The biker jacket

✢ This all-season piece delivers a little bit of rock ’n’ roll cool to a prim, longer-length dress.

✢ Slim enough for a coat or gilet to be layered over, just add a longer length knit underneath for winter temperatures. ✢ Choose brands that are great for leather – Reiss, All Saints and Massimo Dutti are the go-to labels on the high street for biker jackets.
