Biker jackets evoke imagery of black leather, hard edges, and sharp studs. But you don’t have to go over the edge to look sharp in a biker jacket. The keys to wearing a biker jacket elegantly are twofold: (1) pick the right jacket (sleek, minimal), and (2) dress up the rest of the look with sophisticated pieces with chic details. Here’s how to wear a biker jacket elegantly:
1. Start with a simple, sophisticated base: grey cords (or grey jeans) and a tie-neck knit top. We love the mix of muted colors between these two pieces.
2. Layer on the elegant biker jacket. Note the subtle cream color, the slim fit, and the understated detailing.
3. Finish off the look with standout accessories: a pair of tall grey boots to tuck your grey cords into (the combo creates a long, lean look) and a cheery bright yellow clutch for a burst of color.

What’s the key to wearing brightly colored pants? Pair them with a top in a complementary color - and then fill out the rest of the outfit with neutrals. That way, you build the outfit around the pants and work them seamlessly into your look. Here’s how to wear brightly colored pants:
1. Start with a pair of brightly colored pants. We chose a pair of mustard cords to build the look around.
2. Choose a top in a complementary color. This lace trim camisole in dusty blue pairs beautifully with the mustard cords.
3. Finish off the outfit with neutral pieces and accessories: a cream colored turtleneck cardigan (which also adds texture), and a buckled handbag and flat boots in shades of brown.

We asked: Would you wear Motorcycle Jackets?
You said: Yes to Motorcycle Jackets, with a 81% to 19% vote.
Style tip? Motorcycle Jackets are fun and edgy - and they’re the perfect item to pair with anything from a summer sundress to a white tee and jeans. However, the traditional black leather motorcycle jacket isn’t the only style available these days. We love the motorcycle jacket silhouette in other fabrics, patterns, and colors. Case in point? This versatile plaid motorcycle jacket, which gives you two key Fall trends in one.
Next question: Shaggy, faux fur vests are a hot layering piece for Fall, as they add a burst of texture to your look. But what do you think? Tell us, would you wear a Faux Fur Vest? Cast your vote on the sidebar!
