Day to Night | Moto Jacket

Happy MLK Day! Are you off for the holiday, or is it business as usual? Our kids are home from school, but it’s too bitter cold to go do anything! We were all hoping for some snow or something, but it looks like it’s just going to drizzle ice…enough to make Dallas drivers panic.

Today I have a quick and easy style inspiration for you! It’s likely you have some sort of moto or cropped jacket in your closet (if not, mine is 40% off!), so I sharing how I style mine for both Day and Night!

Moto jackets are typically associated with edgy styles, or sassy nights out, but they can easily be dressed down with your favorite sweater. I love it layered over a big turtleneck for more texture and volume. Plus, this suede is fairly heavy and provides a good amount of warmth, but not so bulky that I can’t wear a larger coat over the top if necessary.

Fit Tip: This jacket runs a little small, especially in the arms, so I sized up to a small.

The wine color is just as versatile as black, but a little unexpected.

Now to switch it up for a night out…my go-to is always to layer it over a silk camisole, and the over-the-knee boots make the whole thing extra sassy. But traditional knee boots, ankle boots or heels would work, too.

You could even zip it all the way up and wear the jacket more like a top. In this instance, I prefer the taller boots for a better proportion.

Do you own a moto jacket? Does it get a lot of wear? I also love them over dresses or worn with skirts of all lengths. Think of them as you would a cardigan, and it really opens up the styling options!
