Back in the 80’s the bomber jacket was the staple
that every “bad boy” had in his wardrobe. Ever since, due to its simple shape
and lightweight design, the bomber jacket has secured its position as a cool
classic and it comes as no wander that it is having a huge comeback as a
principal wardrobe item for transitional wear for both genders.
Jeans: J Brand
Jacket: Lover
Keeping its true nature and style intact, ie
short in the body with rather puffy sleeves and a front zipper, the modern
bomber jacket brings a luxurious and fashionable vibe and
versatility in a wide range of styles, colour schemes and fabric choices from
luxurious expensive silky textures to swooshing nylon, from leather to lace,
and from sheer to simple jersey giving us myriads of options to choose from
which could become tricky when it comes to decide on which one to buy
and how to wear it.
It took me quite a considerable amount of time trying to
figure out which jacket suits me best and how much use can I get from it. My choice fell on a very pretty white colour bomber
jacket from “Lover” with the very distinctive texture of silk embroidery in
the same colour tone for a few reasons.
First of all, because of a solid colour and rich fabric, it would give me
endless opportunities for mixing and matching my bomber jacket with high and
low-end items of clothing depending on the time of the day, the event or my
mood. Also, because bomber jackets tend
to be quite boxy and can come across as slightly masculine, jackets in light
pastel shades seem to look more feminine.
During the day, I like to wear it with high-waisted
cropped pants and lace up flats for a playful and relax look.
Pants: Sass&Bide (I wore them here)
On a night out, I swap the flats for high heels
and a pair of well cut black classic or tuxedo pants for a touch of elegance. You can always add more glamour to your look
by wearing some gorgeous necklace or other eye catching accessories.
Pants: Fabiani (I wore them here)
The bomber jackets are fun and fresh cover-ups for
women who want to mix-up glamour and modern pace of life and are irreplaceable
for a transitional period. You can wear
it over your t-shirt or slightly warmer top once the temperature starts to fall.
They are great with almost any type of
pants or jeans and even with skirts and dresses and I would highly recommend them
to women of any age.
Wear a bomber jacket this season and you are
bound to look fabulous!!!
