Similarly, try throwing it over the top of a button-down shirt and tie combination for smart-casual events or dress-down Friday. Utilising classic pieces in unconventional ways is a sure-fire way to make a look your own.

Details are also one of the biggest benefits of a biker jacket. From poppers to zips, mix fashion with function when choosing your perfect style – you’ll easily make use of all the hidden compartments.

Brands to consider for biker jackets this season include AllSaints, Balmain, HE By Mango, Drykorn, ASOS and The Kooples.

The Bomber Jacket

The bomber jacket is often cleaner and more contemporary than the biker, making it a versatile piece that’s perfect for throwing on over all your existing looks.

For SS14, we are seeing a lot of printed versions, especially in florals. Although not to everyone’s taste, a botanical bomber makes an effortless statement and can help take your go-to shorts and t-shirt combinations to the next level.

Other popular patterns include checks, perfect for the classicists, as well as digital camo and animal prints, particularly on trend snakeskin.

For those less used to making such an overt statement, why not consider a style with printed sleeves? By confining the print to a small section of the piece, it becomes easier to integrate into your wardrobe yet will still separate your look from the crowd.

Key lightweight styles include those made from cotton/canvas, as well as technical nylon fabrics. The former, when combined with a neutral hue, will be a piece you continue to reach for year after year, while the latter is great for casual dressers and mixing with other traditional sports luxe apparel.
