【萌翻天】美国男神讲皮夹克

这期是大萌的美国朋友Bennett给大家带来的节目 Last week All About Clothes talked about the varsity jacket. Today we will be learning about another jacket: the leather jacket 皮夹克. The leather jacket is very different from the varsity jacket. When I see a "varsity jacket” with a big letter on the front, I think think of words like “preppy"学院风 and “sporty.” I think of prestigious universities. I think of people on the basketball or the football team. But when I hear a “leather jacket,” I think of words like rebellious and tough 叛逆和强悍的. In its history, the people who have worn leather jackets are usually not the people you want to bring home to meet your parents. 之前，大家都不敢带穿皮衣的朋友回家见父母。 It has been a jacket for biker gangs, for punks, for rockers 飞车党、朋克党和摇滚乐迷. But the leather jacket it also chic 时髦的. It has always been a favorite style of supermodel Kate Moss. Many high fashion labels have leather jackets—from Burberry to Rick Owens. In its history, the leather jacket has had a lot of styles. Punks and bikers liked to put pins 别针, patches 补丁, and studs 铆钉 on their jackets. This is a tough, hard look. You aren’t going get tougher than metal and leather. Today, wearing pins and patches on your leather jacket still has a strong connection with rock and punk bands. In the 1990s, supermodel Kate Moss made the leather jacket more mainstream 主流的 and because she wore it without pins and studs. It helped make the style look less hard. There are many ways to wear the leather jacket. You can look hard or you can look chic. But the style is timeless. 但是经典还是永恒的。 I suggest wearing leather jackets with skinny jeans. Black or blue both work well. If you want a little edge（前卫）, you can wear your leather jacket with leather boots. If you want to look more chic, you can wear it with high heels. Question: Which style of leather jacket do you like? Do you like an edgy punk style? Or do you like a style that is more stylish, more chic? If you had a leather jacket, what will you wear it with? 推荐一本书: Pride & Glory - The Art of the Rocker’s Jacket (有好多好看的图!) 想和Bennett一起学英语，快快直戳http://t.cn/Rq43KMi下载“英语流利说”吧
