The humble bomber jacket is one fashion statement that, like the trench coat, is a returning, timeless style that has seen many variations over the years from once heavy, nylon-laden boxy styles that were designed for practicality to stunning, beautifully patterned festival - and fancy event - ready models.
With many of us ditching out woollen coats (finally, now that May's here) in favour of a lighter variation, the bomber jacket is ideal for spring styling as it is lightweight but warm and is the ultimate 'throw-on-and-go' piece that can easily fit in with any outfit and any event.
The garment is a firm favourite amongst celebrities like and Loose Women's for its versatility and finish, the latter of which said of the style: "In my opinion they always give an outfit a cooler edge and I love how you can just throw it on with pretty much anything." We couldn't agree more.
