It's official – the vintage motorcycle jacket is having a moment, and we're very much here for it. Padded shoulders, shiny hardware and a whole load of leather have been all the rage for some of our favourite celebrities (we're looking at you Nicola Peltz) and we can't wait to hop on the back of the outerwear trend.
What is the difference between a biker jacket and a motorcycle jacket?
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. Featuring a mandarin collar and a straight zip, the jacket is usually made from different bright colours of leather patched together and also boasts racing insignia
Like all good trends, we look to the world's most stylish names and 'it' girls to see how they're styling the aesthetic for themselves.
Here are just a few ways some of our favourites style their own motorcycle jackets...
With Platform Heels
Motorcycle jackets are an excellent outerwear option on account of their versatility. The options are quite literally endless and are a great way to grunge up a traditionally girly ensemble. Just recently Nicola Peltz donned Victoria Beckham's iconic Dolce and Gabbana number with blue jeans and sky-high heeled boots during Paris Fashion Week.
With Sleek Sunglasses
Nicola was seen once again donning the beloved trend in a recent TikTok shared on her account. This time the model and muse opted for a vintage black option, pairing it with sleek sunglasses and a swooping side part hairdo.
With a Knit Co-ord
If you're planning on channelling a noughties pop princess with a look deeply rooted in nostalgia, look no further than Miss Bella Hadid. The Kin Organics founder is known in the industry for her fashion-forward approach, often seen out and about donning notable trends, some she even pioneers. In this case, Bella paired her black biker jacket with a grey knit co-ord, secretary glasses and black boots.
With Blue Jeans
Queen of the model-off-duty aesthetic Kendall Jenner paired her race-y layer with a pair of blue jeans, a white t-shirt and black boots.
