How to Look Slick & Pretty in a Bomber
A bomber jacket is useful on cooler days or evenings. Although it is an athleisure piece, it can be dressed up as well as down. Age doesn’t matter because on-trend styles always look young! There are lots of modern versions out now, including off-the-shoulder jackets. And since the bomber jacket is a classic, you should even be able to find one at a secondhand store.
There are quilted bombers, sequined ones, leather ones, lace ones, weatherproof ones, fleece ones, denim ones, baseball style, military style, you name it!
Since there are so many types of bomber jackets, you can use one to dress up or down a plain outfit. Or, on the other hand, you can dress up or down your bomber with special outfits or casual ones.
A bomber jacket can be used in place of a jean jacket, moto jacket or even in place of a utility jacket.
Here are some ways to wear the bomber, including how to look slick while you’re at it. 😉
- A bomber jacket + a sheath dress or body-con dress.
- A bomber jacket + a long pencil skirt + a matching top. Add heeled boots, booties, shoes or sandals.
- A bomber jacket + a top of your choice over a short black pencil skirt. Add heels.
- A bomber + a short chiffon skirt (for example, a black bomber + black chiffon skirt).
- Your favorite tee & jeans + a bomber jacket. You may want to messy tuck the t-shirt. Try adding high heels.
- A romantic top +slim black pants + a black bomber jacket. Add black heels. Or, just match your pants and heels to your bomber.
- A bomber jacket + any top tucked into linen trousers.
- A bomber + skinnies + sneakers. If they are all in the same color, you will have a slim silhouette.
- A crew-neck sweater + skinnies or flares + a bomber. Keep them in the same color or tone for a slim silhouette.
- A bomber jacket + jeans, casual pants, or dressy trousers. Add a top of your choice.
- A tunic in a color that matches your bomber + skinny blue jeans. Add neutral heeled ankle boots.
- A bomber jacket + any top + skinny blue jeans (if the bomber is short, replace skinny jeans with a different cut). Add heeled sandals; a metallic would be good.
- A bomber + a neutral-color tee + pants or jeans to match the color of your bomber.
- A bomber + a Henley + jeans.
- A black bomber jacket + a printed top + black skinnies. Add black biker boots. Or, match your skinnies and boots to your bomber.
- Evening: A black sports bra as crop top or a black sport tank + a long black pencil skirt + a pretty bomber jacket. Add black strappy heels.
My husband said, “These are not bomber jackets! Do you know what a bomber jacket is? It was what the WWI fighter pilots wore for protection.” They looked like this:
You can still find new and vintage bomber jackets for women that are similar to this. It’s up to you what you like best. Just show your true self; age doesn’t matter!
