The Best Bomber Jackets for Spring
The bomber jacket—once a utilitarian staple—has become a stylish must-have for your spring wardrobe. This versatile jacket, a perfect transition item from winter into spring, will appear on spring men’s runway shows from London and Milan to New York and Paris. It’s being offered in numerous styles, from sporty striped versions to racy red models. Here are some of the best bombers of the season.
Dior Homme
This style from Dior Homme ($2,350) is a perfect mix of casual and buttoned up, as it swaps out an elasticated collar for a sharply tailored one and incorporates pockets reminiscent of men’s suiting. The red-and-white striped ribbed cuffs and waist ensure that the style remains laid back, making it as easy to pair with a T-shirt as it is with a button-down shirt. (diorhomme.com)
Berluti
A classically cut bomber jacket in a bold color, like this fire-engine-red style from Berluti ($2,210), is an easy way to make sure your jacket stands apart from the crowd. Made in lightweight, unlined cotton, this versatile jacket is thin enough to wear under a heavier top coat for a flash of color or as a casual outerwear piece in warmer weather. (berluti.com)
Burberry
Play into the bomber jacket’s streetwear heritage with a model that is slightly edgy. This studded lambskin bomber from Burberry ($4,295) incorporates just the right amount of punk-inspired metal accents to make it eye-catching yet wearable. (burberry.com)
Gucci
Heavily embellished bombers were first made popular by American soldiers returning from WWII’s Pacific Ocean theater with their military-issued jackets embroidered with traditional Japanese symbols and motifs. Gucci revived the souvenir jacket in early 2016, and its heavily embroidered jackets became an immediate street-style favorite. This season, Gucci showed the embroidered jacket in corduroy ($6,950).
