Biker Chic - Help Required

[The Kevlar Kid]

Here's a question for the ladies on the forum... but suggestions welcomed from the guys...

Someone in the office has wangled themselves an invite to a 'Long Way Down' party, for which the dress code is 'Biker Chic' (thats 'sheek' not 'Chick' btw).

My question is WTF is 'Biker Chic' for a woman??? I'm guessing an Arai, and a set of Dainesse's would look a little out of place at a party :twak:, but someone here's suggestion of a leather bikini (found on a Google search) would be both innapropriate and a little chilly in Novemebr too ;)

Whadya think :scratch:

Suzy Perry. She's an intellegent, articulate, successful role model. And she's British too!

[scrumpster]

Jeans, long boots, a Ducati T shirt and a nice leather Ducati jacket ;)

anything that draws attention from the oily bike boots at the bottom (ie something that draws more attention to the cleavage) generally works as Chic for a girl doesn't it?

Major New Fashion Looks for Fall 2007 Winter 2008
Top Twenty Key Trends

1. COATS - A major trend is for coats - seek Cocoon volume, Trapeze A-lines or masculine lean tailored fitted coats.
2. PLAIDS AND CHECKS - Big tartans and checks create punk influenced jackets, dresses, bags and coats.
3. ARMY & NAVY MILITARY - Sgt. Pepper - braids, brass, ornate pea coats, martial lines in black, navy, cream, olive.
4. GLEAM & SHEEN - METALLICS, LEATHER, PATENT, PLASTIC, RUBBER - shine, sheen, glow, glimmer and gleam.
5. BIKER BABE - Leather multi zipper biker jackets, sans studs. Supple leather knee coats worn with skinnies.
6. ARMORIAL - Clothes with hardware or reptilian textured leathers make the perfect warrior women.
7. 1940s GLAMOUR GODDESS GOWNS - Grown up dressing for girls who emulate 1940s satin clad sultry sirens.
8. SECRETARY DRESSES - Figure hugging midi dresses for hourglass bodies. Try sack, trapeze or pinafore alternatives.
9. OPULENCE - Pailettes and embellishment bulks-up to become passementerie. Deluxe gold trim overlays black.
10. SKIRT SUITS - Formal dressing made easy with matchy matchy jackets and full or pencil skirts.
11. SHOOTING PARTY - Lighter weight country look tweeds, moleskin and corduroy separates, but for town wear.
12. EQUESTRIAN - Sporting touches in boots and trousers. Think jodhpurs, crisp shirts, caps and riding capes.
13. MAN ABOUT TOWN - Androgynous dressing in high-waisted man tailored pants, or tuxedo masculine trouser suits.
14. GLOBAL NOMAD - Ethnic Mix - tribal look that evolves, refuses to die. Melting pot traveller clashing prints, patterns.
15. WINTER WARMERS - BIG KNITS - Every wardrobe will succumb to at least one item from oversized knit ranges.
16. QUILTED, PADDED & PUFFA LOOKS - Practical glamour for winter cosiness. This is edgy when styled well.
17. MONOCHROME - Black with white optical effects, grey knitwear and tailoring.
18. BLACK ON BLACK - Black texture is laid beside other textures. Matte against shiny, or dull against shimmering black.
19. COLOUR - Jewel colours, bold brights - orange, coral, pink, red, emerald green, amethyst and purple.
20. PURPLE - Any tone, any shade as long as it's purple. Amethyst, aubergine, puce, purple, mauve, lilac, lavender.

Or this?! Now wouldn't this look nice with knee length boots? I'm liking the piping very much. Tres retro 70's biker chic?

It could be a little chilly in November, you are right but with a beer coat on, should be fine.

A slightly more sensible suggestion would be to ask Mand. She has the ultimate Biker Chic stylee.

Sadly I'd have to loose about 10 stone and grow some hair... otherwise nice idea :cool: I could do with a free :booze: I don't think the bikini would suit me either (scary scary thought)

There's a few tickets floating around at work - sadly none have come my way though :hissy: probably just as well as the wife thinks Ewan MukSpreader is rather gorge' :gay:

Suggestions still welcomed...

Only if she is wearing a correct fitting bra.... :chuckle:

[Mand]

Suggestions still welcomed...

No tassels or studs.
No lycra.
No gortex.

Suzy Perry isn't cool.

Louise Brady is cool. Tell her to do a google image search for Louise Brady, she makes Suzy Perry looks like a proper minger.

Mand she's a looker alright. But not as sweet as you...
