Racing Bomber Jackets Have Taken Over, And I’m Into It

The birds are chirping, the days are longer, and our wardrobes slowly shift toward spring/summer pieces. As closets start to transition due to the seasons just around the corner, scarves and cardigans are being put away to make room for the brighter-colored and shorter clothing items in our closets. I’m talking mini skirts, sheer shirts, and racing bomber jackets! Yes, indeed. You are reading that correctly; racing bomber jackets are following us into spring/summer 2023, and Strike Boca couldn’t be more on board.

The racing leather jacket's versatility has followed the fashion trends since the ‘70s. Racing jackets emerged because of their fusion of style and how easy they were to just throw on. Pairing that new motorsport jacket you’ve been itching to wear with a solid pair of jeans, a striking black boot, and your everyday white tee is just as easy as it gets. Kendall Jenner would agree! She wore that exact outfit out for brunch a couple of weeks ago to ring in the new year. Something about a simple outfit with a white t-shirt and a leather jacket reminds me why high-speed fashion will never go out of style.

If you’ve been wanting to get the look but don’t know where to start, don’t you worry. Strike’s got you covered! Shop pieces inspired by Kendall’s motorsport OOTD below:

This moto zip-up jacket from Jaded London has been on my radar lately, and I've never needed a jacket more. If you’re looking for a piece to spice up your wardrobe this spring, don’t sleep on this one. From its double-layer collar to the embroidery details, this moto jacket is to die for.

Is it too eager to say that this Cotton On white tee is the most perfect simple white t-shirt I’ve ever laid eyes on? Because it is. The length, the way it sits, and the effortless look are just a few of the things that made me add this item to my cart and press “check-out” all within seconds of being on the website. 

Blue 'The Myra' Jeans - Goldsign

The wash and cut are what sold me on these jeans by the brand, Goldsign. Swap the boot with a sneaker, and you’ve got yourself a casual daytime outfit. Even better, add a pointed-toe high-heel, and you’re golden. 

Marc Fisher Boots

One can never have too many black boots, am I right? These Marc Fisher boots will add the elegance and edge you’ve needed for your shoe collection.

Now listen, I know KJ has the nation torn in half as of right now. Apparently, she’s been in some headlines recently because she was telling secrets to my BF Benito (shhhh). Still, you must admit the girl serves every now and then with her little outfits. I won’t deny it, and neither can you. Nonetheless, this was a simple serve in my book. Hopefully, I could sway you all into making your next purchase, a motorsport-inspired piece. 

Strike out,
