Fashion Tips for Bikers.

Want to update your fashion for the winter months ahead? Then wrap up in the wonderful feel of leather. This year look to the fashion houses for clean, classic designs done in leather; they will range from classic to hip to rugged motorcycle apparel, Harley clothing, biker apparel and everything in between. With this pliable material, different textures and finishes also have a role in being in front of the trend this season. So follow the hip tips below.

Sunglasses. I know this is not the usual place for the trend to start, but it will absolutely be the most noticed! Grab a great pair of motorcycle glasses with a touch of leather in the frame; this is a glamorous and subtly way to wear leather. To really stand out, make sure the dark lenses are dark brown or smoky gray. It is also cool because it works great for men or women.

Pants and chaps. What is more timeless than a pair of jeans of faded blue for the fall? How about making those pants leather! Shop around for a basic pair of
biker leathers in any color. My pick is a dark black or gray leather pants and contrasting chaps, worn with a white biker t-shirt, tank top, or sleeveless denim shirt. Can anyone say bad biker lol?

Boots. With out a doubt the most important item you can buy for motorcycle riding is a good pair of boots. The biker's boots are worn 1st and foremost for safety reasons. This doesn't mean that they can't be good looking as well. Motorcycle boots some in several styles and colors and a pair of
Harley Davidson boots is always a good bet.

Jackets. If you don't want to pull out the winter coat yet, then try an updated bikers jacket. My favorite for the season is a
leather motorcycle jacket in black or brown. This jacket offers the best with the coolness of a bomber jacket and the preppy allure of a sport coat all in one. Another perk is this jacket can be thrown on with any outfit and make you look instantly cool.

Accessories. For the people who live in the city, the daypack is nothing new. Try it in a simple shade with plenty of pockets. The basic look of the bag is cool and will work well no matter where you go. For the jewelry lovers out there, a Titanium bracelet and a nice watch gives a uniquely artistic and bohemian feel to any ensemble.

As with all things, practice makes perfect, so be bold in some new shades of leather that you may have never worn before, and tone down some bright colors with darker ones. As always, good luck and happy shopping! And don’t forget to always make your own wake!!
