Bomber Command – The Classic Men’s Jacket Is Back In Style | Fashion

[ad_1]

TThe bomber jacket has never been an essential wardrobe addition and is enjoying a renaissance in style, playing a key role on runways, from Prada and Saint Laurent to a leather version of the Loewe cushion. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have been playing with size for a few seasons, adding to the popularity of the oversized look.

Prada’s pink leather beanie was spotted on Canadian rapper Drake in his music video, while newly appointed Louis Vuitton menswear creative director Pharrell Williams opted for a matching red leather Ernest W. Baker bomber at the Grammys.

Something classic to wear every day or a statement piece for special occasions? Zara’s satin baseball team fit is similar to a souvenir jacket, the color and fabric giving it trophy status. Remember Ryan Gosling’s driver’s jacket? Case closed. Wear it for outings or events. Ditto varsity jackets with best buys on resale sites. Depop has some great styles from £40, and cudoni.com has the Casablanca Cream Jacket (£195). Customize your look with color and if you wear a lot of neutrals, add a bright color to the mix. Meanwhile, River Island’s little black, Gap’s old-school green with orange lining (£75) and weekday retro navy (£79) are casual wear that spring is here now. Pair with denim for a leather version (£339, allsaints.com), Axel Arigato (3, below) or Gant Khaki (£220). Experiment with styles such as Rod & Gunn (4 below) and Oliver Spencer Langar (£360) and style with flared trousers or bottoms with jeans and a white t-shirt.
