You can dress like a real biker even if you don't ride a Harley. Achieving this look can take a lot of work and require some drastic changes to your personal appearance. However, when you do, you can relax and enjoy the lifestyle of bars, motorcycles, and open-air roads.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Assembling your wardrobe
Step 1. Wear a leather jacket or vest
For best results, get an old, worn, smelly leather jacket or vest. Vintage and thrift stores are often the best option for finding this garment. If you can't find used clothing, you can buy something new and wear it until it looks really old.
Step 2. Get leather boots
Both men and women must have a pair of leather boots. These should be black or brown, with two buckles, one that goes around the outside of the ankle and the other on the top. In addition, they should have a cleat to help you hold onto the footboard of the motorcycle.
- Men's boots should reach mid-calf.
- Women can wear knee-length boots. The bigger the better.
Step 3. Wear denim
Wear distressed black or gray denim jeans. Men should avoid tight or baggy pants. Wearing slightly fitted or baggy jeans at the bottom will be very convincing. Women can wear ripped jeans as long as they fit snugly.
- Jeans with holes are another option. Consider ripping or ripping them to give the right impression.
- You can also wear a motorcycle-specific denim jacket instead of the leather jacket. These have large flaps on the chest and at least three zippered pockets on the front.
- Wearing a black leather belt with your jeans will add a touch of elegance.
- Avoid going overboard with denim. Women can also wear a tight, short black skirt in combination with a denim jacket. For their part, men can wear gray or black denim pants if they are wearing a denim jacket, to maintain a balance.
Step 4. Dress in black
Try to choose black clothes. Black boots, jackets, shirts, and jeans should make up the majority of your wardrobe. You can also wear a white shirt or blue jeans, but try not to combine these colors at the same time. Bright, fun colors can give the wrong impression.
Women can wear jeans or skirts with boots. In addition, they can add a lot of jewelry, bags and accessories for motorcyclists. Fringes are fun and leather is a must. Think of the color black all the time
Step 5. Wear a scarf
Fold it to form a long strip and tie it around your head like a pirate. The pirate style works very well to keep long hair away from your face and prevent grease and sweat from your hair from getting on the motorcycle helmet.
Step 6. Get a chain wallet
There is no greater fear for a motorcyclist than the fact that their wallet will fall while riding. The chain wallet has become a staple to help keep bank, credit, and library cards safe.
To put it on, close the end of the lock around the loop of your jeans. Tuck the wallet, located at the opposite end of the chain, into the back pocket of your pants
Part 2 of 2: Finish your look
Step 1. Get a tattoo
A tattoo is a very important part of a biker's look, but you must choose appropriate designs. Tribal tattoos or Japanese characters will not do. Do several for best results.
- Men should get tattoos featuring skulls, flames, wings, weapons, eagles, motorcycles, or some combination of these.
- Women can make skulls, stars, roses, guns, hot girls, and butterflies. These are all very good starting points for a biker tattoo.
- If you are not ready to make the commitment to a permanent tattoo, you can also purchase a temporary tattoo that is applied with water and removes on its own after several days.
Step 2. Get the right hairstyle
Traditional haircuts just won't do. Motorcyclists need to wear a badass hairstyle that matches their personality. Women should find a look that can withstand the conditions of a windy road and keeps them looking attractive after the trip.
- Men can grow hair or beards. Getting long hair typical of a biker can take many years, so you better start this step right away. The longer your hair or beard is, the more believable your look will be. If you don't like this first option, consider going to the other extreme and shaving your head. Both are extreme options, which is the epitome of the biker lifestyle.
- Women can consider various methods of braiding their hair. This is likely the best option to keep looking great after removing your helmet.
Step 3. Consider buying yourself a motorcycle
There is no more obvious "motorcyclist" indicator than owning a motorcycle. You could see yourself as one even if you don't buy it, but if you do, your image will be a little more compelling.
Step 4. Get the physique of a motorcyclist
You may want to start lifting weights to increase your muscles.
- Men should seek above all to increase a little muscle mass. Most motorcyclists have strong arms, so exercise your biceps with curls and push-ups.
- Women should look for a more toned physique with well defined arms. Do lunges, squats, and calf raises that strengthen your legs for motorcycle riding.
Step 5. Go to the same places where motorcyclists go
If you want to look like one, you have to hang out where other riders hang out. Taverns and billiard rooms are a good starting point. If there aren't these kinds of places in your area, join a motorcycle club. These clubs often have their own bars or their members hang out at one of their homes.
