In case you hadn’t noticed, the beloved bomber jacket is back this season and it is bigger than ever. Say goodbye to 2016’s puffer jacket and hello to 2017’s winter must-have, the statement bomber.
In the midst of the winter season, jackets and coats are a nonnegotiable item when it comes to staying warm and layering up, and this season it is all about the bomber. Originating from military pilot style, the bomber jacket, (or MA-1 technically speaking) has slowly been embraced by the fashion industry starting in subcultures like punk and rebels in the late 60’s and 80’s ,then moving to the hollywood screen in the 80’s and 90’s, and finally meeting the runway and making its debut in high fashion in the 2000’s.
With the revival of the 80’s staple this winter, not only are simple neutral coloured bombers in, (and always will be), they have taken side-stage to bombers full of colour, embroidery, silks and detail. With the style of the bomber jacket being a statement of its own as evident throughout runway collections, style imagery, and the fact that they are a number one sellout in fashion retail, there is something extra special about the trend of statement bombers. With the contrast of pretty floral embroidery on the sporty silhouette, or lace and quilted, bold coloured jackets with intricate detailing, what is there not to love?
Not only is the statement bomber super fun and playful, but it is an easy way to spice up your outfit in one simple step. This piece is easy to wear, versatile and is perfect for on-the-go moments, (not to mention those sport luxe and off duty vibes). Believe me when I say that the statement bomber will single handedly take over your winter wardrobe, being a game changer that can be paired back with any outfit from jeans and a tee-shirt to a party dress.
So go big or go home this winter with the season favourite, bomber jacket and make a statement.
Lots of Love,
