Clothing essentials for a biker look

Recently, David Beckham revived the biker style by strolling down the street in leather pants, leather jacket and white T-shirt. In general, the combination of a leather jacket and a white t-shirt is a very elegant and, above all, trendy solution. However, if you’re not looking to be “trendy”, but rather to embody the image of a typical biker: a virile man, in a leather jacket, with a bandana, tattoos and riding a Harley Davidson, then a good old flannel plaid shirt is a must. 🕶
Before we look in detail at each of the clothing essentials for biker style, don’t forget that sleek, well-ironed, spotless clothes aren’t worthy of a real bad boy. Real bikers prefer clothes that are worn, scuffed, torn and repaired. Each garment thus has its own story.

1) The Jacket (Leather or Jeans)

As a general rule, to give the impression of a badass riding his motorcycle, a jacket (often leather) is essential. It’s the central pillar of biker style. 🏍 First of all, a jacket can determine your look and silhouette. A good jacket, if it fits well, improves your look and enhances your build, whether you’re slim or beefier. For a chic, elegant look, we recommend a genuine leather jacket.
The advantage of leather is that it’s hygienic, abrasion-resistant, looks better than any artificial substitute and can withstand the elements. No synthetic leather can compete with temperature changes or withstand a harsh winter, for example. It risks cracking at the worst possible moment. And our priority is to keep you safe on the road. 🛡

The most popular choice for a biker look is a black leather jacket. It can feature silver zippers and small shoulder pads to further accentuate the build, for example.

Leather jackets are often adorned with badges representing the emblem of a biker club. This style is widespread in the USA, and motorcycle jacket designers draw a great deal of inspiration from it. We’ve selected some of our finest skull and crossbones jackets, perfect for getting on your bike. Discover them by simply clicking on the image below.

You can also opt for a denim jacket. 👕 It’s less expensive, but can also make you look cool. We’re talking biker-street style here, putting safety aside. Slip on a white t-shirt, throw your denim jacket over it, and you’re done! It’s one of the timeless classics of the biker-inspired look.

2) Pants (Leather or Jeans)

What’s the point of a flawless top if the bottom doesn’t follow? It’s impossible to discuss the biker look without mentioning the pants. Let’s get right to it!
If you’re looking for total authenticity, you can try leather pants. Just by looking at them, they’re already devilishly cool. If you’re a biker yourself, they’re also great to wear while riding, as there’s no friction with your bike’s seat. If you’re thinking of buying leather pants, make sure they’re a little looser and a little thicker at the knees, for real comfort and protection.

If leather pants seem “too much” for you, there’s always a good alternative: simple jeans. 👖 A perfect solution for biker-street style! Don’t forget, though, that skinny jeans are reserved for hipsters and thugs. Real bikers wear loose, straight jeans, more practical for those long hours on the bike. The Levi’s Strauss brand has reigned supreme in the denim world for decades.

3) Shoes

Like the jacket, boots are an essential element in completing a head-to-toe biker look. They may seem like a minor detail, but the slightest faux pas can ruin the whole image. Have you ever seen a biker wearing moccasins or sneakers? The badass community laughs at such a “clown”. That’s why choosing the right footwear must be done with care. A solid pair of leather boots with a thick sole is exactly what you need. 🥾
Don’t forget that biker shoes aren’t just for fashion, they also need to be functional, support your ankles and protect your feet so you can ride with confidence.

Biker Jewelry (Rings and Bracelets)

For a biker, a ring, bracelet or chain aren’t just jewelry. They’re symbols of freedom and independence. Being a biker is above all a philosophy of life. It’s about refusing to conform and never worrying about the way others look at you. Let’s see how jewelry expresses this ideology. 🤙🏻
There’s no doubt that a biker worthy of the name wears a skull ring. It embodies boldness in the face of danger and death. In fact, we recently explained why bikers love skulls.

According to an ancient legend, when death approaches, it leaves its mark, a skull-shaped imprint. But if a person is already wearing this distinctive sign, it means that death has already passed through and been defeated. So skull-shaped rings are also a kind of amulet, a way of prolonging life for a biker. ⏳

Leather and steel bracelets are the most popular jewelry items for motorcycle fans, after skull rings. An accessory such as a skull and crossbones bracelet perfectly complements the badass image sought by a biker. Celtic and Gothic motifs, skulls and animal heads are the main themes for bracelets. Among the most common animals are dragons, lions, tigers, bears and eagles. They symbolize strength, boldness and rebellion. 🔱
