Leather jackets are a between-seasons wardrobe staple. They're windproof, versatile and never go out of style. This spring, biker-inspired jackets are on the rise. Think: oversized fits, padded shoulders and vibrant colour-blocking. And the latest celebrity to try their hand at the statement outerwear trend is none other than Katy Perry, who recently opted for a vibrant yellow number that will live rent-free in our heads for years to come.
While out and about in New York City earlier this week, the 'Roar' singer stepped out wearing a showstopping motorcycle jacket. The canary yellow hue and contrasting black detailing down each sleeve gives straight-up Uma Thurman in Kill Bill vibes. As for how she styled the jacket, KP layers the piece over a plain white top and finishes the look with a pair of low-rise, Y2K-inspired jeans, underneath which you can see a pair of pointed pumps poking out.
Safe to say, KP's whole get-up is absolutely phenomenal, and I high-key want this jacket in my life.
