Fashion Essentials for the road(1)

We always strive to look our best since fashion is everywhere. Why not look great behind the wheel and learn about chic car fashion? Believe it or not, there are some fashion essentials us gals need. Some added accessories that will make us look oh so glamorous while driving the kids around, or meeting friends out on the town. I have come up with a list of the perfect fashion essentials for the road.  Spruce up your driving wardrobe with these items below, and never again will you leave the garage looking drab.

Driving Gloves

Driving Gloves

Have you ever seen Audrey Hepburn in her classic black gloves? While some may think it was a fashion statement, I say they were fancy driving gloves, considering she owned a Ferrari 250PF. Driving gloves are fun to wear and have value. They are chic, comfortable, keep you hands warm, and add more grip to the steering wheel. Why wouldn’t you want to drive in these! They come in two different styles; a full hand cover or added cutouts around the knuckles. Want to be even more fashionable? Match your driving gloves to the color of your interior.

Purchase: $29.99

Leather Jacket

Leather Jacket

Nothing goes better with ChicMoto then a great leather jacket. Leather jackets are comfortable and very stylish. They come in many different colors,  textures, and, of course, prices. But you don’t have to spend big bucks to look great, thanks to Amazon. Some leather jackets even come with a hood, which is perfect for taking the convertible for a spin.

Purchase: $48.89

Straw Fedora

Driving Hat

You don’t need a convertible to drive in an adorable hat. Cute driving hats are perfect for that messy hair day. There are many options for driving hats; fedora, floppy, baseball, beanie. Pick one that is best for your head shape and keep it in the car. You never know when you need that one accessory to perfect an outfit.

Purchase: $15.99

Fashion Sneaker

Driving Shoes

Women should never drive with heels. Not only is it uncomfortable, but your heel could get stuck under the floor mat. It could also drag across your floor mat, limiting your reaction time. That is why we all need a pair of fashionable driving sneakers tucked behind the driver’s seat. That way, whenever your outfit requires fancy stilettos, you have a couple of great driving sneakers to throw on. You want to drive in shoes that are comfortable, durable, but not too thick. Like the shoes above. They have sass, get the job done, and totally chic.

Purchase: $14.99

Cateyes Sunglasses

Sunglasses

A definite fashion essential. We want those eyes to stay protected from the sun while looking fabulous. I tend to lean towards retro sunglasses like the ones above. I like the classic car feel when I am driving. Pick a style that best suits your face structure. Always have it available when driving, and you will be the queen of the streets.

Purchase: $9.99

Shoulder Bag

Stylish Purse

What better to hold your valuables than a great purse. I know we cherish these things, and have maybe one too many, but a purse to a woman is like a smooth glass of wine on a rainy day. Something we need and love. Be careful on bags with a lot of extra bling. I am talking about those big tags that have the designer logo that can scratch your car with one little swing. Been there, done that, and trashed that bag. But if you are careful, you can find a “car-proof” purse that will look great and keep your car scratch free. I choose this leather one from Amazon. Great size, no annoying extras, and a pop of color.

Purchase: $35.50

There you have it ladies. The auto industry can be fashionable, especially when rocking those cat-eye sunglasses. Follow my 6 fashion essentials above to look great behind the wheel. Who said we can’t look glamorous taking the kids to soccer? Grab a nice leather bag, rock that fedora, and all eyes will be on you. Don’t forget extra driving shoes though! Be safe, look great, and fall in love with car fashion.

Hello, and welcome to ChicMoto. A website built for women explaining everything you need to know about cars to boost your confidence and knowledge in a "male dominant" world. I grew up around cars and consider myself a gear head. I started race school at Skip Barber back in 2010 and got my race car licenses in 2013. I want to teach women that cars are not as difficult as they may seem, and you do not need to be an expert to understand what is going on behind the wheel. I hope you enjoy my articles, and if there is ever a question or car issue I do not address, feel free to email me or add a comment. Thank you, and always drive in style!
