Best women’s bomber jackets
SPRING has almost sprung, which means it’s nearly time to shake off the bulky layers and get yourself one of the best women’s bomber jackets.
Bomber jackets have been knocking about since World War I, starting off as a military flight jacket and then being adopted by the punks and skinheads in the late ‘60s. In the ‘90s, the bomber went mainstream and earned a reputation as a must-have street wear staple.
Today, bomber jackets are still so popular that you’ll find them at most high street and high-end retailers year-round. Maya Jama, Molly Mae Hague, Hailey Bieber, and Bella Hadid are just a few of the famous faces who rock the style on a regular basis, so you’ll be in good company if you decide to jump on the bandwagon.
These trendy jackets are ideal for trans-seasonal dressing, and they go with just about anything — from jeans and trainers to dresses and heels. This jacket is as versatile as it is trendy and, if you invest in a bomber, there’s a good chance that you’ll wear it for years to come.
Here, we’ve rounded up the best bomber jackets for women available right now:
