No longer reserved for sporty looks and off-duty wear, styling the modern bomber jacket is all about creating contrast.


The beauty of the bomber jacket is versatility – whilst at home as part of an athleisure get-up, the bomber will shine bright in a more eclectic setting.


Wear yours with a cami and romantic layered sheer maxi skirt, or over an autumnal floral midi dress. Or aim for the stars and pair your bomber with a tee and metallic pleated midi skirt. Elevate your wardrobe with one of these eight bomber jackets.
