After taking a leave of absence from the trends, bomber jackets have finally returned. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Bella Hadid and Hailey Beiber have been rocking this classic jacket style, marking its comeback in 2022.
Truth be told, we might have gotten sick of the regular khaki versions circa 2016 and 2017 but we shouldn’t rule them out entirely. Bomber jackets are great for our tropical climate as they are lightweight compared to biker jackets and coats. The range is also impeccable – oversized, cropped, leather, satin and more, you name it. If you’re not convinced, we’ve gathered a couple of street style inspirations to demonstrate how the humble bomber can be worn in a multitude of ways. Check ‘em out below.
A smooth black leather bomber is easy to pull off and it can go with almost anything that you already have in your closet. Match it with a black tube top and a miniskirt to complete the look. Take it up a notch with sleek sunnies and add a pop of colour with the shoes.
Stranger Things star Maya Hawke is the perfect example of how to marry contrasting garments in the best ways. Don’t shy away from layering prints and textures with a spliced leopard-print bomber with a poofy mesh dress. Go one step further with a pair of rustic combat boots.
The oversized look has never gone out of style but we sure can spice it up. An orange bomber would go lovely with a white minidress that you might already own, just throw on a pair of cowboy boots and an oddly shaped bag to make the look quirky. If you’re up for it, cinch in that waist with a belt bag to add more dimension.
Embrace your inner child with this graphic bomber by Love Moschino that screams youthful energy. Keep it chic with an oversized white button down, a pair of leather shorts and a matching bag-shoe combo.
This style trick is timeless and rightfully so. Play around with different combinations and contrasting colours to find what works best. We suggest a barbie pink and a shocking blue – two hues that are a feast for the eyes.
It’s been raining a lot recently and that has us wanting to bundle up but we don’t have to sacrifice fashion in the process. Don a glossy bomber over a bodycon mididress that features a turtleneck, some boots and you are ready to face the gloomy weather.
If you’re into optimistic colours, might we suggest this matching Palm Angels crop top and miniskirt combo. Slip on a neutral bomber and patent leather pumps to finish off the look – gorgeous yet effortless.
