Wardrobe Staples – The Moto Jacket (& Link Up)

It’s time for the next installment of my wardrobe staples series and this time around, let’s talk about the moto jacket.  Once an iconic symbol of rebellion, the moto jacket is a mainstream wardrobe basic now, but it still packs a bit of an edgy punch.

I remember my first moto jacket; it was faux leather, black with brass rivets and zippers.  My friends at the time told me silver was cooler, but I wanted the brass to match my golden hair and my little gold Fiero! Anyway, flash forward a million years (oh okay, like 30) and a moto jacket is still a wardrobe staple and something I don’t think I’ve actually ever NOT had in my wardrobe since that first one so long ago.

I have several motos in my wardrobe right now, but my absolute favorite is this Rosa Biker Jacket from Topshop (at Nordstrom). For a very affordable price, it looks and feels expensive!

Motos are super versatile and will add a touch of edge to any look.  I really can’t think of anything that a moto wouldn’t look good with …. jeans and sneakers, check … a pretty dress, check …. trousers, check …well you get the idea!!

Here’s a look back at a few of my moto jacket looks in the blog:

From last week’s link up:

Wardrobe stylist, Kathrine Eldridge,  is rocking the moto jacket with this cool casual OOTD.

So, what do you think, Dolls?  Is a moto jacket a wardrobe must have or no?  Do you prefer your moto in basic black leather. or something else?  Can you think of anything a moto wouldn’t look chic with? No really, I’m curious ….!! Can you?  Leave me a comment!

Want to see what else I’ve deemed a “wardrobe basic” …?  You can navigate to all the posts from the menu on the top bar.
