Stylist Q&A: How do I pick the right style of bomber jacket
A bomber jacket is a refreshing take on a regular jacket and it’s a very practical outerwear option to have in your wardrobe. There are a few different types of bombers out there and what you pick essentially depends on your lifestyle, where you are planning to wear it and your personal style. A lot to consider? We are here to break it down for you.
Khaki/navy/black nylon or polyester bomber
This style has a casual and easy-going feel with some stretch for all-day comfort. These bombers are usually lightweight making them perfect for the Aussie autumn or even winter if layered over a warm knit. In terms of styling this type of bomber is very easy to style – simply pair with your favourite jeans, a basic tee and a pair of sneakers and you will look effortlessly stylish.
Varsity bomber jacket
If you like to incorporate more colour and contrast into your wardrobe and love the casual, old-school feel, the athletic bomber jacket is not going to disappoint. You can style it with just a tee and jeans or balance out the casualness with a pair of relaxed trousers.
Suede bomber jacket
Suede jackets are very versatile and can be worn casually and over work wear, adding an extra layer of polish to the outfit. If you opt for a suede bomber, you will no doubt be able to mix and match it into different looks. Style with a button up shirt, dress shoes and a matching belt for the office or go casual by pairing it with a knit, jeans or chino pants and a pair of boots or sneakers.
Wool bomber jacket
A wool bomber jacket would have a similar level of versatility and styling possibilities as the suede jacket, plus the added warmth which is definitely a bonus if you live in a colder state like Victoria or Tasmania. Choose a colour that you can wear easily with most pieces in your wardrobe, which would typically be colours like black, navy, grey or brown.
