Originally, a bomber jacket was a short leather jacket worn by the U.S. Air Force. This model of jacket appeared during the Second World War, but after the end of the confrontation it remained in the wardrobes - first as part of military equipment, and later - as an everyday thing.
It is easy to recognize the bomber jacket - it has a number of distinctive features:
Sometimes designers depart from the typical design of the bomber and deprive it of elastic bands along the bottom line or in the collar, but the neckline remains rounded, and the sleeves retain cuffs.
Initially, bombers were made of leather, and in the winter version they were insulated with fur, but modern fashion is multifaceted, so brands and fashion houses went beyond traditional leather and expanded the list of materials.
So, for example, in stores you can find a lace bomber, a fur product is an insulated option for late autumn and early spring, velvet, corduroy, suede, jeans and other fabrics.
With the development of fashion, military jackets began to be divided into types, although initially there were no varieties.
Modern types of bombers include:
There are also different styles of jackets. There are also classic options for casual, models imitating a jacket for sports and business style, printed models for boho or ethno, shiny bombers for glamorous girls and even products with scuffs for integration into relaxed grunge.
And what of all this diversity will be trendy this season - we tell further.
At the latest collections within the framework of fashion weeks, the bombers, although they did not become the highlight of the program, appeared on the catwalks of many fashion houses and brands.
BOSS pleased with oversized models in the spirit of American athletes - such baseball bombers are necessarily equipped with a patch in the form of letters or numbers. The brand has already released similar products in collaboration with Russell Athletic 2.0 - they were shown at Milan Fashion Week.
Brunello Cucinelli continued to adhere to a calm palette and in his traditional manner released a light beige mesh jacket.
Lacoste and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini supported BOSS and also decided not to give up large patches and club style.
From the experiments of Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini are also in no hurry to refuse - they released a sleeveless bomber - a vest.
The editors of DRESS magazine analyzed all the models presented by fashion designers and are ready to identify the top models of bombers that will be the most relevant in the spring-summer season:
Then we will go through each trend and tell you where to buy a fashionable women's bomber.
Quilting across the entire surface of the product is a hit last year, which hastily migrated to the spring-summer 2022 season. Quilted bombers are a great choice for spring, when the weather is not yet stable and at times a cold wind blows.
The variety of quilted bombers amazes the mind - Emilio Pucci has a stylish multi-colored model with ethnic motifs, Pull & Bear relies on bright colors, and Tommy Hilfiger prefers a fashionable dark blue shade.
Also at Tommy you can pick up a stylish quilted jacket in a sporty style - only the sleeves are decorated with quilting here, and the front part of the product is decorated with embroidery-coat of arms.
As soon as it gets warmer outside, all the things in the wardrobe begin to rapidly shorten. Fortunately, modern bombers can be shortened – this is relevant this season.
If you need a basic short version that will fit into any wardrobe - choose a black model, as in the Stradivarius catalog. The black bomber does not cause the question of what to wear it with - any everyday thing will look appropriate and concise.
Well, if you like experiments - choose from countless unusual models. The Stella McCartney has a green pilot's jacket as well as a trendy metallic shade. Combining them with other things in the image will not be easy, but if you succeed - you will be the most stylish.
The compromise between the black base and the color bomber will be a model of a calm shade - khaki, olive, beige - such are always in the catalogs of Zara, H&M and Stradivarius.
In almost any season, the question: which bombers in fashion can be safely answered - sports. And in this case, we are not talking at all about a relaxed style or a free cut, but about the characteristic American atmosphere. Such jackets are part of the uniforms of American athletes - football players, baseball players, as well as their support groups.
Characteristic features - made of fabric and always have stripes. To create an image in the spirit of a cheerleader will help the duet of a sports bomber and a short skirt in a fold, as in the Pull & Bear catalog.
A knitted bomber from BOSS or H&M will fit into a pair with sweatpants or complement the preppy style.
And sports bombers from Stradivarius or Mango are asked for a street style, where the incompatible is combined and there is a craving for experimentation in the air.
Well, what a modern sporty style without oversize - a voluminous pilot jacket from H & M - what you need for relaxed or multi-layered outfits.
A leather bomber is a great option if you want to complement a casual wardrobe. A leather jacket most often has a black color, so it fits perfectly into any look and does not create a conflict of shades.
The black leather bomber is easy to combine with skirts, trousers and dresses, but the most successful will be a tandem with jeans.
You can buy a fashionable women's bomber in the mass market - Zara, H & M, Stradivarius, as well as from middle segment brands - Mango, Michael Kors.
For a change, you can complement the wardrobe with a beige leather jacket - it is a little less practical and universal, but also perfectly combined with other colors in the image.
We will leave the basic palette for lovers of a restrained and minimalistic wardrobe, and fans of bright outfits are invited to take a closer look at fashionable color bombers. This included bright monochromatic models, and multi-colored, printed.
Let's start with the suite – here Dolce & Gabbana plays on contrasts. First, on the catwalk, fashion designers show a black and white model with many monograms, and then launches a bomber with a very bright floral print.
Etro is not far behind - their printed bomber will perfectly fit into the style of boho, ethno or hippie.
Mango appreciated the beauty of the emerald color, which became a real hit last year and is not going to give up a stylish bomber in a deep green color.
Summer extended jacket without sleeves is presented by Stella McCartney. Its main feature is a bright lining, which in an unbuttoned form will dilute even a monochrome bow.
It also has an elongated bomber with a slight metallic effect.
Black bombers – whether made of leather, or of silk – are a real hit of the season, and even universal. It fits perfectly into street fashion, appropriately complements everyday bows and will be harmonious in the style of grunge.
The demi-season black bomber Stella McCartney looks good with the dress, and the sleeveless model from Zara is begging for a total look.
To stop at the black and white palette advises Massimo Dutti. A black bomber is a great option for office workers who follow a dress code.
To make a variety in the image will help Louis Vuitton and their oversize model with a bright pattern and drapery on the sleeves.
