Bomber jacket

The invariable attribute of youth style - the bomber jacket - has finally taken its rightful place in Russian fashion. This stylish wave came from the USA and Europe, and at first it was little understood by the Russian people.

... Therefore, now, when fears and doubts about wearing such a thing in everyday outfits have receded into the background, we propose to find out what a bomber jacket is, how to choose it correctly and what to wear with!

Answering this question, you should immediately indicate: there is both a jacket and a jacket, called a bomber. Bomber jackets appeared much earlier. The famous style was developed by the American flying club owners in 1929. Brothers Robert and John Douglases ran a small club that offered demonstration flights and excursions for tourists. And since the cockpits of the aircraft at that time were open, it was possible to be on board only in very warm clothes.

Such jackets for pilots and passengers of the first half of the 20th century later became a fashion trend related to the military style. They are sewn from leather, suede, jeans and other thick and warm materials. Recently, there are more and more lightweight models designed for the summer.

The term "bomber jacket" should be understood as a sports jacket with logos, numbers or letters. Initially, such sweaters became an attribute of the uniform of American and European educational institutions. In the middle of the last century, bomber jackets were worn exclusively by schoolchildren and students in the United States and advanced European countries.But today it is an invariable part of the youth style in clothing, therefore bombers with stripes, numbers, letters or names of foreign educational institutions are not a sign of belonging to them, but just a fashionable chip.

In fact, whatever you call a bomber - a jacket or a sweater - this is a great thing for the off-season. It will perfectly warm you in early spring or late autumn, and if the model is made of waterproof material, then such a bomber jacket will also protect you from rain.

The main distinguishing feature of the bomber is a puffy (voluminous) silhouette, short length (barely covering the navel), tight knitted cuffs, collar and lower edging - with elastic bands, deep pockets. The fastener is most often with a zipper or with buttons.

The bomber jacket looks very stylish and relevant in any wardrobe - for men, women, children. But since we have already decided that a bomber jacket (as opposed to a bomber jacket) is an accessory of a sports style, it is important to understand all the features inherent in such a thing.

If we talk about the most relevant bomber jacket now, the first thing to do is to highlight the sports model. Such sweaters are made, as a rule, of knitted fabrics, richly decorated with inscriptions, numbers, and large letters.

In a separate group of models, bombers with a volumetric cut can be distinguished. These varieties are already more like jackets. They are distinguished by an increased volume not only in the body area, but also on the sleeves. They look especially stylish when they are casually thrown over without buttoning.

Quilted bombers look even more like demi-season jackets. It is not the first season that such materials have been in trend, and now in a similar design you can find a fashionable jacket in an aviator's style. Finishing with stitches can cover the entire jacket as a whole, or touch only its individual elements - sleeves, front part, selective areas.

Another group of bomber models are bold bright variations made on experiments with colors, fabrics, textures. If in the traditional representation a bomber jacket is either military (plain, leather or suede), or sports (knitted with inscriptions), then absolutely any material and pattern can be used here.

The traditional bomber jacket is most often made from knitted fabrics. For example, from the footer. Depending on the purpose of the season, it can be with or without lining. In any case, such a blouse is always cozy and warm. Patches in the form of letters and numbers are usually made of fabrics of contrasting texture - velvet or satin.

Leather bomber jackets are also trendy now. Even if this is a thin jacket that completely repeats the cut of a sports model, it may well be made of leather. And it may even have characteristic stripes, or be monochromatic - the main thing is that this material does not cease to be fashionable. This also applies to jeans.

Now, when eclecticism does not leave fashion shows, a bomber jacket made of different fabrics will look very original and appropriate. Typically, the companion fabric is set aside for the sleeves, while the rest of the jacket is made up of the base material. You can also pay attention to bomber jackets made of blended fabrics. They are distinguished by their high strength and durability.

The lining of the bomber jacket is almost always an integral part of this unique style. So, in light models, it performs an exclusively aesthetic function, always being in contrast to the main color of the jacket. In insulated models, the lining also has a practical role. Fleece models are especially good. They will always warm you in bad weather.

The modern women's bomber jacket only vaguely resembles its prototype. Any bold models and their combinations in the wardrobe are possible this season. Eclecticism is still honored, so a stylish bomber jacket should be multi-colored, made of two or more fabrics. And of course, the "combination of the incongruous" in an outfit with a bomber should be present.

