Fabulous Find of the Week: Walmart Moto Jacket

16 Comments

This week’s Fabulous Find comes from the one and only Walmart – and it’s definitely a steal! At only $18, this moto-style jacket is inexpensive, functional AND comfortable, made of knit terry instead of leather or wool. Even though it’s made of a lighter-weight knit material, it still maintains its structure and brings a cool edge to any outfit. Read on to learn how to style it!

Outfit Inspiration

Below, I’ve created three totally different ways to style this one awesome jacket:

Outfit 1

Outfit Idea: Motorcycle jacket, floral maxi dress, burgundy circle scarf, wedge ankle booties
Jacket, Dress, Scarf, Shoes

The first look is something that easily transitions from summer to the colder months – a maxi dress! Worried about staying warm? Throw on a pair of tights underneath – who’s gonna see?!

To create this look, I started with this gorgeous floral dress and added the black moto jacket for some edgy contrast. Next, I layered on this gorgeous deep red scarf for some extra warmth and a pop of color. As for shoes, I chose a black wedge that not only works with the whole color palette, but will make you seem like you have legs-for-days underneath that maxi!

Outfit 2

Outfit Idea: Motorcycle jacket, leopard shorts, black tights, black sneakers, graphic tee
Jacket, Tee, Shorts, Sneakers, Tights

This look is much more casual than the first, but just as warm and stylish. Here, I paired the jacket with some awesome leopard print shorts and a quirky black and white graphic tee. Black tights, worn underneath the shorts, keep this outfit winter-friendly, and these great sneakers (which I’ve used in CF posts before – they’re just so perfect…) are comfortable AND stylish. Rock this look while you’re running errands or just hanging around.

Outfit 3

Outfit Idea: Motorcycle jacket, hot pink dress, ankle booties, patterned tights
Jacket, Dress, Tights, Heels

The last and most dressy look definitely packs a lot of punch. This time, the moto jacket is paired with a hot (almost neon) pink, ladylike dress – which makes the rougher black accessories pop even more. These badass black lace-up heels are the perfect contrast to the feminine pink dress and even more feminine polka dot tights, and the moto jacket has the same toughening effect. Wear this outfit for a night on the town with the girls – you’re sure to turn heads.

Your thoughts?

Now I want to know what you think! Do you see the outfit possibilities for this week’s Fabulous Find? How would YOU wear this jacket? Which outfit is your fave? Let me know with a comment!

    This is like a Forever 21 jacket a came across at a thrift store a while ago. I wear it with practically everything, thanks for giving me more ideas on how to wear it!

    Wow this is actually a great piece to have in your wardrobe. Is so versatile. I never thought walmart would have such a cute piece at a even cuter price!

    I’d rather have leather anyway, or at least something more sturdy. Even though the picture looks nice, the jacket is probably floppy and not AS cute in real life. I’d go for a cheap thicker-fabric blazer or leather motorcycle jacket from forever21, probably not for much more money. For outerwear, it’s worth it to invest.

    Wait but do it if you’re just experimenting with edgier style, or if you’re likely to wear it to a party and lose it. Outfit number 2 is basically flawless, if you’d wear it a ton leather would look AWESOME doe

    This is similar to the terry jacket I bought at urban outfitters for like 65$ a few seasons ago, but with less zippers. I’d definitely get this one if I didn’t have one already :)
