Short MC jackets: They actually go with a lot!

Whether or not these are going to be the next big thing I have no idea, so, unlike some fashion writers, I won’t pretend to be psychic.
I couldn’t resist the idea of wanting to wear something sexy and leather, though, once I read the latest Nylon magazine, a music issue with features on rock star style featuring everyone from Billy Idol to 80’s metal girl band Vixen. Seriously, how could I be in the mood to do anything else right now?

So… now I’m fixated on short MC jackets. Since they’re tough looking pieces in and of themselves thanks to all the zips and metal accents, I find that they look best matched with girlie pieces like dresses rather than one’s standby dress-up jeans.

Here are a few I found on the web:
Red biker, (also comes in white and black) Angry Young and Poor, $100 with free shipping


Side lace crop biker, Jamin' Leather, $89

D&G Dolce & Gabbana, eluxury.com, $1,985

Distressed cycle jacket, Wilson's Leather, $100