For fans of the military style, there is an opportunity to appear on the streets of the city in all its glory. It does not go out of style, and the bomber jacket will become the centerpiece of the ensemble in this stylish direction.

Conservative fashionistas should pay attention to the models of bombers, made in restrained colors and having a simple, uncomplicated cut. Such jackets of a fashionable aviator style will allow you to create images that are feminine, but at the same time strict and incredibly stylish.

For young and carefree young ladies, there is always the opportunity to play a little naughty and show their eccentric character in everyday outfits. And they will be helped in this by no less relevant today models of sweater-bomber jackets, made in bright colors or even covered with cartoon prints.

Women's bomber jackets in white or gray are very relevant this season. Both in the summer and in the autumn-spring period, stylish aviator-style sweaters in this color scheme will be an excellent option for completing an outfit. Moreover, stylists recommend trying both monochromatic and two-tone models. And the combination of these two tones is now in great demand.

Black is a timeless solution. Women's bomber jackets in this classic range come in a variety of styles. But special attention should be paid to the simplest models. They are the ones who are in trend now. A real hit in your wardrobe will be a lightweight black bomber jacket with a flashy bright orange lining.

Anyone who does not hesitate to fill their wardrobe with bright little things can safely give free rein to their feelings. Women's bombers in rich colors - yellow, blue, green, red - are also very relevant this season. In the latest collections, designers offer the most discerning fashionistas to try on bright blouses-bombers with a metallic tint (lilac, gold, bronze, blue). Such original color schemes are worthy of attention of lovers of unusual outfits for everyday life.

As with any wardrobe item, there is still room for a wide variety of prints in the rich and varied line of women's bomber jackets. The most popular are floral motifs (flowers, greenery, trees, leaves), animal ornaments (birds, feathers, the animals themselves or their color), "female things" (hearts, lipstick, kisses), geometry (peas, cages, rhombuses, abstract patterns), as well as prints on the theme of space.

If we are talking about a traditional sports bomber jacket, then everything is pretty predictable. Patches or embroidery in the form of letters, inscriptions, numbers are made with satin fabrics or threads. Shocking options are possible with the addition of rhinestones, shiny threads and other glamorous attributes.

If we consider non-sporting models, then here the designers, as always, give full free rein to their imaginations. Rivets, zippers, thorns, massive metal decorations are actively used to decorate women's military-style bombers. For more feminine models, sequins, lace, decorative brooches, flowers are used.

If the bomber jacket is made in any bright print, additional decor is not applied. All of these bold embellishments are only appropriate for solid or two-tone designs. The patches look very good on leather or knitted bomber jackets. By the way, you can make them yourself, giving individuality to your thing.The area for decoration is most often the front or back, but the sleeves are usually left intact.

The safest option is to combine a bomber jacket with trousers. Jeans, joggers or formal office - it does not matter. Any such ensemble will look organic and appropriate.

Women's bomber jackets look very good with dresses. Moreover, almost any model of this elegant women's outfit will be perfectly complemented by such a jacket. For a stylish look, do not button up your bomber jacket. If it's cool outside, wrap a bulky scarf around your neck, but leave the jacket open.

Want to wear a bomber jacket with a skirt? Please! Maxi or midi, pencil or sun - any option will be good. For a feminine look, complement your outfit with high heels. And if you want to play with the grunge style, feel free to put on rough boots.

Any model of a women's bomber jacket will look great with shorts. And on the basis of this combination, you can get a lot of outfits in a variety of styles. A naughty sports one - with sneakers, sneakers; daring and strict - with loafers, brogues, chelsea; fatal and seductive - with high-heeled shoes or platform ankle boots.

A refreshing spring outfit - a blue, white and red bomber, draped over a romantic white dress. The ensemble is perfectly finished with rough military-style boots.

For a casual style, this outfit can be called classic: a sports bomber jacket, black jeans - tight and slightly cropped, converse sneakers and a simple black bag with a wide belt. Under the jacket there can be a T-shirt, a shirt, a pullover, or maybe all at once - it depends on the season!

And here's an example of how a sports bomber jacket can fit perfectly into an office outfit. Strict adherence to one color scheme in each wardrobe element helps to smooth out the difference between such seemingly incompatible styles. The result is an original, but at the same time completely organic outfit.

This image is both fatal and romantic. The prevailing pastel color scheme is neatly emphasized by black accessories and set off by a bright top. Its extreme length hints at the boldness of the nature who put it on, but the bomber chastely covers the nakedness, only slightly exposing it.
