#WeTheCurvy: 1 biker jacket, 3 ways
Cooler temperatures mean you can finally break out your fall favourites—and there’s nothing hotter than a moto jacket. Our #WeTheCurvy columnist, Meredith Shaw, shows us just how versatile the biker-inspired topper is.
When it comes to our purchasing habits, sometimes we buy for how the item makes us look (hello, Jimmy Choos!) and, other times, for how it makes us feel (we’re looking at you, Lululemon leggings). It’s rare to find a garment that ticks off both boxes, but a few exist. Enter the moto jacket. Slung over shoulders, it imparts strength, style and a pinch of danger. The message? I’m fabulous, I’m stylish and you don’t want to mess with me…. Or maybe you do!
The BIKER JACKET
We adore this lightweight faux-leather moto topper from Le Château (sizes XXS to XXL) because it’s something you can wear indoors and out. Its bright colour is like the cherry on top of your outfit. Faux-leather jacket, $120, lechateau.com.
Weekend
Two weekend guidelines I live by are “It can’t be complicated” and “It has to be comfortable.” A biker jacket fits right in but lends structure to your casual look. Plus, it’s the perfect layering piece for chilly mornings when walking the dog or heading to brunch.
Sweater, $69, additionelle.com. Jeans, $142, nydj.com. Earrings, anntaylor.com. Roxy Earle x Le Château Shoes, lechateau.com.
Work
Think of the moto as a blazer with a dash of attitude. Pair it with structured classic pieces, such as a white button-down shirt and black pumps, to keep your boardroom look bold.

Wow
They say opposites attract, and it’s true for style. The unexpected combination of
feminine ruffles and a moto jacket communicates all things cool girl. Any dress you have hanging in your closet can be updated to red carpet–ready with the addition of this topper.

Whether genuine or faux leather (or suede), biker jackets can be worn at all times of the day and for any occasion. Prices range drastically, but the topper’s versatility is guaranteed to pay off.
