Biker jackets needn’t be black, Autumn/Winter ’13 brings with it a wealth of different styles to suit your look, from heritage checks to pretty pastels.
The biker is just as an important component of your capsule wardrobe as skinny jeans or a white shirt. So invest wisely. From off-duty weekend denim to cocktail dresses, the classic biker can elevate a look from sensible to Kate Moss cool in an instant.
Always a hit on and off the catwalk, AW13 is full of different styles and shapes. From Acne’s must-have black leather to M&S’s long-line, monochrome checks, here are our top 10.

Acne Mape Leather Biker Jacket
The cream of the crop when it comes to leather cover-ups, Acne’s classic Mape biker is a wardrobe investment to treasure for years to come. Wear with just about everything.


French Connection Triumph Tweed Biker
Giving the classic biker a heritage twist, French Connection’s winter warmer comes in traditional tweed. Pair with indigo flares and a felt fedora.


Muubaa Abila Leather Quilted Jacket In Black
Lightly distressed with classic motorcycle padded sleeves, biker’s don’t come much more authentic than Muubaa’s Abila jacket. Wear over an oversized plaid shirt and ripped skinny jeans.


Whistles Elodie Biker Coat
Every woman should invest in a good camel coat. Whistles’ biker version mixes timeless elegance with rock chick credentials.


Victoria Beckham Denim Leather-Trimmed Wool-Blend Biker Jacket
Victoria Beckham takes notes from her own wardrobe and injects some glamour into the classic biker. We love the inky, navy shade and tough detailing – the perfect update to a white shirt, skinny denim and heels.


Reiss Alana Fabric Biker Jacket
Toughen up this girlish biker with skinny leather trousers, ankle boots and the collar turned up for an air of cool nonchalance.


Borg Collar Aviator Jacket
Update your autumn wardrobe with George’s pocket friendly biker. In soft marl grey and with a white, shearling style collar it’ll look great against a tartan scarf and warm winter knit.


Jaeger Contrast Biker Jacket
A monochrome colour palette is perennially cool, and no more so when worked into tough-luxe leather. Wear with a top-to-toe black look from a felt fedora to chained biker boots.


Chloé Leather and Shearling Biker Jacket
Chloé’s girlish aesthetic gives this gorgeous biker a softer edge in pale pastel blue and cream shearling. Layer over a floaty floral dress for a book that’s more boho than rock chic.


Checked Biker Coat with Wool
Covet Celine style checks with M&S’s wool biker. Pair with black skinny denim and this season’s must-have monk strap shoes.
