Fall's Coolest Runway Trend Is Taking Over Zara's New-Arrivals Section
In addition to all the dainty, pretty things that beautified last February's fall/winter runways, the season featured trends that lend themselves to an edgier persona. Rougher, darker, and not for the faint of heart, these trends didn't feature bows, hearts, or pastels. Instead, they were constructed mostly out of heavy-duty leather and metal hardware perfect for a ride on the back of someone's Harley. For proof, see all the motorcycle-inspired looks from Dior's, Coperni's, Balmain's, and Diesel's F/W 22 collections below.
Now that fall is actually here, bringing with it all the pieces that debuted on the runways last winter, the motorcycle look is starting to hit stores, specifically Zara. From padded moto jackets to lace-up leather pants, this week's selection of new arrivals at the retailer included everything you'll need to check off the coolest, most hard-core runway trend for fall. Scroll down to get started.
