Biker fashion chic trend

" Trends begin, they evolve, and then they fade or simply become a standard."  Skinny jeans became a standard, the military fashion trend cannot. So as 2011's fashion trends come to fruition, as we move fully into a new decade, and as military chic becomes as drawn out as the war that inspired it, what becomes of the military influences that have helped keep the likes of Balmain and Burberry . Burberry collection was biker inspired and infused, so much so that the collection is named Heritage Biker.

  
Motorcycle jacket

Motorcycle jacket is the key statement piece for the motorcycle / biker fashion trend. Naturally, not any motorcycle jacket will do. While we undoubtedly will see fast fashion stores give us motorcycle jackets in the now-subdued vein of the 'Brando jacket', the motorcycle jacket in 2011 needs to be much more of a statement piece.

 The biker chic trend is about more than Brando jackets styles and the common black motorcycle jackets . That doesn't mean that the trend is completely devoid of both styles. Take Balmain's, pre-spring 2011offering for instance: it's a motorcycle jacket that is somewhat military-Brando style .

Some other styles of the modern 2011 leather jacket are ...
