“Moto” Style - Get The Look
Our favorite way to find new inspiration when it comes to personal style is to observe. Yes, observe and what better place to observe than the streets? More specifically, the streets when fashion week comes around to play. Influencers, stylists, models and celebrities flood the streets and the catwalk to give us the new season styles and offer us a literal buffet of inspiration to update our look and our closets.
Step aside Y2K style and Ballet Core and let us introduce you to our new infatuation: moto style. What is moto style exactly? Well, we like to describe it as Harley Davidson meets high fashion and it’s more accessible to style than you may think. So, how can you recreate this look on your own? We have some suggestions and styling tips we think you can appreciate and by the end of this article you’re going to be sold on the fashion’s newest trend.
The core to this trend? Leather. Incorporating the classic motorcycle leather jacket into your look is key. The oversized silhouette is the guiding piece to mastering moto style and by simply adding this biker jacket to your outfit can instantly align you with this trend that is here to stay. Jackets with racing stripes, the Harley Davidson logo and race car logo patches are some of the styles that we’ve seen on street style display. It’s a nice balance of sporty and grunge but there’s a lot of room to incorporate your own personal flair and style.
We’re also a fan of leather pants when it comes to mastering this look. Preferably, a straight leather pant with a mid-rise should do the trick but we also suggest a leather legging or if you’re feeling bold adding some leather chaps over your favorite distressed denim paired with some combat boots to really elevate your biker style. With anything and any trend, it’s great to have some balance and of course, everything in moderation. Think, leather pants (or chaps) but paired with a classic distressed t-shirt or your favorite vintage band tee and layered with simple silver accessories like necklaces and simple hoops.
What we love about this trend is the boldness of it. It’s a fearless fashion statement that doesn’t have to revolve around oversized leather jackets and matching leather pants but the subtle details as well. Layer on moto inspired accessories to your own personal style and you can easily achieve this look. We really like to keep the bold factor and incorporate it using accessories like sunglasses. Bold framed shades in edgy colors like red, purple and even neon green in the wraparound style are on our mood boards as well as edgy statement necklaces in sterling silver. We also like the idea of adding a pair of leather gloves to really seal the deal on our biker look.
So, feeling inspired to check out this trend for yourself? Let us know what you think of the biker look and how you plan to personalize it in your own way. And of course, happy shopping ;).
