The bomber jacket is a trend that returns every year, and the rise in the laid-back style is well underway for spring. Suitable for every season, a bomber jacket can be paired with just about any outfit to create an instant 'cool girl' look – and the right one will be a staple in your wardrobe.
Every it-girl from Hailey Bieber to Sienna Miller has hopped on the bomber jacket trend, and I've handpicked the best styles so you can too. Whether you're searching for a leather bomber jacket or a classic style to throw on all season, there are so many options around right now, so there's something for everyone.
How to style a bomber jacket
The beauty of a bomber jacket is that it can be styled in countless ways. During the colder months, we often see the boxy style teamed with chunky boots and maxi dresses, and as the weather gets warmer, there's always a rise in the mini dress and bomber combo. The outerwear also looks timeless paired with wide-leg trousers, particularly if you're opting for a cropped oversized jacket.
How I chose
- Variety: I've selected a variety of styles from oversized bomber jackets to leather styles in black, grey, and khaki colourways.
- Price: I've chosen a selection of price points for every budget, ranging from £40 to £200.
- Availability: I've only picked products with a wide range of sizes still available to shop, with some plus-size options available.
- Trusted brands: I've selected bomber jackets only from brands that myself and the HELLO! team love. While I haven't tried and tested all the products in the list, the brands chosen are some of our favourites.
