Style How-To: Cream Motorcylce Jacket
Yesterday, I received a comment from a reader, Jemi, asking how to wear a recent purchase. She just bought a cream motorcycle jacket, but has no idea how to pair it. She also purchased a gray headband, but isn’t sure if it’s appropriate to wear with a short haircut.

First of all, I’m completely jealous of her cream moto jacket, I’m still on the hunt for a cute leather moto jacket, preferably in brown, but the thought of cream is starting to sound really good to me. If I were the proud owner of such a cute find, I’d would basically wear it with anything, making sure not to go over-the-top biker chick because that isn’t my style.
Here are two different pairings for such a fantastic type of jacket: 1) For a casual day look you could wear it with a basic gray pair of skinny/bootcut jeans and a jewel tone embellished tank to off-set the light jacket. Try a royal purple or dark teal color. 2) For a bit more drama, you could wear a flirty, night-on-the-town dress and sky-high heels. The juxtaposition of a tougher looking motorcycle jacket with an über-girlie dress is just so perfect.
As for the gray headband, I think anyone can wear a headband even if they’re bald. As with most clothing items, if you believe you look good, then you do look good, no one will say anything.
p.s. Cream and gray are neutrals so you can pretty much go wild with color if you want!
