Biker Gilets- the no.1 jacket this summer

Love your biker jacket? Don't want to lose it to the sunny weather? Well that's ok because a new jacket has hit the shops and will be a big hit this season: Biker Gilets

Now, I love a biker jacket (hence the previous posts that include pastel biker jackets and patterned biker jackets) but if it's warm enough this summer I might have to give mine up which I why I love this new trend so much.

Variety of biker gilet styles

Don't know what a gilet is? It's a French word for a jacket with no sleeves, the perfect type for summer when it's too warm for a full on jacket but to cold to go without one. The best thing about gilets is they can still be quite warm but the get the cool of having bare arms; goodbye sweaty arms! Biker Gilets can go with almost any item of clothing, even one with sleeves, but I think in the summer they work best with a floaty/baggy top, a playsuit (no jumpsuits it's too warm!) or a dress (if you're feeling especially summery
.
They have been spotted everywhere in the fashion world from catwalks to various celebrities and are proving to be very popular. They come in a variety of different colours and patterns, from black leather, brown leather, cream leather, basic denim, bleached denim, distressed denim, denim with studs, bright white and a variety of pastel colours. No patterns as of yet but keep your eyes peeled as I predict they will be appearing in shops very soon.

Printed biker jackets- another hit this summer

With printed biker jackets being spotted on celebs and appearing in high street shops they are predicted to be a hit this summer

Yeah, yeah, I know I just posted about pastel coloured biker jackets (http://elizaxfashion.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/pastel-biker-jackets-predicted-to-be.html) but I new trend has been spotted to go along side the pastel bikers; printed biker jackets. Lots of funky designs are already being sold in high street shops so invest in one soon!

Floral and grungy printed bikers

So why are biker jackets so popular this season? I'm not sure the full answer to this question but it must be something to do with the fact we live in England (not much chance of sun) and also the shape of the biker jacket. I mean, I'm pretty sure we're not all just about to hop onto a motorbike. Am I right?
The biker jacket has a unique shape that's clipped in at the waist and has a fashionable collar. They are also very comfortable and can be worn with almost any outfit and with sunny weather not guaranteed it's the perfect backup jacket. If you don't already own one I strongly suggest going out to buy one as they look beautiful on any shape girl and can be worked into almost any outfit, they're also right on trend ;).
