Your new wardrobe heroes

In a city where winter is short and brisk, shopping for transeasonal outerwear comes with many underlying considerations: Is it versatile? How does it fare in timelessness? Most importantly, is it an embodiment of your taste and sense of style?

The bomber jacket checks all those boxes and proceeds to exceed your expectations. Originating in the early 1900s as army aviation outerwear, this evergreen creation continues to inspire designer reimagination throughout the years.

Read on for three ways to wear the bomber jacket this coming season.

Loved by generations since the dawn of the last century, the iconic bomber jacket possesses understated simplicity, a sturdy silhouette, and subdued shades — lending edge to your seasonal looks when paired with a simple T-shirt and straight-legged jeans.

The sentimental value and styling possibility of the varsity jacket are truly unsurpassable. If you could use an upgrade from your original college piece, invest in designer renditions with the same striking colour stories plus an abundance of creative motifs. Feeling daring? Throw it back to the retro days with your matching Air Jordans and washed jeans.

Our wardrobe tends to take a turn for the muted and understated as the temperature drops, but if blending in is unbecoming of you, try on bomber jackets that put emphasis on texture, print, and colour. Avoid taking the spotlight away from these maximalist statement pieces by going neutral for the rest of your ensemble.
