You Actually Need These Chic Bomber Jackets
What we now call bomber jackets were initially known as flight jackets—outerwear worn by military pilots to keep 'em warm in fighter planes as there weren't heaters back then *shudders*. Today, the versatile jacket has eclipsed its practical roots to become a total style essential that’s beloved by street style stars like Rihanna, the Hadids, and Kendall Jenner. Plus, high-end designers like Valentino, Loewe, and Max Mara have whipped up their own stylish renditions of the classic from time to time.
What's awesome about the bomber jacket is that there are so many styles to choose from—to work for every sort of outfit! Wearing athleisure or somethin' sporty? You'll want to throw on a bomber with more of a chill vibe, so go for an oversized look. Opting for cargo pants? Keep it casual with a regular fit style. Wanna go glam? Then, a sleek, satin bomber jacket would be your ticket to elevated chicness. And if you wanna show off your high-waisted pants (we get it, because same), then the cropped bomber is the best choice.

High speed ahead—just looking at this big and bold bomber jacket makes us want to hit up to the race tracks. Heads up: You may have to size down on this one, depending how oversized a look you’re after!
Rave Review: "This is the perfect oversized jacket," says a reviewer. "The sleeves aren’t super long. I’m shorter so the length covers my behind. It’s roomy enough to fit a pullover hoodie under. I think you could go a size up if you wanted, but I feel like there’s no need. The sayings on the jacket aren’t too corny, either."

It's not going to keep you very warm, but does a good job on a day with the sun out in 60s-75s temps. Such a staple for my wardrobe. I love it!"
