Many stylish things come to the ladies' wardrobe with a "male shoulder." And biker jackets are no exception. Kosuhs, as they are called, serve as an excellent tool for creating a fatal image. Such jackets do not cease to be a trend for several decades. That is why each fashionista should definitely have one or even several models in her arsenal. And we will tell you how to choose and with what to wear a leather biker jacket!
Features
This piece of clothing in his time became a real symbol of the free spirit. The absolute boom of biker motorcycle jackets came in the years 1950-1960. Then they finally entrenched themselves in the minds of the world community as an attribute of a seasoned and loose biker.
They appeared much earlier. For the first time jacket-jacket was released in 1928. This was preceded by an innovative proposal from the workers of the American company Schott, specializing in sewing leather jackets. By the way, the company was founded by the sons of an emigrant from Russia (in 1913). And so, in the 1920s, the use of a zipper on outerwear was first tried there. So it was laid grain for biker jackets, sewing which started in 1928.
But until then, motorcyclists dressed very differently. They wore long double-breasted jackets hung with large pockets and a massive belt. They supplemented their images with motorcycle gloves with cut fingers (leggings) and massive boots.
Subsequently, the production of leather jackets began to work directly with the brand Harley-Davidson - the creator of the legendary motorcycle. It was then that it was noticed that it was much more convenient to ride a short jacket on an “iron horse”.
The classic leather jacket had three pockets, fake shoulder straps, a comfortable adjustable belt and the main “trademark” sign - a zipper, offset from the center of the diagonal. Since then, the designers have added, then abolished some of the details, but, in general, the biker jacket is recognizable at all times.
Models
In modern fashion, there is a place for both authentic jackets, and all sorts of variations. The range of models is constantly updated with new items. And if we talk about women's leather jackets, then there is complete freedom of variations in length and colors. But let's start the review with a traditional leather jacket, which is equally relevant for both speed lovers and ordinary urban fashionistas. This is a minimalistic black leather jacket. It is equipped with two pockets, classic oblique zipper-fastener and zippers on the sleeves. Particularly stylish look unbuttoned zippers on the sleeves, which can also be tucked. In this case, the jacket is better not to button.
There are many models of non-standard length. So, you can find leather jackets, the bottom of which comes to the middle of the thigh. Or at all kosukhi-tails, like this one.
Shortened models are also relevant today, the bottom of which is located above the navel or slightly elongated - up to the upper line of the hips.
There are leather leather jackets not only from different colors, but also made entirely in bright prints. For example, floral.
In addition, it is worth noting that designers have long been experimenting with the material for leather jackets. They are produced from combined fabrics (leather and fur, leather and knitwear). Increasingly, biker-style jackets made of denim, latex or thick wool fabrics.
Motocoats, although they do not have oblique lightning, are no less interesting. Their models also delight the variety of colors. The peculiarity of such "leathers" is worth noting the presence of various stripes with inscriptions and logos.
