And such things will be more expensive than many of their leather counterparts. As for the style, there are no differences from leather jackets.

Suede

The leather is specially tanned and stripped of its top smooth layer, soft and velvety. Suede biker jackets look very impressive and more delicate than leather ones. If leather can be compared to a confident statement, then suede is a quiet whisper. The most beautiful color options are not black. Suede brings color to the fore and allows it to play.

Such models fit perfectly into relaxed bohemian, boho and country looks, unlike leather ones. It is generally accepted that caring for suede is much more difficult than caring for leather. However, a water-repellent spray will protect the jacket from moisture, and small abrasions can be easily painted over with special paints.

Denim

How can you live without jeans, right? Probably, there is no longer any clothing that would not be embodied in this fabric. But the fact is that denim brings a special mood to any thing. If a leather biker jacket is about confidence and freedom, then a denim jacket is about ease and walks outside the city. Therefore, they look most impressive in walking looks.

Velvet

Another non-standard material for a leather jacket. Unlike the previous one, this one gives things a touch of elegance. A velvet biker jacket is easy to pair with a mini dress for a party. But with a pencil skirt and a white shirt, it’s probably not worth it.

Fur

If a leather jacket with a fur lining is commonplace, then completely fur quite rare. But still they meet, and both from natural fur, and from artificial ones. It's essentially a short coat. If you travel by personal vehicle, such a thing can be a good alternative to the standard fur “car lady”. But for public transport and long walks along the street it is not the best option.

It is a cardigan with elements of a biker jacket: oblique zipper, turn-down collar. In this product, two different stylistic messages are in conflict. On the one hand, the knitted texture means comfort and relaxation. On the other hand, lightning refers to sports.

Therefore, you need to fit such a thing into images that are on the verge of these two styles. And only these. When combined, for example, with romance, it will turn out unsuccessful. The picture on the left is just such an example. Therefore, if you are looking for a basic cardigan, then it is better not to look in the direction of similar ones.

Briefly about length

This is no less significant characteristic than texture. It is the length that is decisive in the question of what to wear a jacket with. So, what to do if your leather jacket...

Short

Short leather jackets look ideal with dresses and skirts flared from the waist, wide trousers to the floor and generally with trousers with a fit at the waist. But with skinnies they can only be worn in multi-layered looks with a play of volumes.

Average

It ends in the area of ​​the pelvic bones. This length is good with straight trousers, jeans, skirts and dresses, and with slightly flared ones. It is ideal for creating discreet urban looks.

Long

The lower edge runs in the groin area. As a rule, these jackets are oversized. And they are the ones that are most suitable for skinny trousers and skinny jeans. In general, any “bottoms” that won’t puff up when you button up your jacket will do.

How to make your choice easier?

Answer these questions in order and you will see that choosing the perfect model is not so difficult.

1. Classic style or oversized?
2. If oversized, is it a long or short model? Consider your body type.
3. Black or colored? We study our wardrobe. If there are enough black shoes and bags, then a black jacket will fit in.
4. If colored, what color? Are muted shades predominant in your wardrobe? Then you should also choose a muted jacket.
5. Real leather or artificial leather? Or perhaps an unusual texture. We focus on financial capabilities and desired service life. Leather is more durable.

Cap or hat?

Nobody argues that an open leather jacket without a scarf or hat looks very cool. But how long will it be possible to walk like this if it’s not summer outside? Freezing is not an option. It’s better to choose a stylish headdress and enjoy life.

When it comes to scarves, there are no restrictions. You can casually wrap a large stole right over the jacket, or tie a neckerchief that is so trendy for the 2019-20 season.

And answering the question “hat or hat,” we will say: both. It all depends on the image as a whole. A knitted beanie will look relaxed, a fedora will look elegant, a cap will look fashionable, a baseball cap will look independent, a beret will look cute, a headband and turban will look bohemian. And winter variations of leather jackets (with fur or sheepskin coats) can even be worn with earflaps.

All the colors of the rainbow

Don’t think that only black leather jackets will look stylish. There are a huge number of colored jackets that are just as good.

Red and pink

If you already have a “classic”, take a closer look at the red model or its more delicate pink sister. It is absolutely impossible to go unnoticed in such jackets!
It’s easy to create daring trendy outfits with red, because it’s one of the most fashionable colors season 2019 - 20, and pink just begs to be used in light pastel looks. And she looks great with regular blue jeans.

