Last year, we saw biker jackets, AKA racer jackets, take the lead in the race for the hottest trend of the year. From Kendall Jenner to Bella Hadid, these jackets were a statement piece over every outfit. Not to mention, they were spotted all over Copenhagen Fashion Week. After switching gears, moto jackets are cruising their way back to the top in 2024, with brands like Topshop, Ego and PrettyLittleThing putting their own stamp on the sporty style. The prices won't make your bank balance crash and burn either!
Although, if you're wanting in on the trend, you better put your pedal to the metal, because these high street hits won't be around for long. If you get our drift? What are you waiting for? Go go go!

What is a biker jacket?
Biker jackets are also known as 'racer jackets' or 'racing jackets'. They take their design from the motocross jackets you may have seen (not only all over the high street) but at racing events, as well as on the road.
How to style the best racer jackets?
All-black: You could wear an all-black outfit unitard or bodysuit underneath. Accessorise with rings and black nails for a little bit of edge. Style with a pair of chunky lace-up boots.
Minimalist chic: Kendall Jenner has been seen sporting hers with a white tee and denim jeans for a chic take on the trend. She wore black ankle boots and black sunglasses to match. Kendall had her down in relaxed waves for that natural windswept look.
Biker babe: If you want to go all-out biker, leather leggings could be a look. Bella Hadid wore her motocross jacket with black leather trousers. She's also worn them in the past with a pair of white denim shorts and a pair of UGG boots. Which you wouldn't think would work, but trust us, looks surprisingly good.
Retro icon: If you're after a vintage twist, Lana Del Rey is one to look at for inspiration. She's been a fan of vintage racing jackets for years. She usually styles hers with blue jeans. But, she's also been spotted wearing one over a dress and heels. LDR accessorise with huge chunky gold hoops and a backward baseball cap.
