The Ghost Rider will return very soon to the big screen with Hollywood star Ryan Gosling playing the flaming supernatural anti-hero from Marvel Comics and movies. Announced during the San Diego Comic Con panel of Marvel Studios.

As an iconic character, Johnny Blaze, a stunt-biker, the most popular character to have taken up the mantle of Ghost Rider, has always ridden the boundaries of danger and becoming one himself for the foe who inflicted pain to their victims. And he's done so being effortlessly stylish with his Moto-Core fashion even becoming his suit/outfit of sorts while in his blazing-skull form.

As we learn more details about the upcoming project starring Ryan and directed by Deadpool & Wolverine fame Shawn Levy. We predict the return of Moto-Core as the in-trend. Before the trend arrives, here's a cheat sheet on how to style Moto-Core IRL inspired by the OG motorcyclist comic-book character Ghost Rider.

From cropped racing jackets to waxed denims and chunky boots, Ghost Rider’s iconic look fuels a real-world Moto-Core style guide ahead of Ryan Gosling’s fiery Marvel reboot

1. Jacket

Getting the jacket right is the most foundational aspect of this look. One can choose emphasise on high-collar racing outerwear instead of the plain-old double-rider jackets. To lengthen the silhouette the best way to style the jacket is to choose a cropped jacket or outerwear restricted to the waist. Further more another perfect way to pair it with a plain white or any other light-coloured t-shirt. Reminds you of Ryan Gosling's The Place Beyond the Pines and classic Ghost Rider lore.

2. Trousers

Straight-leg or wide-leg cuts would serve to be much better modern cuts for your leather trousers instead of the regular skinny cut. Wax-coated denims add that subtle metallic sheen to the look.

3. Fotowear

Heavy footwear like chunky boots will anchor the silhouette perfectly. Square-toe engineer boots, rugged Chelsea boots or harness boots that have thick soles — choose your pick and pair it with the straight cut to let them naturally get tucked in for a perfect and accentuated look.

4. Crisp inner layer

Acid-wash oversized hoodies, old-school tees of rock bands or thermal long-sleeves layered underneath the open jackets can be yet another cheatcode to getting your look perfect and crisp. Also add flame motifs wherever possible

5. Accessories

The Ghost Rider's look is menacingly stylish all the more thanks to his heavy chains, which he uses as a weapon. Instead of going down that route to literally cosplay the legendary character, choose to go for chunky silver chains across your trouser, silver or gold rings for your hands. A good move would be to wear oxidized jewellery in order for them to blend in perfectly without overshadowing your ensemble