Blue and light blue

Cool shades of blue are refreshing. With jeans they create a stylish monochrome. And also dark blue color is an alternative to black for those with a low-contrast appearance.

Green and yellow

Bright shades look cheerful and positive, pastels look gentle and cute. But the most luxurious green is deep emerald. It takes any look to another level. And bright yellow is another one fashionable color season 2019-20. If you don’t know what to combine it with, wear it with a black and white check.

Gray and beige

Very neutral, they go equally well with achromats (black, white, shades of gray) and with all colors. They look discreet and noble-stylish.

Shades of brown

Brown is the second classic color for a leather jacket after black, but is visually softer. It looks equally good in leather and suede. Ideal for boho and country style looks. The main thing is not to buy a jacket that matches your hair color, otherwise everything will blend together.
Light shades of brown can be worn with black, but dark chocolate should not be worn – it’s too heavy.

White

It's just some kind of holiday! Seriously, a white jacket is so impressive and elegant that even the most banal set of jeans and a T-shirt becomes stylish with it. And with a little black dress, even for a social reception.

With prints

Yes, leather jackets are not only plain, but also printed. Most often on female models there are images of flowers. There are inscriptions, animalistic and abstract images. Considering latest trends When mixing prints, it is better to wear such a jacket with other prints. Don't be afraid to experiment. You can learn to combine prints. The most simple circuit: your print + stripes in the same color scheme.

With embroidery

Here a lot depends on the nature of the embroidery. But there is one thing universal solution: combine such a thing with stylistically neutral companions. These could be the simplest trousers, a straight skirt, a turtleneck, or a striped top.

With fringe

Fringe always refers to ethnicity and boho. The most important thing here is not to seem to confuse the city streets with the Coachella festival. Therefore, the rule is: no more obviously ethnic things in the image. Maximum - belt buckle and jewelry. The rest should be urban. But if you're actually going to a festival, you can forget about all this.

Total black

Can black monochrome be stylish? Certainly! But remember that things should be relevant, and black does not suit everyone.

Leather jacket plus...

What can you wear with your favorite jacket? Let's see how fashion bloggers do it. You may like their ideas and take them on board.

Skinny jeans

On city streets this is one of the most popular options, despite the fact that this style of jeans is not in trend. But if the rest of the outfit is current, skinnies will look modern. Oversized elongated leather jackets are especially good with them. If this is what you have, balance its combination with skinny jeans bulky shoes. And for shorter jackets, layering looks are worth trying.

And we remind you that ALL styles of jeans, without exception, today have a standard fit at the waist or slightly lower. Not understated, which is a relic of the era of the 2000s. An exception can only be made for those who are physically unable to wear a regular fit. But in this case, it is better to cover the waistband of jeans with tops and sweaters.

Straight Jeans

Cropped straight jeans are very fashionable, so you don’t have to worry too much: just choose modern basic shoes and a bag, a T-shirt or jumper, and you’re ready for a stylish everyday look.

Wide-length jeans

Hot trend style for the 2019-20 season. It is not even available in all stores yet. True, a significant disadvantage is that slush and dirt will inevitably stain your trouser legs. We wear with short and classic biker jackets.

White jeans

Another hot trend autumn-winter season. The style of these jeans can be anything except skinny. White skinnies will look old-fashioned.
Many will say: what about white jeans in the fall? However, in dry weather this is quite possible. Just try it.

Culottes

Denim, wool, whatever. Culottes have already entered the category of urban classics. And above all, these are the most comfortable pants. They go well with boots, and with high ankle boots that go under the trouser legs, and with any boots, and with classic pumps, and with sandals, and with slippers. In winter and autumn they do not get dirty, and in summer they are not hot. What else is needed?
A little secret for those who have difficulty choosing: culottes made of plastic fabric that moves with you and does not stand up best fit any figure.

Trousers

The tips are the same as for jeans. Tight pants We wear it with oversized biker jackets or in layered looks. Palazzo - with short jackets. Any options are possible with straight trousers. Don't forget to pay attention to your shoes and bag. Outdated models can ruin the entire image.

Pleated skirt

If they tell you that pleated clothing is no longer in fashion, don’t believe it. Just look fashion shows to verify the opposite. The number of pleated skirts is impressive. So we wear it with confidence.

