How To Work The Racer Trend Into Your Wardrobe – With Pieces You Probably Already Own

Looking for a low-key take on the trend? Make like Kendall Jenner and team a slim-fitting moto jacket with dark bootleg jeans and pointed boots. It’s just the right amount of nineties meets noughties nostalgia, and we’re tipping you already have most (if not all) of the building blocks in your closet.

With days already starting to warm, we’re digging our denim shorts out of hibernation to recreate the ultimate off-duty look. Take your cues from Dua Lipa and team your denim cut-offs with an oversized moto jacket and tall boots. And when it’s sunny enough to go sans outerwear? We’ll be wearing a (real deal) vintage Harley-Davidson tee.

Leave it to Hailey Bieber to make high-octane technical sneakers look this effortless. Swap out your neutrals for bold, blistering shades and aerodynamic bootie-style shapes (AKA the shoes you’d actually do a HIIT class in). Dip a toe in and keep the rest of your outfit simple – relaxed denim, a basic tee and the trench you’ve been wearing all season long. 

Going full racer probably isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re here for it, so are we. Leather pants are key to pulling off the look, paired with a matching top or jacket (or both, if you’re game). Complete the fit with statement shades, a pointed toe and petite bag for a podium-worthy finish.
