First off, ask yourself why you want to pull off a biker jacket. Are you even a biker?
Secondly, you know there are leather jackets that are not biker-styled, right?
Thirdly, here is my prerequisites to wearing a leather jacket plan, for you:

*Get a tan.
*Lift 1/2/3/4.
(One plate OHP, two plate bench, three plate squat, four plate deadlift.)
*Run a decent 5km.
*Manage five minutes of fast jump rope.

*Buy half a dozen non-leather jackets in varied style and colour and create multiple good, solid fits with all of them.
*Save at least $1000 for the leather jacket.

This has been discussed ad infinitum/ad nauseum.

The majority of these awful looking people would look better if they bought a correctly sized jacket.

The same majority would look better if they invested more than a weekends pay on a good leather jacket.

Finally, they don’t really suit soft or disinteresting looking people. There is a spirit of rebellion/rocknroll/etc in a rider jacket that looks more like a shitty Halloween costume on certain people.

it's not wrong tho, to look good whilst wearing a leather jacket, you need to be thin at the very least. thinspo/slp is the proper way to pull off a leather jacket.

of course faggots like yourself can wear one, you just need to make sure that it's fitted properly and actually know how to groom yourself and be attractive. otherwise you'll look like this >>13160635 - and even tho he's a disaster, if he just swapped out those shoes and opened the jacket, it'd look better instantly.

all those assymetric diagonal zippers look like dogshit. No visual balance, anyone who wears that borders on yesstyle-tier autism. Get something minimal like pic related. make sure it fits, and makes sure its made of decent leather. Ive heard mixed things about schott, their designs are OG but are possibly built for fatasses. So I repeat, make sure it fits, avoid gayboi zippers, make sure its good leather.

Well those are just ridiculous. White sunglasses rarely look good. Same reasoning as white belts. They're too flashy. That pair is especially heinous because of the two tone frames. Sunglasses should be fairly understated unless you want to use them as a statement piece in which case they should be an interesting shape, material, or finish rather than just loud.

The problem with Ray-Ban is more whether you choose to care or not. Ray-Ban and many other large glasses brands (Oakley, Persol, etc) are owned by a massive conglomerate called Luxottica. They charge out the ass for a brand name while delivering a mediocre quality product. Some people feel that by supporting them you're perpetuating a fucked up part of the industry giving money to a shitty corporation. You're better off buying from a smaller independent brand. Check out Randolph Engineering, Linda Farrow, Cuttler and Gross, and Illesteva.
