The Trench Coat A Perfect Way To Top Off Your Scooter Look

Trench Coats – The Perfect Way To Top Off Your Scooter Look

For anyone looking to turn heads while they ride by on their Vespa scooter, a stylish, classic trench coat is an absolute must. Fashion has always been an integral part of the scooter lifestyle, as for over sixty years now, scooters have been synonymous with style and fashion. In the classic 1953 movie Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn shot to stardom on the back of a Vespa scooter, and her look was topped off by a stylish silk scarf. This link between fashion and scooters has been preserved throughout the years, as Guess’ latest ad campaign featured supermodel Claudia Schiffer astride a Vespa.

However, looking fashionable doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on safety. Should you take a tumble while out riding, you’ll want your clothing to offer you a vital layer of protection, so that you don’t suffer any unnecessary, painful injuries. One way to do this is with a protective padding trench coat. They have always been an integral part of the scooter look, particularly with the ladies, and this is largely down to the fact that they can act as effective body armour, while still looking fantastic. As you can see from the examples below, they really are the perfect way of topping off your look while riding your scooter, and are great for injecting a bit of glamour into your morning commute.

Prioritise jackets that do include protective padding

Another great thing about trench coats is the sheer variety available for sale. Whatever your personal style, you’re sure to be able to find a trench coat with protective padding that perfectly accompanies your look- just think of it as the icing on the cake, except that the icing comes reinforced should that cake come tumbling down. We’ve included a couple of examples here, although with a little research, you’ll be able to find trench coats in a huge range of different designs and patterns. Whether you want a more conservative look, or something a little quirkier, there’s a trench coat out there for you.

One thing to look out for, however, is whether or not the trench coat has protective padding. This can really make a difference should you come off your scooter while you’re out on the roads, so you should really prioritise jackets that do include protective padding. Without it, you’re only setting yourself up for a nasty injury if you’re counting on a thin layer of fabric to save your skin. For those that don’t, you’ll want to wear something under it that offers a good level of protection.
