Motorcycle jeans are the coolest new trend in biker-chic denim. Inspired by leather biker pants worn to protect legs from nasty road rash, Pratt’s cotton version is super hip. Made from stretchy denim, they have zippers at the ankles and detail stitching on the knees, waistband and pockets.
Rihanna, seen last month in New York City, wore the skin tight jeans with a white t-shirt, pumps and grey leather fingerless gloves. Victoria Beckham recently sported a bolder grey style with bleached out spots and teamed them with an ultra-chic wide-shouldered Balmain leather jacket.
Pratt’s Motorcycle jeans had been available from Free People, but apparently the style caught on and the pants are currently out of stock.
