There are certain items every wardrobe should include. As well as a classic white shirt and a good pair of jeans, a timeless staple has to be the biker jacket.  Whether you go for real or faux leather, the biker-babe cover-up can update even the simplest of outfits and will always feel fresh. We promise that if you find yours now, you will be wearing it for years and years!

There are so many to choose from and the boxier shape and shorter length works with just about every body shape, and can easily be styled up or down for day or night. Use yours to add an evening-ready edge to a pretty frock or simply sling it over a t-shirt and jeans combo for easy weekend cool.

Not sure where to start? We have taken all the faff out of finding your new all-week wonder jacket with an ultimate edit of brilliant bikers.

SHOP: The best biker jackets

ASOS Design Oversized Premium Real Leather Biker JacketASOS

The oversized shape and worn-in style fabric of this one has a grungey feel to it that will add a cool-girl spin to an old midi dress.

A powder blue colourway and soft suedette fabric gives the biker a delicate feel. It’ll look great during winter over a pastel knit and then it’ll sit well over florals once the weather warms.

A rich chocolate tone and super soft faux-leather will have you friends thinking you’ve splashed out on a designer cover-up.

This one is an extra couple of inches long, making it ideal for taller fashionistas looking for the perfect fit.

Padded shoulders and a fuss-free design help to give this one a sharper silhouette that ups the fash-factor nicely.

We love the cropped length and tie waist on this pleather piece. The belted detail helps to add shape for a flattering finish.

Boohoo Oversized Washed Faux Leather Biker Jacket65

You’ll look like you’re rocking a vintage number in this washed faux leather buy. Wear the oversized jacket over a hoodie and leggings for low key chic.

PrettyLittleThing Petite Cream Faux Leather Zip Detail Biker JacketPrettyLittleThing

Shorter shoppers will love this petite style jacket in a wintery white colourwash. Use it to perk up old denim with ease.

The celebrity style elite loves a biker jacket as much as we do – we have clocked A-listers rocking their leathers left, right and centre over the last few weeks. We love how Amanda has buddied hers up with some bobby-dazzler sequins for a glam spin - its a great way to rework sparkles post-Xmas.

Model Gigi was spotted shopping in her rich brown biker. She styled it perfectly for a low key day with a brightly coloured scarf, cosy knit and trousers. We love!
