Layer-able, Lightweight Moto Jackets For Spring

Posted by Siofan | Thursday May 5, 2011

A classic, leather motorcycle jacket is the kind of piece you'll wear forever—the more beat-up it gets, the better it looks. Come summer leather is largely off-limits, so we're opting for one of these lightweight moto-style jackets in denim, cotton and linen. Cropped styles will give some edge to a loose summer dress, while styles that hit at the top of the hipbone are suited for body-con skirts and cropped pants.

What do you wear to stay warm on summer nights?
