Why The Biker Jacket Is A Must Have

How long I have waited to forgo jeans and winter boots in favour of a midi skirt and stilettos. The biker jacket paired with feminine piece is one of my signature looks and I simply can’t wait to rock it again this year. Speaking of which, if there is one piece every closet needs to have it’s the biker jacket. Biker jackets are so versatile. They’ve been around for the past few seasons and still going strong. Which is why I would recommend going with a decent one, as it can last for years. I’ve had this one from Zara for a few seasons now and it’s still in great shape.  Continue reading “Why The Biker Jacket Is A Must Have”

Just when I thought it was time to retire my favourite jacket, winter returned with a vengeance. Even today it was snowing. And I know this is going to sound totally crazy – but I wasn’t ready for winter to be over. Like I mentioned before, I completely became one with winter this year. As excited as I am for Spring, I felt like I hadn’t experienced enough of winter. Perhaps having a fun pink faux fur jacket like this one helped.

Staying fashionable in the winter months can be a daunting challenge at times. Especially if you live somewhere that tends to get buried in snow while reaching ridiculously stupid freezing temperatures. While the preference is to hibernate during the winter months unfortunately that is not always feasible. So I’ve opted for a new strategy – layering. Layering clothing items provides not only warmth, but also gives quite a bit of versatility when it comes to styling. It’s a perfect opportunity to combine different fabrics and textures, which is exactly what I did here.

For the base layer I opted for knits; long sleeve top and fitted maxi skirt, worn with a biker jacket and fun printed scarf. For colder temperatures one could easily layer on a maxi cardigan or long coat. Another benefit of layering is the ability to add or remove articles of clothing as required. There is nothing worse than being stuck in one heavy piece in the event you need to transition between interior spaces that have different temperatures (for instance the office I work where one room can be overly hot while other areas are freezing). Stay warm my friends!

And most importantly – Happy Friday!
