Leather Biker Jackets - Take a Classic Look to a Whole New Level

Dare you enter the wonderful world of the leather biker jacket? It doesn't matter if you've never been on a motorbike. Or wouldn't touch one with the proverbial barge pole. Leather biking jackets are massive this season, as they were last season, and also the trend shows no sign of slowing. Aside from anything else they're a classic. The motorbike jacket has graced the backs of big hairy bikers since motorbikes were invented and they're not going anywhere. And yours will last a lifetime.

You see the craziest clothes on the catwalk. Many are unwearable. Some are totally ridiculous. But the good things is, they provide inspiration for high street designers, who often tone things down just a little for public consumption. So today's leather biker jacket is a completely different animal from the original black version. You are able to still obtain a black jacket in leather that's so sturdy it's nearly a centimetre thick. But there's high fashion versions too, some within the most wonderfully soft and supple speciality leathers which are a true joy to wear, even against bare skin if you dare!

Go for Amy Winehouse styling with a seriously cropped, sexy leather biker jacket in black. There is the high-collared jacket worn by Sienna Miller. Vanessa Hudgens caused a stir in her own wonderfully worn and distressed version. Katie Holmes has been spotted sporting a gorgeous rich tan biker jacket. Lindsey Lohan loves her chunky black leather classic. And celebs of all kinds have been seen wearing their biker jackets with the sleeves rolled up Don Johnson style... a familiar sight if you're able to remember as far back as the 80s!

Take a tour of the internet and you'll discover fitted or semi-fitted versions. Distressed and usually knackered jackets are incredibly popular. Vintage jackets are great, but can cost a bomb. Actually anything goes. Your normal staple colours are still high fashion, with classic black leather a long lasting favourite. But if you're sick and tired of being safe and determined to make a real impression, vivid colour is just the thing, taking the bog standard biker jacket right into a fresh new dimension. Select from bright scarlet - brilliant with this season's bright red lipstick - and rich, deep burgundy, thrilling tones of royal blue and deep purple. And blokes can do colour too. As well as black, grey, navy, white and cream there's tan, red, green and much more colour ways, all made to give your look a boost and help you stand out from the madding crowd.
