Cool Rider: 20 Biker Jackets to Rev Up Your Winter Style
Please tell us we’re not the only ones who’ve seen Grease 2. A little recap for those of you who missed out: Michelle Pfeiffer played ultimate cool gal, Stephanie Zinone, who kept turning down a hunky (yet vanilla) British exchange student. Eventually he Sandra Dee’d himself in by riding on a hog into the luau. (Talk about gender role reversal.) But she wanted a bad boy, and she turned him down the only way Rydell High girls know how — with song. Channel her look with a biker jacket that will have you sing-spelling, “C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R” in no time.

11. Boxy Woven Moto Jacket ($35): After watching season after season of Project Runway, we know a major takeaway when it comes to style is to KISS — “Keep It Simple, Stupid.” This minimalist, structured jacket gives you angles in all the right places, no shoulder pads required.

20. Denim Longline Biker Jacket ($27): A snowy white biker jacket is a fresh take on a traditionally dark, leather garment. And we’ll layer it with a colorful scarf, of course.
