The best features of a bomber jacket

Guy or girl, here are some reasons why we love a bomber:

• Lightweight - Great for layering in the winter months, with a hoodie and an oversized scarf.
• Dress up or down -Bomber jackets work for every occasion - over a dress for easy going out vibes for girls or with jeans a plain tee for casual looks for guys.
• Strong collars - Bombers feat. shearling collars or structured designs are the best choice. Turn the collar up for bonus style points - or if you've left your scarf at home
• Embellishment - Carry on the military vibes with abomber that featuresold school patches and slogans. The bigger the better. You can evenadd these embellishments yourself- get the iron out and pick up some patches from a site like etsy.
• Sporty military - The only jacket that falls into both military and athleisure trends - bombers remind us of aviator styles but also look great with trackies or yoga leggings and a fitted sports top.
• Versatile colours - Khaki, black, tan, navy…these colours aren't boring - they mean your bomber goes with whatever you're gonna be wearing that day.
• More material - Bombers aren't limited to just one type of material - you can get wool, velvet, denim, faux fur, suede, leather and everything in between in this style to match your look.