Sharp, clear lines embedded in the silhouette are similar to a pleated leather jacket. Such kinship is always a guarantee that the set will work out. Therefore, pleated skirt is an ideal skirt for a leather jacket.

Mini skirt

The autumn-winter season was marked by the return to fashion of minis. Yes, and wearing such a length with tights is psychologically more comfortable than with bare feet. Before the frost hits, it’s worth trying on a mini (for example, in a fashionable check) with a biker jacket. Better with an oversized one. And with shoes without heels.

Straight skirt

Please note that this must be a current model. Narrow “pencils” up to the middle of the knee, in which it was impossible to take a step, have become a thing of the past. You can still find them in stores, but that's no reason to buy an outdated item. Today's skirts are fitted at the waist, midi length and have a relatively loose fit. You can move in them without the risk of tearing at the seams.

Even the simplest classic biker jacket will look good with skirts like this. Well, with an oversized short or long one, you can create a truly fashionable look.

Flowy midi length dress

These can be current floral models or delicate lace ones. Such dresses contrast with a biker jacket and enhance the impression of each other. What’s especially pleasing: you can put on tights and wear the same dress with ankle boots or Cossacks in the fall. It will be a very trendy look.

Slip dress

They've been in fashion for several seasons now, but they're still relevant. The principle of stylistic contrast works great in this case too.

Straight knit dress/sweater dress

Simply irreplaceable during the cold season! The ideal style is semi-fitting. That is, not a bag, but also not tight on the body so that you can’t breathe. There should be a little air between the fabric of the dress and your skin. Glove dresses are good for parties, but for life you need something more comfortable.

This dress can have a high collar, like a turtleneck. But it is important that the collar fits the throat, and does not lie like a limp rag on the shoulders, as cowl collars do.

And a biker jacket would be an ideal pair: its stiffness will add an edge to a soft dress.
If the biker jacket is oversized, then you can even try on a short sweater dress with high boots or over the knee boots. Also semi-adjacent.

Shorts

Now you've imagined torn denim micro shorts with protruding pockets? We have to disappoint you. These are already out of fashion. And even more so in combination with tights. Today's shorts are fitted at the waist, have a loose fit and are approximately mid-thigh or even knee length. Bicycle shorts are also in trend, but it’s better not to wear them with a biker jacket. Let's leave it to Kim Kardashian.

Crop top

Crop – shortened. We wear it exclusively with high-waisted bottoms. In such sets, a small strip of the abdomen will be exposed just above the waist. The second important point is that if your top is narrow, you shouldn’t also hug your legs. Golden Rule a harmonious image says: if it is narrow in one place, it should be voluminous in another. Therefore, no skinny ones.

Knitten things

Large-textured knitted sweaters and cozy voluminous jumpers go perfectly with a biker jacket. True, in order for such things to be worn under a biker jacket, the jacket itself must be loose.

Multi-layering

Some looks using this trendy technique have already been shown above, but you can go even further and combine things that are rarely seen in one look. For example, dress + jeans or trousers. The biker jacket is the thing that will easily fit into such difficult outfits.

Bright trousers

If you are tempted to experiment, but are scared, try starting small: try on trousers with an unusual print with a biker jacket.

Choose a concise one high-quality model and wear it in discreet looks with trendy items.

On women over 40, pretentiousness, abundance of decor, excessively complex romance, and children's prints are not very appropriate.

Significant advantages are not a hindrance to a leather jacket. On the contrary, this magical jacket will visually compose your silhouette and add style to your look. And the problem of “where to buy” is becoming easier to solve, because many mass-market brands have begun to make fashionable clothes large sizes. For example, at Violeta by Mango you can buy leather and suede biker jackets up to size 60, and on the Asos website (Curve and Plus size) – up to 74.

To elongate the silhouette, try to split the image less with horizontals and use more verticals. This is why, by the way, bloggers of all sizes wear their jackets wide open: its hems form vertical lines. If it’s cold to walk like this, choose a “bottom” that matches the jacket or more or less close. For example, you can pair blue, dark green, burgundy, purple trousers and skirts with a black leather jacket. But please don't pair a leather jacket with a skinny jacket. Let it be “cigarette” or straight trouser models.
