Take Flight In Vogue’s Edit Of The Best Bomber Jackets
You’d be hard-pressed to get through a weekend without spotting a bomber jacket (or 12). Perhaps you spotted the shell body and rounded shoulders on the tube this morning? Or at the corner shop on the milk run? Prime spotting at Vogue HQ takes place in the lobby, where you can see them in all their various iterations – leathers, nylons, knitted collars, shearling collars – the list goes on. However, while they’re considered an everyday staple, these days you’re just as likely to spy one at a dinner party or festive soirée. That’s the beauty of a bomber jacket.
Few pieces in day-to-day dressing are as sought-after and versatile as the do-it-all flight jacket. With its soft padded shell, ribbed cuffs and elasticated waistband, it’s the perfect cold-weather layer hero. It’s no wonder, then, that designers continue to revisit the outerwear style year after year. Pioneers, such as Loewe, Acne Studios, and Simone Rocha (to name a few), have all left their mark, adding their own unique twist on the style. Loewe’s ballooning iteration holds particular cachet after being spotted on trend-setters Kendall Jenner and Taylor Russel, meanwhile at Vogue, we can’t get enough of Acne Studios’s padded pleather number.
Our edit includes only the best bombers, each with the ability to provide an edge to your winter outfits. Allow the strong silhouette of Frankie Shop’s Astra bomber to be the finishing touch to your daily denim, or leave it to Cos’s padded jacket to toughen-up your favourite LBD.
