Get the Gear to Ride the Motocross Trend Straight Through Winter and Well into Spring

Bikers have long served as style inspiration for fashion folk. A motorcycle jacket is considered a necessity, not an option. But lately the obsession has shifted more toward motocross. Instead of all-black everything, motocross often requires pops of bright colors, especially when it comes to jackets. (Frequently teamed with matching, equally colorful pants.) Since paying homage to the sport usually involves lots of leather, both real and faux, it's well-suited to colder temps.

Now you don't have to embrace the mania from head to toe. Simply slipping on a race-worthy jacket is more than sufficient. Luckily, it's almost a certainty you'll be able to track one down in your favorite shade. Plus, just like your typical motorcycle jacket, these coverups have real staying power. You can even swap out a sweater and wear your favorite inside instead. Sporting a pair of paneled trousers solo also nods to the movement that's still gaining momentum. Of course, you can rock a full suit if you so choose. Even complete with biker boots.
