Motocross jackets are having a moment and according to Maya Jama, they are here to stay. The leather outerwear piece has resurfaced as the It-girl item of the season, so naturally, the Love Island host is championing the biker babe trend.

The 28-year-old snapped a candid mirror selfie in an olive green motocross jacket featuring black racer panels a vintage finish, a zipped-up design, a cropped silhouette and a press-stud fastened mock neck. The ensemble added to the star's endless array of must-see outfits, which you can see in the clip below...

Maya coolly paired the on-trend garment with an uber-cropped semi-sheer top, which showcased a beige backdrop and a henna-esque chocolate print.

Topping off her cool-girl aesthetic, Maya wore her raven hair slicked back into a ponytail and accessorised with some blacked-out rave shades that exuded Matrix mystique.

As she posed for the photo, she clasped her cascading locks in one hand, revealing a peek of her fresh nude manicure that Hailey Bieber herself would be proud of.

Maya took to social media to share the host of images, captioning the playful post with a kissing emoji.

Fans flocked to her comment section to coo over her endless style archive. "Just perfect," one wrote while another said: "This is the Maya we all know and love." A third commented: "Dream," and a fourth mentioned: "Stunning."

Unlike 'biker' jackets which are traditionally black and feature lapel collars and fringing, the moto jacket is built for warmth and durability rather than style. Typically featuring a wraparound collar and a straight zip, the jacket is usually made from different bright colours of leather patched together and also boasts racing insignia.

It's been a whirlwind start to the year for Maya, who swiftly became the newest It-girl on the block after making waves as Love Island's new bombshell presenter. Sunning it up after the season wrapped last week, the presenter made the most of warmer climes in South Africa, sharing a sun-soaked snap in a geometric print bikini on her Instagram on Sunday. Maya looked incredible in the makeup-free selfie, showing off her golden glow as she shaded her face from the sun with her hands.
