Get savvy with your spending as we reveal 10 iconic investment picks you'd be wise to splash some cash on.

The leather biker
Like fine cheeses and Gary Barlow, some things actually improve with age: cue the quintessential motorcycle jacket. The ultimate rock chic essential, a decent biker should see you through a lifetime of festivals and fun nights-out - the leather will get more supple over the years, and any wear and tear will only add to the jacket's edgy appeal.

Style-savvy buy: you really can't go wrong with this beauty from the high street's go-to store for quality leather jackets: All Saints. Crafted from butter-soft yet hard-wearing Italian goatskin, it's an exquisite take on the traditional asymmetric biker.
