Racer jackets are not solely functional motorcycle-wearing accessories but rather today’s fashion accessories. Originally developed as a wind and rain accessory and a shield against flying particles, travelers have fallen in love with them because of their streamlined and simple look. Morphing back to that initial query of how a single garment can be a racer jacket yet also the former, that debate still gets interesting in asking whether it is indeed feasible for a racer jacket to be all and do both at the same time.

The answer seems to be its original design and the function which it serves. Racer jackets fit tightly around the body, have no collar, and are shaped as close to the figure as possible, with straight sleeves. Due to this simple design, they can be worn with anything from jeans for an informal occasion to a dress shirt for a near-formal occasion. It has no fancy shape or structure that makes them inconspicuous for particular occasions but they are ever appropriate.

ANEW; though, is where racer jackets excel; at functionality. Usually, made from heavy material such as leather or advanced synthetic materials, these jackets afford a good deal of defense to adverse weather conditions. Motorists can agree that the tough built-in design is in a way an extra shield, and for users, it can easily be a blanket in cold climates plus a sturdy shield. Some of the current models are even equipped with concealed pockets and the portability of the lining so as not to affect the appearance of the gun holder.

The thing that doesn’t fail to impress about racer jackets, specifically, is that they are versatile. Coats fit all four seasons—short ones for warm months, long ones for cold months, insulated ones, or ones with extra lining. Of all the apparel styles and trends, the racer jackets demonstrate that fashion and practicality go hand in hand.
