Fashion Trend: Anne Hathaway and Ashely Olsen wear the motorcyle jacket with skirts

I used to think that motorcycle jackets were only for those who rode Harleys and I\’m so glad I was wrong. Pairing a leather motorcycle jacket with skirts, evening, or cocktail dresses is a daring new fashion trend that everyone can pull off with the right attitude.

Fashion Trend: Anne Hathaway and Ashley Olsen wear the motorcylce jacket with skirts and you can too! There are many different styles of biker jackets and skirts that you may not think look great right away, but give it a try. You might surprise yourself. It\’s a look that screams rough around the edges and whispers sweet under the surface.

Take Anne Hathaway\’s stylish motorocycle jacket and bubble skirt style. By picking a cute pink bubble skirt, she gives off a little girl vibe but adding a leather waist length motorcycle jacket puts some much needed edge into her look. Ashely Olsen is a little darker all around with her all black outfit. Ashley Olsen\’s floor length dress is elegant yet her biker jacket is funky and reminds me of the 1970\’s fashion.

What\’s amazing about the motorcycle jacket with skirt trend is that it can be found all over the world. It\’s universally fun and every girl should want to give it a try, at least once…without a doubt you\’ll get compliments and copiers. Here is an adorable girl from London rocking the cropped motorcycle jacket with a funky flower embellished mini dress and then the daring Tokyo girl looks like she\’s channelling 1980\’s fashion with her just-out-there-enough style. The girl from Stockholm is modest with her opac tights and maroon pleated skirt and that cropped biker jacket is an unexpected yet perfect choice for an awesome outfit.

We all know that Rihanna is a fashion icon and that she can practically do no wrong. She has taken the motorcycle with skirt trend and stepped it up a notch. She\’s hip and full on motorcycle chick. She\’s bold enough to take a trend to its limit and still look like she\’s got it all under control. I love it! Jamie-Lynn Sigler, on the other hand, is flirty and tough by pairing a flowy cocktail dress with her motorcycle jacket. Both looks are great!
