Bomber jackets have managed to escape the trend cycle of seasons past and graduate to a coveted wardrobe staple. The style offers endless potential; you can dress them up or down, and there’s no wrong time to wear them, day or night. Bombers come in a wide range of materials, from the classic satin or nylon to leather, suede, and shearling. And, importantly, a bomber has the unique ability to make just about any outfit both look and feel cool, no matter who is wearing it. They also have the seal of approval from fashion’s chicest insiders, including NYFW street style stars and celebrities, like Hailey Bieber.
Vogue’s Favorite Bomber Jackets:
When it comes to styling this transitional piece, we have plenty of ideas. Pair it with a knit and your favorite jeans for a quick and easy outfit recipe, or wear it with a sleek maxi skirt, black trousers, or a statement midi.
Below are 20 of our favorite bomber jackets and how to wear them.
The Leather Bomber
The bomber’s most accessible entry point comes in classic leather. Start here: We love a black version paired with a monochromatic maxi for a sleek city look.
The Sporty Bomber
Sporty nylon and silk bombers, championed by the likes of Sacai and Prada, are having a moment this spring. Balance their sheen with trim staples, like khakis and a button-down.
