Motorcycle themes and leather make their way back in style

Implications - Biker fashion has made its way from Harley riders of the '80s to the modern day backs of women, men and even their babies. Whether faux or real, leather has become an outerwear staple, and cropped motorcycle jackets are being paired with everything from jeans and t-shirts to little black dresses.
Trend Themes
1. Biker Chic Fashion - The trend towards biker-inspired fashion has resulted in leather jackets, motorcycle jeans, biker boots and other apparel becoming very popular among fashion enthusiasts.
2. Gender-bending Fashion Photography - The fashion industry, specifically fashion photography, is focusing more and more on androgynous and gender-bending visuals.
3. Dressy Leather Jackets - Leather jackets have moved beyond the realm of biker chick style and are now being incorporated into dressy and formal looks.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry has been greatly impacted by the trend towards biker chic and the shift towards androgynous fashion photography.
2. Retail - Retailers can take advantage of the popularity of dressy leather jackets by incorporating them into their product offerings.
3. Photography - The trend towards androgynous fashion photography presents opportunities for photographers to experiment with gender-bending visuals.
