There are few styles on the planet that are timeless. Denim jeans. The color black. Well fitted suits. Sometimes a fashion style is just so iconic and beautiful that it will always be on trend. And it is only natural for us to want to emulate those looks. One of my favorite timeless looks is motorcycle chic. Because there is nothing more sexy and stylish than someone riding a motorcycle in full gear.
Motorcycle chic isn’t just about wearing motorcycle gear. But that is a big part of it. It is also about the aesthetics of your outfit under the safety equipment. Your accessories and how you carry yourself. And, of course, the style of your bike! Today we are going to be showing you how to get that trendy biker look you’ve always wanted!
Hair Maintenance
This section is only important if you own and ride a motorcycle. Wearing a helmet while riding is a complete non-negotiable. No matter how experienced you are, you should always wear your helmet. With that out of the way we can focus on one of the main issues you’ll face in regards to your helmet. And that is helmet hair.
Having your hair compressed into such a confined space for long periods of time is naturally going to leave it looking less than stylish. And sweat will make it look oily and wet. So you need to practice proper hair maintenance to ensure your hair is going to be looking healthy and fashionable at all times.
One of the best solutions is to consider going with a shorter hairdo. Something close to the head. But if you want to keep your hair long you should consider adding products such as gel or wax to your hair to help it maintain its shape while under the helmet. You should try to only use hair products that work for your hair type as well.
Finding The Right Jacket
The lynchpin of any good biker look is, of course, the jacket. A biker jacket is the item that pulls the look together. It lets people know what look you are going for and does it to a startling effect. But not all biker jackets are made equally. Often you see a lot of jackets that prioritize safety over fashion. And this is perfectly fine for people who are riding a lot.
But if you want a more stylish jacket then there are a few things to consider. The most obvious choice is to get anything from the MotoGp collection. The Motorcycle Grand Prix is the biggest spectacle in the biking world. Where all the most talented riders come to show off their skills. And their sponsors too. A jacket from the MotoGp collection is the perfect way for you to show off your support for your favorite cyclist while also boosting your style.
Both the official MotoGP website and many secondary stores have the Motogp collections available. You should take some time to research the validity of any secondary sellers to ensure they aren’t selling knock-off products. But, on average, most sites offer the real thing.
Accessories
When we discuss accessories there are two types to consider. Accessories for your bike and biker apparel. And general fashion accessories. We shall look at bike accessories to start. Your bike will play a large part in pulling together your outfit. So you want to ensure it is kitted out in such a way that it will complement your look. Personalized decals that show off your interests are a great place to start. Or a customized wrap to really make it stand out.
You should consider accessorizing your motorcycle jacket and helmet with personalized items too. There are thousands of amazing patches that can be sewn onto your jacket to make it stand out from the crowd and make it uniquely yours. And, if you’re going to put a wrap on your bike, you could put a wrap on your helmet to make it match.
Now let us turn our attention to fashion accessories. Because even without a biker jacket and helmet on, you still want to capture that distinct biker look. Metal chains or studs are a great place to start. If you are rocking leather trousers then a chain hanging around the pocket or across your waist will look amazing. Studded boots are also extremely chic at the moment.
Rings are also a huge part of the biker look. Something elegant and simple is preferred over anything too flashy. Try to avoid rings with gems in them. Opt instead for signet rings or silver bands. If rings aren’t your thing then you could go for a necklace instead. You will want something that isn’t too overstated. Again avoiding jewels where possible.
