The red biker jacket is an old fashion story we all want to return to from time to time. It’s such a statement piece and so versatile – not because you wear it very often but because of the easy glam factor it adds to the widest range of looks.
The secret key piece: snake boots
First of all, The Boots. Lately I’ve been crazier for ankle boots than ever before and it’s no wonder. I guess I’m learning to wear them with skirts or dresses and I must report they actually work. I have the Snape boots from Kurt Geiger to thank for that discovery. Before getting them, I had spent quite some time searching for the perfect rich brown leather snake print boots and these came out the clear winners.
If you’re hesitating about giving this style a go I can only encourage you to get your hands on them in the sale or wherever else you can. These booties are very smart but neutral so won’t look out of place with a casual outfit. The reason I got them though, was not to wear with casual looks. It was to jazz up the plain or boring kind of office-wear, and these are absolutely amazing. I mean, Magnificus Totalus.
Two kinds of basics: the pencil skirt and the rock tee
Next, everyone has a black pencil skirt, I guess. Some have several, either from school or work, or as a result of some weird shopping moment when it seemed a bright idea. I have a few myself, I hardly wear them but when I do I realise it is indeed a fashion pro basic item. If you don’t own any, I suggest you get one.
Finally, the item you also see in this outfit is something I love and wear a lot. It’s new or vintage rock band tees, preferably shouting loud about some of my favourite music… Yes, I’m one of those girls who will hunt for the best band tees. Not all, mind you – just the ones I’m happy to promote with all my heart. Here, for example, you can see me in a vintage Rush tee (from the Hemispheres tour, with the brains motif) I got from eBay – I love that it’s white on black with the red logo popping out. Maybe I should wear it more often 🙂
