Get into the biker groove

KATIE WRIGHT REVEALS THREE COOL WAYS TO WORK THE BIKER CHIC TREND THIS SPRING

DESIGNERS went hell for leather on the spring/summer 22 runways, with vintage-inspired biker jackets seen at all four international fashion weeks.

There were different takes on the look too – from oversized at Simone Rocha and studded at Richard Quinn to snug, Noughties styles at Diesel and Dior.

Kim Kardashian has been an early adopter of the biker babe look (and we don’t just mean the ‘motorcycle helmet and bikini’ ensemble she recently posted on Instagram), rocking wetlook leather leggings, jumpsuits, coats and co-ords throughout fashion month.

Now the new season is here, you might be wondering: how are such wintry fabrics going to work during warmer weather?

The answer – according to the catwalks – is with a ‘less is more’ approach, styling separates with more summery garments.

Think hints of biker chic tailoring you can mix and match.

Here’s how to rev up your spring/summer style with some key pieces...
