What to wear under a biker jacket

3 min read · Leather Jacket Co

A biker jacket has a zip front, so what you wear under it matters. The right layer looks good and still lets you move.

Here are the easy options.

A plain tee

White, black or gray: a tee is the simplest choice.

It keeps the outline clean and lets the jacket do the talking.

A fine knit or a shirt

A thin sweater or a button-up gives extra warmth without bulk. Tuck it in or leave it loose, depending on the look.

Avoid heavy knits, which can pull across the back.

A hoodie

A thin hoodie under a biker jacket is a casual combination. Wear the hood out over the collar for a relaxed look.

If you plan on hoodies, consider going up one size. Our size guide explains how.

Check the fit

Try on the jacket over your layer before you decide. You should be able to zip up and cross your arms easily.

See the Men's Classic Biker Jacket or the Women's Slim Fit Biker Jacket.

Quick outfit combinations

Try a gray tee with dark jeans, a striped top with black pants, or a white shirt with olive pants. Keep the colors close for an easy look, or add one bright piece.

Think about the neckline too. A crew neck sits neatly under a collar, while a V-neck shows more of the jacket's zip. Browse the women's jackets collection for more cuts.
