Biker Chique
2011 fashion trends are combining lovely feminine colors with boldly dramatic motorcycle related accents. The military style influences of the last few years have evolved. Enter Biker Chique.
I am seeing black leather in vests and bags, big chunky boots with fun accents, and belts with studs and rivets. Zippers are making a statement as fashion accents and quilted fabrics are new again.
This is not the grungy motorcycle look of a previous decade but a more sophisticated way to express your fashion. You don’t have to be a Biker Chick to be Biker Chique.
Your motorcycle jacket doesn’t have to be made of black leather. Be adventurous with style in a tan organic cotton twill motorcycle inspired jacket like this one designed by Reifhous.
Forget about the black leather pants. You can rock these handcrafted black leggings with your kitten heels.
The leggings are available at Duende74 . They are made to order so you can choose whether to have the detailing on the back or the side of the ankle.

A great way to incorporate biker style into your wardrobe is through the use of accessories.
I fell in love with this rich chocolate brown holster bag. It is called the Peacemaker and is available from the designer, MadCapClothing.
Or warm your hands with biker style on those cool Summer evenings with these lacy fingerless gloves available from ZenandCoffee.
Don’t forget the jewelry. This hammered cuff by Colla could grace the arm of the fiercest biker fashion.

This silver chainmaille bracelet with black and red crystals by Galadryl will add some glam to your black leather.
So what do you think readers? Is Biker Chique in your future?

Way cool, Bonnie.
Though I admire a woman who can pull this off, it is not a look I would wear. On the other hand I would wear the jewelry.
I think this is a great look for some people, but I can't see myself tooling around town looking like that. I think you'd have to either be tall or tiny, and I'm neither! but I love the jewelry.
Love this look, fabulous examples - those boots are super cool!
This is not really my style, but if you can pull it off, go for it. It actually manages to look femine but tough.
Cool look, love the holster bag, many moons ago I was a biker but I have to admit I never looked that cool :), thx for including my bracelet as an example.
That's really cool and very interesting!
Not sure I could pull off the look of the clothes, even though I they're way cool. I would wear those fingerless gloves with some rocker bling on the fingers and wrist, though! And of course the jewelry... >:>
I wouldn't wear it all at once either but can't you just see that jacket with a pair of skinny jeans and the peacekeeper bag on your hip? That I would do in a heartbeat!
Well, maybe in an earlier lifetime...I am not in search of cool anymore...comfort is my motivator and I would be comfortable wearing the jewelry you have featured.
Cool clothing and jewellery picks Bonnie!
I'm not really into big clunky boots, but I could totally get into the jacket, the leggings and that hip bag. The jewelery is fabulous and would look great with anything!
Great post, Bonnie!
Ups, I'm only seeing this post now. Very cool. I would wear everything, probably not together, but i like it all.. Thanks Bonnie for including my bracelet> :)
