‘Rocker Chic’ is one of Fall 2013’s hottest trends, but you don’t have to break the bank to stay on trend. Whether you go the designer route or make a statement that costs less, look the part in chic leather jackets and moto inspired boots and handbags.

You can’t be a rocker without a leather jacket! For a classic take on the trend that will never go out of style, splurge on BLK Denim’s black leather jacket. This simple style features smooth, glazed leather and minimal detailing. Steal a similar look with the renegade moto jacket by Nasty Gal.

Make your black leather pop with a studded red bag. Rebecca Minkoff overs a splurge-worthy studded satchel that doubles in style and convenience with an optional crossbody strap. For a steal of a deal, go with a studded faux leather tote by Emperia. This roomy handbag also offers an adjustable carrying strap.

Your rocker chic look wouldn’t be complete without a pair of moto booties. Though they have a low-profile, these studded motorcycle booties by Saint Laurent make a high-impact. Splurge on this pair for the ultimate edgy bootie. Opt for a less pricey pair in a similar look by Betsey Johnson and you can still get the same studded effect.
