Mr O. # 24: Biker Jacket... Anyone?

Although I am a very wintery person, clothes-wise I also like the "in between" seasons because the temperature is mild enough to allow you to leave a few layers of knits behind, but still that little bit chilly to require the use of a light coat or a leather jacket. 
And what is better than a zipped biker jacket to go through Spring feeling a bit Fonzarelli and a bit more tough? 
When I had teenagers crisis like "I have nothing to wear!!", my mum used to solve the problem with a "Just wear jeans and a T-shirt and you'll be fine". Yeh, as if it was that easy! 
But now I do follow her advice and I just throw my biker jacket over this simple outfit and... Man, I feel cool!
For this S/S 12 designers have made them in array of colours and in different materials, from neutrals shades to bright ones and from leather to silk and wool-blend. My favourite is the peach one by Acne, although I prefer to stick to my black vintage one which I bought years ago at Portobello market: it is a real biker jacket, with big shoulders and thick leather...the best in world!!
Here's my Top Designer Chart:
From top left to right - Cream bouclé: Balmain, Floral print on silk: Mary Katrantzou, Fluorescent yellow wool-blend: Christopher Kane, Royal blue suede: Acne, Peach nappa: Acne, Coral leather: Carven, Fuchsia wool-blend: Christopher Kane, Burgundy suede:LOT78.
