Many stylish things come to the ladies' wardrobe from the "male shoulder". And biker jackets are no exception. Roe deer, as they are also called, are an excellent tool for creating a fatal image. Such jackets have not ceased to be a trend for several decades. And therefore, every fashionista should definitely have one or even several models in her arsenal. And we will tell you how to pick up and what to wear a leather biker jacket!
Features
This wardrobe item at one time became a real symbol of free spirit. The absolute boom of biker motorcycle jackets occurred in 1950-1960. Then they finally entrenched themselves in the consciousness of the world community as an attribute of a seasoned and riotous motorcyclist.
They appeared much earlier. For the first time, a jacket-jacket was published in 1928. This was preceded by an innovative offer from workers of the American company Schott, specializing in the tailoring of leather jackets. By the way, the company was founded by the sons of an emigrant from Russia (in 1913). And so, in the 1920s, the use of a zipper on outerwear was first tested there. So the grain was laid for biker jackets, the sewing of which started in 1928.
But until then, motorcyclists dressed completely differently. They wore long double-breasted jackets, hung with large pockets and a massive belt. They supplemented their images with motorcycle gloves with cut off fingers (leggings) and massive boots.
Subsequently, the production of leather jackets began to directly cooperate with the brand Harley-Davidson - the creator of the legendary motorcycle. It was then that it was noticed that the "iron horse" is much more convenient to ride in a short jacket.
The classic leather jacket had three pockets, fake shoulder straps, a convenient adjustable belt and the main “signature” mark - a zipper fastened obliquely from the center.Since then, designers either add or remove some details, but, in general, a biker jacket is recognizable at all times.
Models
In modern fashion, there is a place for authentic jackets, as well as all kinds of variations. The assortment of models is constantly updated with new products. And if we talk about female jackets, then there is complete freedom of variations in length and colors. But let's start the review with a traditional leather jacket, which is equally appropriate for speed lovers and ordinary urban fashionistas. This is a minimalistic black leather jacket. It is equipped with two pockets, a classic oblique zipper, and zippers on the sleeves. Unzipped zippers on the sleeves, which can also be tucked, look especially stylish. In this case, it is better not to fasten the jacket.
There are many models of custom lengths. So, you can meet black jackets, the bottom of which reaches the middle of the thigh. Or even a jackets-coat, like this one.
Shortened models are also relevant today, the bottom of which is located above the navel or slightly elongated - to the upper thigh line.
There are leather jackets not only from different colors, but also made completely in bright prints. For example, floral.
In addition, it is worth noting that designers have long been experimenting with material for jackets. They are produced from combined fabrics (leather and fur, leather and knitwear). More and more biker-style jackets are made of denim, latex or thick woolen fabrics.
Motorcycle jackets, although they do not have oblique zippers, are no less interesting. Their models also delight with a variety of colors. A feature of such “leathers” is the presence of all kinds of stripes with inscriptions and logos on them.
