Punk, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge: Whatever you call it, black leather, spikes, and chains are all the rage right now. At the top of my list is the motorcycle jacket.

The most wallet-friendly option is a vegan or faux leather version.

Try: Members Only Quilted Vegan Leather Moto, $99, urbanoutfitters.com

If you prefer to invest in a premium brand, pick up a coated denim jacket.
