Spring Trend: The Bomber Jacket
The sporty look of the bomber jacket is taking over this Spring...if the season of rebirth and renewal ever arrives that is...
I'm digging the polished look of a sleek light weight bomber (silk or jacquard) paired with a feminine skirt.
Stella McCartney is killing it with this lovely Pink Python Jacquard Bomber with matching skirt, exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.
Favorite bomber of the season - This jacket incorporates two of the hottest trends this spring, bomber and python.
We're totally borrowing the bomber from the boys, making this feminine and tailored ensemble that much more unexpected and fresh.
Personally, I might pair Stella's jacquard bomber with this flowy white leather skirt from Club Monaco, seen below.
Bomber jacket and leather skirt; two pieces that should be quite masculine in theory, yet in reality are re- imagined as ladylike, whimsical, and modern, the perfect surprise.

A few other stand out bombers of the season are coming from 3.1 Philip Lim (Tattoo Embroidered Organza Jacket) and Scotch and Soda. Philip Lim, taking it to the next level of dainty with this sheer/transparent tattoo jacket, completely non functional and gorgeous.

Again, this Philip Lim jacket is combining two spring trends into one look, the bomber jacket and the cloth tattoo...as seen on the runway for Maison Martin Margiela. (Photos courtesy of Style.com) I just ran out to Scotch & Soda and purchased this silk bomber, just for this post! I saw it a few days ago and they only had one left (not my size). Apparently there are only two of these jackets left nationwide. It's a beautiful bomber, especially for the price point. I'm not sure why they didn't make more of them. For a similar style that's widely available, click here.
Stella's version of this type of coat is called the Natural Croc Aiden Coat, which I've only seen at the Soho store. Here's a similar Stella jacket called the Amelia Croc Jacquard Cady-Sleeve Varsity Jacket.
I've noticed a few designers taking the bomber collar and putting it on a over sized/boxy tapestry coat, like Scotch & Soda and Stella McCartney, as seen below.

For a pop of color try this red suede bomber by J. Lindeberg, as seen on Bradley Cooper.

You may not want to preemptively buy any of these jackets for your spring wardrobe, as it seems there is a good chance we're going into another ice age.
Until then, we'll keep dreaming of Spring...
