As we sit here in a warm West End coffee shop with our dark mocha truffles (OMG YUM), watching these hot humans pass us by, we started to wonder if our trendy readers are liking or loathing the Bomber Jacket look...What’s your general take on them…?
To quote from our loveable and most intelligent friends at Wikipedia;
“The flight jacket, bomber jacket, or bombardier jacket refers to a garment jacket type originally created for military pilots”... Presumably we don’t have to be a pilot to be able to rock this stylish look though surely?
As you’d have probably guessed by walking the streets of London, Bomber Jackets are without a doubt one of the biggest trends of 2016 and can be seen all over the catwalk, in stores and on celebs. Luckily for us (and our bank balance), we have discovered that you don’t need to spend a ridiculous amount of money to be able rock this style! Whoop! You can find them all over the high street at affordable prices. There is one for every style and budget.
These super-hot statement jackets are so versatile that they can be thrown over any outfit. Whether you’re going for an elegant going-out look with heels and a black dress or combined with a simple white tee and skinny jeans for a casual outfit; these jackets are light enough that you won’t be too warm in the sun (yes, we do have sun in London…sometimes...)

So our verdict is;
- Bomber jackets are a HELL YEAH for 2016
- Wear them correctly or just don’t wear them at all
- If you are watching your pennies, stick with the High Street.
Lastly, no need to fear, you don’t need to be a pilot to be able to wear one! Phew! You were worried weren’t you?
