Beautiful Biker Babe: What’s in Her Closet?

If you’re anything like me and enjoy kicking off the flats and switching things up a bit, perhaps it’s time you try out the beautiful, biker babe look. I’m not saying you have to get inked up or join a bike club or anything like that, but maybe the sound of landing a bad boy doesn’t sound too bad after all.

Whether you’re interested in upcycling some vintage wear or looking to upgrade your wardrobe with some edgy attire, I think one thing is for certain: this is going to be a whole lot of fun, and you just may score a ride around the block on his chopper! Hey, the sun dress will still be there when we get back.

Whole ‘Lotta Leather

First and foremost, you’ll need a leather jacket. Prices vary greatly, and it’s important you find one that is high quality and fashionable, though you don’t have to wreck your purse. If there’s one item you don’t want to mess up, it’s going to be the jacket. What’s a biker babe without a beautiful jacket?

Web retailers have the most vast selection of biker jackets like the 600 plus motorcycle jackets from BikeBandit.com and all your favorite brands as well. Black is pretty standard for most biker men, but we have the freedom to select stylish faux leather jackets in different colors to stand out or better match the rest of our outfit. Just don’t go too crazy, or you might end up looking like Prince in Purple Rain.

Darn Good Denim

Whether it’s a button up or hip-hugging jeans with a little wear and tear, denim can really make or break the look. If you’re into thrifting or crafting you can even make your own denim vest. Round up some patches that speak to your personality and get artsy. The best part about quality denim is that it never goes out of style.

You can keep the vest clean and chic or give it a little bite with some studs and choice frays. Just make sure you don’t wear all denim; there’s a fine line between square dancing and jockey shifting.

These Boots Were Made For Riding

Boots are critical for anyone who sets foot on a motorcycle. We need to find some boots that keep us safe on the road but also make our mark when we walk into the room. Nothing is less attractive than a woman in work boots clomping around a party, restaurant or bar. So let’s find a happy medium, as has been the goal with the rest of our biker wardrobe. There is a wide variety of fun, leather shoes that can double as motorcycle boots out there. I’m quite fond of some from Harley-Davidson or Beistaff, which ride up your calf a bit but protect your leg and look pretty great with the jeans tucked in. Fiorentini + Baker and Dorothy Perkins offer some heavier but shorter options which rise just above the ankle. They’re perfect for mixing and matching with many other outfits.

Work with what you’ve got. This doesn’t have to be an excuse to start from ground zero, though you deserve a shopping spree if you want one. A beautiful biker babe is more about character than anything else. Clean out the closet. Revamp the pants you thought you couldn’t resurrect, retrieve that bandana and break out the dark polish. Even though you’re really an inner socialite, you’ll have everyone convinced you parked your hog out back.
