There are always many different fashion trends, but each season has its own distinctive feature. Now the bomber jacket has become popular among all men's jackets. They are sewn from a variety of materials leather, suede , denim , knitwear and quite expensive fabrics, even silk . Here we will give you some tips on how to choose and what to wear a bomber jacket with, depending on personal style preferences, goals and weather conditions.
Is it any wonder that the winner of Google’s latest annual Fashion Trends report was the cropped bomber jacket (searches are up 297 percent in the UK and 612 percent in the US, year on year)? Not only that, but you’ll often see them on the backs of style arbiters like Kanye West and David Beckham. Cropped bomber leather jackets highlight the shoulders and minimise the waist.
Suede bomber jacket
A tan suede bomber jacket makes for a softer, more sophisticated alternative to the more common style. As this guy shows, the bomber not only adds a nice tonal contrast against the navy and black, it’s a great transition piece between seasons, allowing you to beat the wind while still maintaining that necessary, bracing nonchalance. Even when you’re loaded down with a big backpack, as pictured here.
Leather bomber jacket
Ever since Tom Cruise wore one as Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in 1986, the leather bomber jacket with a shearling collar has been, like the film’s original tagline, “up there’s the best of the best.” Based on the military G-1 bomber jacket created by the U.S. Navy in the 1940s, it can lend an air of heroism to mere mortals. It can even replace a blazer and team with a shirt and tie. Or, as pictured here, add khaki chinos and a scarf. Wear this jacket when you want to spice up your look.
Green bomber jacket
Nothing says “Libertatem Defendimus” “We Defend Liberty”: actually the motto of the Second Wing of the U.S. Air Force) like a green bomber jacket, which can trace its lineage back to the MA-1, the original bomber jacket made from parachute silk that became standard issue in the 1950s for the U.S. Navy and Air Force (first seeing service during the Korean War). The style has changed little since then. Note the ribbed collar, cuffs, and front pockets. This man softens the jacket’s military appeal by layering it over less combative pieces, including a white turtleneck and blazer.
Souvenir bomber jacket
We can thank American soldiers stationed in Asia during World War II for popularizing a colorful version of the bomber that became known as the “souvenir jacket.” Made in Japanese style with hand-embroidered patterns of tigers, cherry blossoms, dragons, and the American eagle, the souvenir bomber has been a staple for the past few seasons. This man, Simone Marchetti, fashion editor of La Repubblica, demonstrates the best way to wear them: with a simple, muted palette to let the little sparrows and zippers really take flight.
Oversize
Bombers are the Stradivarius of streetwear, as they can withstand any number of shenanigans. The latest iteration bears witness to this a reincarnation of the oversized style. The sagging shoulders and battered sleeves come courtesy of cult brand Vetements, which added embroidered sleeves and metal pentagrams for good measure, along with a sleeveless couture hood in collaboration with Alpha Industries, creators of the original MA-1. Others have since followed suit, and this guy embodies the attitude the garment demands edgy, casual and, above all, oversized.
University bomber jacket
The varsity bomber has always been a heavy hitter, but today’s distinct leather-paneled version with its bold stripes that add a sleek, graphic punch is the Ivy League of all bombers. This guy contrasts the clean, consistent lines of the jacket by loosening up the top. He also paired it with an equally monochrome oversized beanie and a straightened shirt. The mix of shapes and textures shows depth and character in this look.
Multilayered
If you want to wear two jackets, make several combos, then try this explosive substance - a dark bomber over a classic denim jacket. The bomber's characteristically roomy construction from shoulder to sleeve allows you to create layering with impunity. This is what makes a man's outfit unusual and fresh, combining casual with formal, from a beanie and a bright T-shirt to pressed chinos. This is a testament to the versatility of the dark bomber, for which there will always be a place in your wardrobe.
You don't have to be an athlete or a pilot to wear a bomber jacket. Wear it with your favorite jeans or other trousers, sneakers or loafers to look interesting and add a bit of variety to your wardrobe. It doesn't matter whether you like rock and roll, sports or classics, whether you drive your own car or the subway, whether you work in an office or are a freelancer. One thing is clear - once you put on such a jacket, you will once and for all be convinced of its indispensability, practicality and your absolute love for such a bright element of your own wardrobe.
