Trend Alert: Motorcycle Jackets & Maxis

by cheapchica11 on April 20, 2012

Biker and beauty queens’ worlds collide to create this sweet, yet sassy combo– the maxi/moto is a must-try for the transitional season as we head from Winter into Spring.

The key to mastering this popular pairing is all about balance and fit. Choose a form fitting maxi dresses or a high-waisted maxi skirts and go for a cropped leather jacket to help show off your curves and avoid a “boxy” appearance.

The great thing about this look is it’s versatility…you can choose to go casual and carefree with a basic cotton maxi dress and a cropped leather jacket, like Olivia Wilde did here.

For a fun dinner refreshment go for the flirty floral maxi dress you wore to brunch, paired with a spunky leather jacket, similar to Rachel Bilson.

Or if you’re about all out glamour, take a tip from the never-less-than fabulous, Sarah Jessica Parker and pair a fluid pleated maxi skirt with an ornate leather jacket.

Add your own unique touch by adding accessories, whether it be spiked bracelets, long necklaces or even sneakers if you’re feeling playful!

Yeah, I’m really enjoying the motorcycle jackets paired up with pretty dresses.
Might get one this Spring. :)

Mixing masculine and feminine is so much fun in trends like these. I hope this stays around for awhile, except I keep having to where monster heels to keep up with it!
